I, for one,don't understand the logic of these zot threads...you yank 'em, yet the original can still be viewed, albeit with two mor mouse clicks..so, we still give the distruptor that which he craves...attention, as well as the perverse pleasure that he/she/it derives from knowing that he has irked some of us.....so, I for one, say just make the whole thing disappear......

You party pooper. You're no fun.

Oh they die out quickly enough. Besides; they're kinda fun.

We have tried it both ways. We have just pulled it, and we have done this. It seems neither approach has any impact on the habits of the troll. (I feel like I am talking about a particularly uninteresting varmint on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom)

However, what we did have was some of our foes using the pulls to claim that the moderators were censoring material that Freepers would want. You know the types. Having this stuff a click or two away where people can see what it is if they are curious defuses their attempts.

And those people who enjoy just goofing on a thread have a place to do so without it getting in the way of more serious discussion on other threads.

That's my logic, anyway. Thanks, AM

I agree with you. It will continue until it is ended. However some may not see the rantings of the left so close and personal so maybe its benificial in that regard.
