6. You know what, why don't you just take your big-haired curlers-at-the-
grocery-store shopping cart unputting back welfare cheating out of control kids behavior bullshit attitude and stick it where the sun don't shine? I don't come here to sit through a bunch of self-absorbed self-righteous mamby-pamby set of "rules" about how I should or should not act, okay?

If there is a hell, it is for you, not for me, you oyster-raping banal dishrag-fetishist flatulent puss-worshiping kleptomaniac insane orca-breeding xenophonobic parasite.

33. Ah, I see. I thought for a moment you were
neglecting the feline and going for the bodily function. My apologies. Carry on with your ranting.

11. I did it once, during the World Series, just to see how many non-baseball
threads there were. If I remember correctly, there were eight on the first page.

When it's not available, I'm most displeased.

22. excellent advice
I've been doing that a lot. Sometimes it's just not worth getting all riled up.

I also hide all threads with the word "spider" in the subject.

23. I have found that ignoring folks eliminates the need to
post and/or hide the thread.

If they are on ignore, I don't even see the thread.

My blood pressure is so much lower.

:hi: :hug:

29. I am learning that same lesson. Just this morning in fact.
Been here for 4 years and just 3 weeks ago, I used the ignore feature for the first time.

And after I got into a fight over in GD this morning, mostly of my own doing, I am hiding a thread over there too.

It's not worth the headache. Nor the hour out of my life.

Sometimes it's so hard to walk away.

35. I would always post what I am thinking, but I self-edit to stay
out of trouble ...:hide:

I have not hidden a thread yet (or alerted anyone, or put anyone on ignore ..... but give me time, I may eventually do some of those things.... I promised myself I would TRY not to....)
