Which threads should drop like a stone without comment?

[JuniperLea]

Anyone?

[Katherine Brengle]

1. Hmm...

I'm going to stop posting in any and all Gardasil threads for a start. And I tend to ignore copycat threads and celebrity gossip threads...

[WindRavenX]

4. seconded on the Gardasil threads

Pretty much because I've used them exclusively to identify loons for my ignore list.

[JuniperLea]

30. I'm proud to say I'm on one of the most awesome ignore lists around!

I share it with kpete, TahitiNut, and a bunch more really cool peeps! I wear it as a badge of honor.

;)

[JuniperLea]

9. Good call!

Me too.

[sandnsea]

10. Well you say that to yourself

And for a few days you go along, rolling your eyes, and biting your tongue. Then all of a sudden you see one that is so completely ABSURD that to not respond would literally cause steam to shoot out your ears...

:argh:

[JuniperLea]

15. It can be therapeutic:) n/t

[Katherine Brengle]

29. True lol.

My plan is to do my vewwy best :D.

13. Mixed feelings on the Gardasil threads.

Should they be ignored and left unchallenged? What if some kid reads that shit and falls for it?

Or should they get deleted, like the "HIV doesn't cause AIDS threads?"

I'd prefer the latter, personally.

[uppityperson]

19. Me too.

Search can be instructive also.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. Oh, I already know who the loonies are.

If that's what you're saying.

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. I don't know about a stone, but the ones about dropping the soap

ought to be dropped!

[JuniperLea]

11. LOL!!! There ya go!

How about dropped like a nun's knickers?

[dogday]

23. Yikes, I made the dropping the soap

remark, but you have to look at the full context of the situation to understand it... Oops :shrug:

[dogday]

3. Most of mine do... I guess I don't use the look at me

Thread title to catch people's eye.... Oh well

[WI_DEM]

7. yeah, but you got six hearts!

[JuniperLea]

14. You are just too nice... controversy sells

You wouldn't do what it takes to rile folks up;) Good for you!

I've always admired your restraint.

:hug:

[uppityperson]

5. Which ones deserve an immediate "alert"?

[WI_DEM]

6. This one

D'Oh!!

[JuniperLea]

16. Why I oughta!

nyuk nyuk nyuk!

[stevedeshazer]

8. Yours, because it has no content

[JuniperLea]

17. Oh, it does... if you have been paying attention for the last hour or so...

Even if you haven't, if you have spent any time at all at DU, you should have noticed a few that you would surely not post on out of principle.

[dogday]

20. It is a valid question to ask on the board

why do some post go to the top while some sink to the bottom?

Some valid good post get missed while we are all concentrating on Anna Nicole or Gay showering or even one of the post I posted about talking urinal cakes....

[Subdivisions]

12. Your thread should.

[JuniperLea]

18. If that's the case

You just blew it big time!

Neener neener!


:p

[Subdivisions]

25. LOL :)

[devilgrrl]

22. Mine.

:evilfrown:

[JuniperLea]

27. Bah! Despite your evil name

I suspect you are too nice... and you don't try to grab the limelight with your thread titles.

[hyphenate]

24. I dunno

I find many of my own have lead weights attached to them, vanishing with no ceremony, completely ignobly and lost to the four winds....

[treestar]

26. Your threads!

Just kidding.

[JuniperLea]

28. Bite me!

Just kidding.

:)


:P

[Hekate]

31. Eh. No comment. nt

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. Yours.

:rofl:

On edit: HAHAHAHA shoulda read the replies first. Seems I'm the gazillionth person to reply with the same thing! But ya did kinda leave the door wide open for it hehehe.

[JuniperLea]

33. And you have to admit that not only did I get what I asked for

But I had some pretty damn good snappy comebacks too!

:rofl:


You were late to the party, but you got the drift just fine:)

[More Than A Feeling]

34. The "Democratic Party OWNZ your vote and your soul and how DARE you think differently?"

threads.

Lectures about how people MUST vote are undemocratic. For the love of all that is sacred, stop obsessing about people who take a look at third parties! Their vote is not pre-owned by Democrats!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

35. Any topic where the sheer number of threads becomes ridiculous.

I never really used the "hide thread" feature until the proliferation of Edwards' House threads. Just the sheer NUMBER of threads, and the fact that some people posted multiple threads on the topic that didn't add new discussion material from their previous thread of an hour earlier, really pissed me off and I wound up hiding dozens of threads.

I feel the same way about the Gardasil threads now, just too many damn threads on it.

Of course any topic that prompts people to post that many threads is such a "hot button" topic that it would be the last to "sink" without response.

[JuniperLea]

36. I would have to agree

I'm using that "ignore thread" button more and more. It may be our only saving grace.
