“Do not post to me” - Repost

[Admin Moderator]

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this.

1. It's impossible for us to enforce.
2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.
3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.
4. Thick skin helps.
5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply.

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would not.

Technically, just *one* doing it is ~more~ than enough.....===8^O

You can burn my house
You can cut my hair
You can make me wrestle naked
With a grizzly bear

You can poison my cat
Baby I don’t care
But if you talk in the movies
I’ll kill you right there

It’s the little things
It’s just the little things
Aw it’s the little things
It’s just the little things
Yeah it’s the little things
That drive me wild

I’m like a mad dog
I’m on a short leash
I’m on a tight rope
Hanging by a thread

I’m on some thin ice
You push me too far
Welcome to my nightmare
No more Mr. Nice Guy

ROFL

All right, now you've done it. I wuz keeping it pent up inside but I have to say it now. It's about...no, not importunate cultural Nazis laying guilt trips on everyone because it gives them control of the discourse. Nosirree, nor is it about the sanctimonious Greenies who ride bikes screaming "I'm not stopping traffic, I AM traffic" and then they veer onto the sidewalk to where I suppose they think they're the pedestrians they're running over too, no, not them either. Not the smiling politicians who vomit vague inanities like they're received truth, no, those guys run right off my back. What gets to me, what pushes me over that last little gravelly edge into the cliff fall of insanity is the miserbobble sumbitch who I politely thank for doing something for me that it's his job to do anyway, like filling my water glass in a restaurant or topping off my magazine when the zombies are swarming, and what does he say? What does that stupid, supercilious traitor to everything that is right about politesse say to me to totally ruin the occasion, huh? What does he say, huh? Huh?

"No problem."

Well of COURSE it isn't a problem, you brachycephalic cretin! A PROBLEM? Hell NO it isn't a problem, it's your gotdang JOB, you moron! Problem? Problem? AHHHHHHH!!!

I mean, a simple "you're welcome" would have served the purposes of discourse perfectly well, easing the social transaction into the arena of adulthood with the unstated but vital structure of mutual respect and a sense of boundary. But no, it has to be "No problem." You want a problem, punk? HUH? YOU WANT A PROBLEM??!? I'LL GIVE YOU A PROBLEM!!!" And in truth no one on the grand jury would blame me for ventilating that miserable specimen's torso with eighteen new belly buttons. Well, they didn't, anyway. The judge said never to let it happen again except if it was in a Starbucks where he figgered it was understandable anyway.

No problem, huh, you bastidges? I gotcher problem RIGHT HERE!

Oh, and as long as I'm venting I don't like service stations that charge you for air either. I mean what the hell, AIR?

I wish you lived next door to me.....:)

Definitely bookmarking this thread!

One of the best humor threads in a good while!

Thanks :^)

I had two brothers. The one who is now in a better life used to say “No problem” all the time.

Make no mistake, he was fully aware of the non-subtleties you have pointed out about the phrase. He used it to emphasize the fact that whatever he was doing for the other person ~was~ a problem. Usually a damn big problem.

But for some reason, that brachycephalic cretin seemed to think he was entitled to some service that was a gross imposition at best and utterly rude at worst.

“No problem” actually meant (to my brother) “You’re a colossal pain in the ass, but I’m going to be the better man about this and pretend to make a civil response.”

Now ..... I’m not saying that the folks you’re running into are quite that convoluted in their reasoning, nor that you would ever so much as border on being “a problem” to someone serving you.

I use the phrase myself sometimes .......

Admin just sent me a PM. He said to pass it on to you - "No Problem!"

OK but I have a serious question. What if someone is calling you ugly names like a.. hole and other nasty stuff, can I report them for that? Sometimes it seems like we are turning into DU.
