In reply to the discussion: Poll ~ Group Input ~ Please [View all]hlthe2b
(106,706 posts)51. There are a handful of posters I just refuse to engage with.. While I don't use ignore, I DO tell
them that I will not be engaging them and why. I just have had it with some whose behavior/attitude never changes from a highly disingenuous or unnecessarily antagonistic pattern. If they are among those who tend to come in as a "group" and those "pals" come in to attack me I do the same with them. I have to think this might nip some of this crap in the bud, but time will tell.
I just hate that some have been able to promote the impression (among the uninitiated or more casual DUers) that HOF is THE problem. I'd like to find some way to defeat this tactic that deflects against the blatant misogyny by painting HOF and its members in a negative light and as THE problem.
