The USSR never died. It just took a nap.

“The constant onslaught of propaganda from the same 5 people is ruining FR. FR desperately needs a block feature.”

Last year someone had a list of all the propagandists and it was a lot longer than just five people. Plus it included Russians, Chinese, deep staters, etc.

Lots of people with agendas here these days.

“FR desperately needs a block feature.”

Ah, you believe in censoring things you don’t approve of. But, what you don’t like, others may. Instead of censoring something you don’t like, just don’t read it. Your blood-pressure will thank you.

Time to finish the job President Reagan started.

Uhhh yeah I believe in censoring things for ME that I don’t approve of. I didn’t say anything about bans, I mentioned a block/hide feature to customize user experience. Your logic is very flawed.

You said: “FR desperately needs a block feature.”

That could block the thread; thus, depriving others of reading it. That, son, is censorship.

Then, you said this: “I didn’t say anything about bans.”

I didn’t say you did. I said you would censor; I said nothing about bans. But you resort to the time-honored defaults of people who are losing an argument: You jump to conclusions and introduce strawmen.

Dude.. are you dense? It blocks it for the ONE user. Everyone else still sees it. Most sites have the feature.

The constant onslaught of propaganda from the same 5 people is ruining FR. FR desperately needs a block feature.

It does stink up the forum and unfortunately has driven some good FReepers away.

I don’t have a problem with them expressing their views, but the overwhelmingly excessive nature of their posts makes it appear as if they want to take the site over. There are times throughout the day where my news feed is about 75% Ukraine propaganda.

I used to be against it, but I’ve gotten to where I’d welcome a block feature.

Or, as I and others have suggested before, maybe limit them to a thread a day where they can post all of their links. There can be a daily thread for pro-Ukraine propaganda and one for pro-Russia propaganda. This was done with the Q articles and it seems to be working.

This way, they can still post and discuss their topics and we get our forum back, to some extent, anyway.

Blocks can also be applied to a thread. If just one reader doesn’t want to see it a post or a thread, that one reader can just ignore it.

Got it, son?

Listen here and listen good you stupid old man… you’re embarrassing yourself with your stupidity. Hide and block features mean the user customizes the threads he/she sees. Has no impact on other users. Now bugger off, clown.

Angry much?

You need to take a chill pill, son.

If anyone is embarrassing himself, it is you.

Is being unhinged your normal condition? Or, is it seasonal? Perhaps winter gets you down?

Lol you’re funny. You got called out for your ignorance and now you’re projecting… You sound like a democrat or a queer… You’re probably both.

“Lol you’re funny. You got called out for your ignorance and now you’re projecting.”

Nice try, son.

I’ve said this about very few people on FR, but you have shown you are a member of the club in good standing: You are one of those rare people of whom it can be said, “Whenever you speak, something is subtracted from the sum total of human knowledge.” In other words, you are a sum negative (i.e., less than a zero) upon the human experience.

That’s why I find you so entertaining: It’s like watching a primitive cartoon try to fit in with CGI. It can’t; it would only subtract from the whole. Like you.

Such a tragic way to spend your final years of life.. speaking gibberish and going back and forth with someone on the internet who’s half your age and you’ll never meet. Pathetic…and both of your parents would be disappointed how their boy turned out and wrapped things up at the end. Go hug your grandkids while you still can.

Ah, I see the English language is a struggle for you, as you see it as gibberish. And clearly logic and reason are just as illusive to you.

You are entertaining, though. I’ll give you that.

They learned from the last mobilization that you have to close the border first, then send out the draft notices :)

~~~

😂😂😂😂. THIS one is too good to pass up. It’s ‘elusive’ you 🤡. Our exchange from top to bottom is absolutely gold… I’m about to make you famous on Reddit!

I was right: The English language is a struggle for you. Look up the definition of “illusive,” son. You will find: illusory; non-existent; make-believe; fictitious; mythical; unreal; fanciful.

Get it, son?
