Please consider joining me in Xing out all threads about or related to a certain topic.

[patrice]

Thanks for thinking about this.

:hi:

[nashville_brook]

1. oh shit! i forgot you could do that!!!!!!!

[StarburstClock]

9. So did I but it's a great idea.

There are a few topics, one in particular, that I am not at all interested in.

[lpbk2713]

2. I don't unrec much.

But when it comes to censoring what others have to say I usually make an exception.


Have a nice day. :)

3. You misunderstand what I am saying. Xing out affects ONLY you.

I don't wish to see so much useless stuff, so I X it out/Hide the thread, so I don't have to sort out the good stuff from the useless distractions.

[lpbk2713]

19. Thank you for your courteous reply.

It is good to see we here on DU can still agree to disagree.

:hi:

[cliffordu]

4. Only the mods or the owners can censor....

Inviting others to join in a protest by xing out certain topics hardly qualifies.

mass fail.

Thanks for playing, though....

[Dappleganger]

10. LOL

I guess you don't understand the irony in your post, either.

[JuniperLea]

23. I like the irony of the second post...

The one after going through the motions of hiding this thread... {click} Because he/she'd never be able to make the second post if he/she'd actually done that;)

5. Then I'm X'ing as well as sorting through a Latest Page stuffed with distractions.

6. ???????????

[patrice]

13. There's an X inside a small box following the subject line of each thread in

Latest Discussion Threads. If you click on that X, that thread is removed from YOUR stream.

[Deep13]

15. I just don't know which threads you are talking about.

My first guess was the royal wedding, but I don't think there are a whole lot of threads on that.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. Nah, I prefer alerting on disruptive threads instead. If you catch my drift.

[Poboy]

8. I highly recommend reading this thread though...

"But unlike those efforts, the push in Massachusetts was led by Democrats who have traditionally stood with labor to oppose any reduction in workers’ rights."

Outrageous.

[monmouth]

11. Between "that topic" and that friggin wedding I may have to talk to people!! Nooooooo..n/t

[hobbit709]

12. I'm not much for censoring

[patrice]

14. How is it censoring when the action affects only what you see? Not others.

[hobbit709]

17. I don't censor myself too well either.

Just because I see a thread doesn't have to mean I click on it.

And I've looked at threads that I didn't particularly agree with that had some enlightening comments.

[Blue-Jay]

16. I'll start with this one.

[Peacetrain]

18. I would start with this one..but since I can't afford to be a member anymore.. here you are

[pipi_k]

20. I think some probably don't understand...

that it's easier to click on the little "x" and hide all those threads than to write endless posts asking (or, in some cases, demanding) that people "Stop posting that stuff!"

Hiding threads from yourself isn't censorship.

Asking others to not post certain things...well, it's certainly an attempt to censor people...

[patrice]

24. Thanks for this neatly rational clarification!

:hi:

[JohnnyRingo]

21. I wonder what you were hoping to find on the internet today.

Let's see what's new:

[spanone]

22. except your topic?

[pintobean]

25. I suggest we all

open our wallets and face all bills top down. I only have a couple bucks, but I'm doing it for the cause (whatever that is).
