Reply #111: There are a couple of ways to deal with those threads [View All]

Or any other threads that offend you.

1. Don't read them.

2. Don't post in them.

3. Alert on posts that are inflammatory or against the rules.

Your call to "ruthlessly root out the Southern-bashing disruptors" sounds disturbingly like George Bush's calls for a Christian jihad against the Terrorist Menace.

Not everyone here is always going to agree. Not everyone here is always going to be polite. I read things that offend me greatly all the time but that doesn't preclude the author's right to post them. If they do post something beyond the pale, I hit alert.

It's as simple as that.
