How many "hand shake" threads have you hidden this morning?

[pampango]

I'm up to 11 now and they just keep on coming. I am trying hard not to put the posters on "ignore", as they may have useful insights on other topics. But it is a challenge. ;)

1. Pretty pathetic

They can't talk about issues.

2. I think I've hidden more than a dozen, but they keep popping up. STOP IT!!

[pampango]

5. I'm up to 18 now, but I have to be careful.

It's turning into kind of a hobby and distracting me from reading and commenting on real threads that have issues and serious discussion.

3. This one makes 16.

4. I try not to use ignore as well, but after one poster started 5 separate

"handshake" threads, I figured ignore was more efficient.

[pampango]

8. You're probably right about that. Maybe put the poster on "ignore" then

go back in a day or two, take them off, and see if their posts have gotten more relevant.

6. None. I never hide threads or put people on ignore.

I can take it.

7. Why not start a thread so we can ask...

9. I Have Not Hidden As Many Threads About The Handshake As I Have Threads About The Handshake Threads

:hi:

[pampango]

11. I hadn't looked at it that way. Thanks for the heads up.

I shouldn't be contributing to the problem.

(What about a thread about threads about handshake threads? Or is that getting too deep?) :)

[meegbear]

10. Including this one?

[pampango]

12. See #11. The irony is not lost on me.

;(

13. including this one, 5,425,978.

14. 42...and now 43

15. Many, how pathetic that HRC's people have to play "Miss Cleo" by interpreting NON-verbal behavior

in a manner that PSEUDO-substantiates their personal and political prejudices. That's just fucking sad. We deal with VERBAL BEHAVIOR in order to determine "veracity" in Social Science. Yes, non-verbal behavior adds input and can help *confirm* our thesis but it is NOT a sound science .

I have no doubt that many of HRC supporters are behaving in a disingenuous manner. What's sad is that I believe many HRC supporters KNOW that all they are spewing is "conjecture" but they don't give a shit. Why? Because, to them, WINNING IS THE ONLY THING WORTHWHILE ... no matter how low you sink, only WINNING matters to The Clintons and their supporters. :(

Good luck in uniting OUR PARTY if all these smears serve your purpose. :nuke:

18. Getting a lot of mileage out of the "Miss Cleo" references?

It isn't half as clever as you think it is, FYI.

The only disingenuous behavior seen here is in the Obama camp. They used to be all about change and hope and being above Washington politics, and now their candidate just pulled a move that he was presumably above.

And "uniting" ? I sure as hell will vote for Obama in the general election if he wins the nomination. No ands, ifs, or buts. Do you have the maturity to say the same about Clinton? :shrug:

[Adelante]

16. I've hidden over a dozen nt

[bunnies]

17. 13 and counting. Blows my mind. nt

[City Lights]

19. Haven't taken the time to count.

:hi:

I'm just glad traffic here has died down so the function is available again. :-)

[spotbird]

20. Thank you!

I felt a compulsion to answer them, I forgot all about the ignore function.

I'll even ignore the one I started.
