48. BWWAHAAAHAAAAAAHAAAA!!!! That's what to call it!!

Oct 2015

I saw the snarky post title first, then I saw the poster's name. Then I saw a few keywords in the post and it became clear that I was going to ignore the post. Then I saw what you wrote here!

A good chunk of my DU experience is "analog ignore." I won't use the ignore function, because I feel like that is cheating somehow. I'm not part of an in-crowd, and I'm not a target of an in-crowd, so it's easy for me to fly under the radar. But now that you have given it a name, I realize that I "analog ignore" that poster and a number of the other "usual suspects."

so why not just vote for the socialist party candidate if you really feel that way JI7 Oct 2015 #1
Why would you think I would do that? Bonobo Oct 2015 #2
your the one who brought up the thing about whether a socialist can win and making it into something JI7 Oct 2015 #5
