Then you have a poor memory.

Posts are not made in a vacuum. If someone says, in one thread, that VA benefits should be cut, then in another thread sympathizes with Buster’s bad experience in the VA hospital, that person should be called on it. Or if someone trashes Shaw in one thread, then asks Shaw not to leave in another, that person needs to be called on it.

I chose to put the individuals on ignore several days ago. I haven't read a post nor typed a word to either of them since. I plan on continuing. If I do I request that I be banned, temporarily or permanently, mods'/UT's choice.
That good enough?

For which I was again ridiculed. here. I also offered an option here. Aside from lookout, I was ignored.

Obviously, your link shows that you read my post. I hope you’ll do the honorable thing. I’m kidding.:blush:
Classic gets wrapped up in the name calling, as I do, and as others do. At least some of Classic posts seem to genuinely seek to initiate a discussion apparently so that he can have a better informed opinion on a subject. He adds much more substance than merc.

the merc has an irritating rating of 135, but that is mitigated by his willingness to be a real person who we can get to know.....for a -50 irritating effect, netting him a rating of 85 irritating points.
redux has an irritating rating of 85.
equivalent.

Merc, your advantage in political threads is that you're more of a real person in non-political threads. You're a real person, compared to Redux, because none of us get a sense of who he is in real life.

I don’t think someone should get a pass for saying “you have a cute kitten” or “I’m really sorry about ur finger”. That doesn’t solve the problem in the politics and current events forums. If you want to solve the problem, come down equally on ALL offenders.

Aww… I feel the same way about you, my little douchebag.:comfort:

In another tavern, Merc sits at a table with his friends. He hears a keyword at a different table, and walks over to that table and tells the person speaking that he is an asshole for thinking like that, and then goes back to the table with his friends. Is that better? Maybe to his friends it is, but not to anybody else. And many times, the two tables will start yelling at each other, disrupting the whole tavern.

Take it to the politics forum, huh? Maybe the “teams” mentioned earlier are not just political “teams”.

Here's an idea, Jim. You're well respected here. When someone posts a dismissive or insulting post, tell them to stop. Remember how obedient Classic was, when you told him to stop kicking the retarded kid? I'll bet Merc will listen to you, too. I don't want to sound like "they started it", but I will bet you that if you get merc and classic to stop, redux and I will have no reason to be asshats.

Jim is the perfect person to do this. He cared enough to start this thread, after all.
