Is it safe yet?

[here_is_to_hope]

The list, the 'ignore' list...can I dump it and start reading some of my favorite DU'ers again?
Or do I keep those who I felt were over the top in their divisiveness caged a while longer?

With only two days to go in GD:P, I would hate to miss all of the flame outs...

[skyounkin]

1. Reading MadFloridians thread-

I woulds say no sadly.......

[cbayer]

2. It all depends on your perspective.

There are 2-3 remaining Obama haters and around 15 remaining Clinton haters still posting.

[PM7nj]

7. That isn't that bad considering...

Obama supporters outnumber Clinton supporters 9 to 1. :shrug:

[cbayer]

9. I would like to see the divisiveness from both sides extinguished.

The mods are doing an excellent job at starting this process, but there will still be some for the next few days.

[PM7nj]

21. Me too. nt

[yourguide]

11. I suggest you reverse those numbers.

[cbayer]

15. Oh, no.

I have a list and I'm checking it twice. I'm pretty sure I am right about who's naughty or nice. But we will see.

[yourguide]

16. Is that why I still have to keep fending off attacks on the presumptive nominee?

[cbayer]

18. There have been a few and I readily admit that.

But they are coming from a very small number of posters.

On the other hand, for reasons that completely escape me, there are still about 15 hardcore Clinton haters spewing garbage around here and another 10 or so that chime in but in a less caustic fashion.

This first group (the Obama haters) are angry and unable to deal with losing this. They are easily ignored and are really harmless at this point.

The second group (the Clinton haters) appear to have as their goal continuing the divisiveness on this board. They are much more harmful.

You can agree or not, but I think the major change on this board in the coming days will be the ratcheting down or elimination of this second group. I, for one, will be very happy about that.

[yourguide]

19. How about this...

I think we can both agree that we are looking forward to June 11th :)


Deal?

[cbayer]

22. Deal!

We shall celebrate.

[yourguide]

24. I think so too.

I think it will be a lot less stressful around here.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

25. Can you PM the list?

_:hide:_
:sarcasm:

[cbayer]

28. Nope.

Don't be afraid RUM. I have no sway around here. I'm just doing it for my own entertainment.

:evilgrin:

[TexasObserver]

3. No, unless you're ready to see the same dozen posters make the same arguments.

They're still here, still whining about the nomination process, still playing the victim, still doing what they've been doing, albeit toned down a little.

But, yes, do take them off ignore, and see for yourself.

[RoseMead]

4. Safe is overrated. lol n/t

[DAGDA56]

5. It may be...I am seeing more and more names I haven't seen in a

very long time...most with 1000+ posts. People are emerging, if cautiously.

[2008]

6. No. Come back two days

[JuniperLea]

8. NO!

My experience today is that "ignored" is doing a lot of fighting with the rest of us.

[bridgit]

10. Let's ask the doctor...

I don't use ignore myself, but I see that some have me on, then off, back on, back off, on/off, on/off, on/off, etc...I'm beginning to question the foundation upon which they conduct their affairs & effects as being some factor less than stable :(

[rox63]

12. I think you should go for it

I emptied out my ignore list right after the IN and NC primaries. For a few days after, I was sorely tempted to start it back up again. But since I knew that Obama was a lock to win the nomination, I decided to sit back and enjoy the more outrageous posts for their entertainment value. Since then, some of the worst offenders have been TS'd. There are very few lunatics left. So go ahead, let it go. You'll be fine.

[Richard Steele]

13. No. nm

[DevonRex]

14. It is if you keep it in mind that the majority of disruptive posts come

from a very few people.

I cleared out my ignore list and have been very pleasantly surprised at how positive most people are now.

Let's unite and go forward from here.

[high density]

17. Not yet...

In fact I had to add one more person yesterday.

[2rth2pwr]

20. Please leave me on your ignore list, thanks.

[Eurobabe]

23. I think it is better than it was

even a few days ago. But then again, I still have a few chronically grumpy posters on ignore, they may remain on there, indefinitely.

[PoliticalAmazon]

26. Best to continue hiding behind a wall for a bit. n/t

[4themind]

27. I'd just log out and read

that way you can see everything but if/when one of the troglodytes get out of hand, you can put up the shield again.
