Reply #142: Ignore and Hide! Ignore and Hide!

[Political Tiger]

That's my new motto.

I never put anybody on ignore until recently, and I've done this because I've noticed that every time someone posts a thoughtful post about this Warren issue, within two minutes the same people show up attacking the poster, not the OP, but the poster, accusing them of telling gays to "STFU" although nobody said any such thing, or complaining that you'd feel different if you couldn't get married, blah, blah, blah...

There's only so many times you can say the same thing over and over and over before it loses all meaning.

They say if you're straight you're a homophobe/bigot, and if you're gay you're a house gay/self-loathing gay.

If you say you don't approve of the Warren but don't feel it is the biggest issue of the century suddenly you are an Obama apologist and/or Obama is your Messiah.

Again, there's only so many times you can say the same thing over and over and over before it loses all meaning.

So, if I see someone saying this shit that we've heard a hundred thousand times already, I put them on ignore.

If I see a thread that is being flamed by these people I hide the thread.

It's unfortunate this has to be done, but the flamers have no intention of letting up or engaging is any type of civil discussion whatsoever. They are all about attacking. They've formed this mob mentality that not only makes them and the gay community look bad, but is also backfiring by turning people off to the gay community and the issues that effect us.
