Didja know...Secretariat was a local boy? Caroline County. Not sure if I had heard that before. You'd almost expect your grand highfalutin equestrians to hail from Fucqueer or Middleburg or therabouts, whereas you'd expect the best in show from the Jackass group to come from Caroline. |

Maybe the post was intended for Bob, as was mentioned in the subject line. As such, he's going to know what I was talking about whereas you used your powers of deduction for something worthwhile, for a change. See what I did there?

I figured something intended for a specific party would go on the messages feature of this board, and something intended for common perusal would go here. Anyway, I remembered the account in the Sunday paper anyway, so I figured I could probably go out in the car and rescue the paper even if I hadn't found it on the net. |

Can you put someone on ignore here? Allah be praised, yes! IIRC, you go to their profile and choose to block them, then you get some options on what gets blocked. Then you don't have to see their paranoid ramblings (or whatever flavor their ramblings are) anymore. |

Can you put someone on ignore here? Go to 'your profile', click on 'edit profile' and then click the privacy box. It's at the bottom. |

Putting someone on ignore is kind of a bitch move, though. I can see putting a spammer on ignore (no, I don't need your little blue pills, thank you very much), but idiots are too much fun to not argue with.

Bitch move it may well be, but sometimes there are cases when someone is so annoying to me that I'd rather not even see their posts. Hell, I drink with people who I've gotten up and moved so I didn't have to hear their bullshit anymore.
But not to worry.. you'll quote them anyway!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Or you could've just asked........ I don't have you on ignore here..... yet.<G> I responded in a way to point out that the information was missing. My thinking at the time was that simply asking would be a little rude, and also possibly that the information had been left off intentionally. If intentional, I didn't want to get a "GFY" and if not intentional, I figured that the information would be shortly provided. It wasn't. So, I searched and provided it for others that might want to attend 1 or more of these events. You're welcome, BTW. |

Can you put someone on ignore here? Do anyone but liberals put people on ignore? I know I don't, other than once for a short time when TB / GB became so personally insulting I didn't want to hear it any more. That was 5 or 6 years ago, tho. But I don't think even the wildest-assed liberal lies can make me want to ignore anyone. Instead, I just want to try to set the record straight. Somebody comes along and posts the "Gun show loophole" lie that CNN was broadcasting all over the world last week and which I posted about here, I want to know about it, and provide counter-information. With some, they just ignore it and whistle in the dark - anything that doesn't square with their global warming religion is obviously propagated by the forces of evil (energy companies) so they don't even have to look it up, even when its someone like Freeman Dyson, the most brilliant physicist on the planet at the moment. I "own" several yahoogroups, and nobody has to ignore anything on my groups. I have one major rule, and that is that anyone that is saying things that diminish the enjoyment of my group by any other member gets a good talking to, and if they do it again, they get locked out for a while. Only have had to do it a couple times in 16 years of my oldest group, but everybody is now back and behaving. Folks tend to pick on one guy who does have a particularly annoying personality, but not a mean bone in his body, and occasionally I'll say something to someone about being mean to him. Other than that... not a problem. Y'know, maybe its not really me... I have a couple hundred users of my road rally yahoogroup... just sayin... |
