JR did not address the increasing complaints of chit chat, photo size, or off topic distractions. He did not address the encouragements of all the above, or the exorbitant number of head patting, back patting, thank yous and LOLs accompanying all of it. Nor the passive-aggressive remarks, always couched in courtesy and saccharine, instructions to scroll on by, while the distracters did not.
Fatima gives an example: Scroll on by, defending the indecipherable, and banging away at what the owner has already made clear. Bringing We get it, fatima. We must comply with the owner. This is his living room.
The thread must defer to those named by the owner. No bullying. Expect that to be made clear upon their return.
Chat and food and life histories and prayer links and kidney stones and lengthy bird business is A - OK. We dare not complain.
Quit baiting for trouble.
(Not you cherry.)
True... But we can widen our definition of trolls and treat disrupters likewise. We can refuse to respond to them and their ideas, comments, back pats and taunts. We can let their posts die on the vine, unexamined and unimportant.
True, there will be two unrelated conversations going on, but those who are serious about Q will endure. Perhaps the estrogen-drenched will grow weary of being shunned and talking only in their own wind tunnel, and take their well-patted backs and heads, and over-emphasized mundane thoughts elsewhere.
It’s not being a bully to refuse to engage with the manipulative. Beware the anger and endurance of the patient man.
Now back to Q. What do we think of Wray?
