Will be adding Joy Reid to my list of auto trash by keyword

It is my understanding that she has a show on MSNBC and maybe a radio program too but I've never watched the show (I don't watch tv news) nor have I heard her on the radio. I don't know what she looks like.

As the discussion, apparently she posted something quite awhile ago, about Joy interests me not at all, I'll add her to the list of auto trash by key word. A list that contains:

Dworkin
Bernie
Sanders
Mensch
Sarandon
Stein
Taylor
Franken

And the list contains "Hillary" because so many threads that mention her in an OP are just refighting of the past primary.

The auto trash by keyword function is quite useful and cleans up GD quite nicely. Those who wish to discuss the people I've listed can continue to do so.

Whats the point of this post? Are you just trying to get a brawl going for fun? Why don't you just hide whomever and move on?

The auto trash by keyword is a useful feature and there may be DUers who do not know about it.

It beats manually deleting each thread. Some here have made the comment that they are tired of the refighting of the 2016 primary. Something I don't see because of the names I have listed that trigger the auto trash by keyword function.

I am on a cooking site, but I trash posts with words baking, broiling, steaming and anything with the words "meat" or "vegetable."

A better one would be you are a member of a cooking site and trash posts with words playground, automobile, weather, and so on.

I would just rather not engage or have my GD filled with threads that are, IMO, mostly forum infighting.

The mission statement of DU:

"Mission Statement

Democratic Underground is an online community where politically liberal people can do their part to effect political and social change by:

Interacting with friendly, like-minded people;
Sharing news and information, free from the corporate media filter;
Participating in lively, thought-provoking discussions;
Helping elect more Democrats to political office at all levels of American government; and
Having fun!"

I don't see the Joy Reid threads meeeting any of the above.

GD has gotten overwhelmed in the last day by all of this. It really is reminding me of how things operated during primary season in 2016. Which is why I keep hoping we get the GD: Elections forum going.
