How About We Boycott Shitslingers and Propagandists?
When we see a thread that is clearly dedicated purely to creating conflict, we hide it. When we see the same person repeatedly posting such threads, we throw him or her into the twitfilter, never again to see the light of day.

Once the local shitslingers and right wing propagandists see their threads sinking off the first page in a matter of seconds, they will either shape up or go elsewhere.

It's gotta be better than this nonstop hatred and anger and fear. There's an election to win this fall, after all.

1. "Twitfilter"! Love it. But we're gonna need a really BIG one
to hold all the twits who seem to have crawled out of the woodwork lately.

3. Actually, what sounds very Republican is confusing propaganda and shit with truth.
But thanks for playing!

5. If one sees iT and hears IT from the 'horse's mouth' then IT sure as hell.........
isn't confusing, nor propaganda or even shit, UNLESS YOU are in complete DENIAL. The pleasure has been ALL mine!

8. If something is not propaganda or shit, then why would one want to boycott it?
Are you ok? Seriously, I am concerned about you.

14. 'something' can be truth OR propaganda and shit.
Appreciate your concern, doing just fine, specially once I determine if I should boycott YOUR 'something'.

15. That's OK. Just thought you might be very drunk,
given your hostility and incoherence. I guess that's just your normal condition. Good to know that you're OK.

4. We'll need heavy-duty filters. The Obama people make up at least five bullshit accusations a day.

And then repeat them endlessly, as if they were true. In this way, a delusional reality is maintained.

10. I'm with you QC, I've got so many on Ignore right now, but I think I
may have to block gd:p. Why they feel the need to slime up an Obama celebration/appreciation thread, I can't figure it out, and vice versa.

11. I had a lot in the filter until a couple of nights ago, and then emptied it.
I just didn't feel good about using an ignore filter. Now I wish I had left matter alone--I had only about 25 names in there, but it made an enormous difference with the quality of the forum.

13. That would require boycotting the entire election process, start to finish
And isn't calling for a boycott of the elections a bannable offense around here?
