It’s amusing watching someone insulting people dozens of times accusing someone else of posting in anger.

One of the things that drew me to alexander_busek was his breadth of knowledge, interest and logical conversation on different topics.

It does not appear to me, as you seem to imply, that he is singularly focused on Russia-Ukraine as many posters are.

The annual presidential election year ZOT thread?

For some, it is beginning to look like that. Which is not, if people read, what is generally wanted. What we want is an end to the insults, name-calling, and bullying. That is poisonous. Be polite and respectful of fellow Freepers and embrace the give and take of good discussion where opinions vary respectfully.

Being incisive doesn’t equate with being inciteful, though the former often leads to the latter...

[Jamestown1630]

You’re the ‘freak’ who started it.

[JoSixChip]

You confuse being able to block someone so you don't see them, and censoring someone from the public (everyone can't see them). This thread is about blocking, not censoring.

Boy, just when I think you couldn't be any more witty; You go and out do yourself!

[daniel1212]

I didn't suggest banning anybody. I just want to block the people I consider morons from my feed.

Yes, you are correct on this. "Exclude" from your feed would be accurately expressing your complaint.

A "like" feature would also be nice, but that is one of the very few improvements I can suggest for FR, while suggested features are far outweighed by those I do not want changed, which makes FR superior to other news aggregators and forums.

On a desktop, I myself have no real issue with scrolling down and quickly giving a cursory read to articles and comments, and ignoring those which are not worth consideration.

However, I have An exhortation to those who post thread (normally post as much of the meat of the article as allowed, describe videos, etc.)

“ FR needs a block feature. I’m tired of coming to FR to get the news only to find zeepers and ho supporters dominating the bandwidth.”

So you want no discussion , just affirmation of what you think?

[JoSixChip]

What we want

WE??? It's incredible to see you standing virtually by yourself, after having been completely smacked down in this thread by no less then JR himself, and claim to talk for anyone but yourself. I've never seen anything like it, it's mind boggling!

[Fury]

Thanks for posting those examples.

[JoSixChip]

You’re the ‘freak’ who started it.M

Started what exactly?? You said I made a demand, when, what where?

[DiogenesLamp]

Did you know he can play the piano with his penis? No BS, look it up.

I've heard he was a comedian, and also a European. (They are a lot more indulgent about raunchy sex stuff.)

No doubt this claim is true.

[JoSixChip]

So you want no discussion , just affirmation of what you think?

No, I seek isolation from morons.

[Gene Eric]

lol... appreciate the exhibit. Now I understand JoSixChip’s request for a peace-of-mind feature.

[joe fonebone]

And I would block the blogpimps

[Openurmind]

And I am making the point that the thread went from the topic of personal blocking to everyone wanting to have the admins suppress or delete each others speech. So many calling for the control, suppression, and censorship of each other is disgusting. It is no different than leftist political correctness.

As for your request it doesn’t work in a forum platform like this, been there. It ends up completely destroying the continuity and context of the threads. In no time they end up making no sense at all. While you might get your personal satisfaction it creates hardships for everyone else on the board and is a negative detriment to the domain and site overall.

We are too quick to think of just ourselves and not consider the general welfare of the domain and site as a whole. When all you have to do is be self responsible and disregard those you don’t agree with. Why make everyone pay?

[Fuzz]

You could self isolate in a cave and still not get your wish.

What’s a zeeper?

A zeeper is what you use to fasten the front of your peents.
