Don't know about everybody else, but my computer already has an IGNORE program built in. It's called a POWER ON OFF SWITCH. Properly programmed, it will filter out ALL offending comments. | ||

The only thing I'd like to say is this: Why would you WANT to use the ignore list, unless it is to get rid of a troll like FerrariKing or Gary Green? I mean, as far as I can tell, life would be REALLY REALLY boring if all I heard were opinions that I agreed with. But, I guess there are those people that want to be surrounded only by people who agree with them. I think that's sad, but, honestly, what the hell do I care? | ||

Amir has stated that, in effect, he wouldn't name names again, given hindsight. Would any of the other participants in this lively exchange make any changes to what they stated? Do any parties feel individually or collectively that they deserve an apology or, conversely, have an apology to offer for any statements made? Does anybody else have anything to get off their chest? Should I be garroted for asking these silly questions? | ||

Would I write the post but not mention the names I would put on my ignore list? Hmmm, good question, you're no fun, you're making me think! I shouldn't have named names, I guess, but the premise of the thread was, Who would you put on your ignore list? Kinda hard to answer that without naming names. Perhaps, "What kind of people/topics would you choose to ignore" would have been more PC? Everything else, I probably wouldn't change. There have already been numerous vows from one member to another, promising to put them on the Ignore list as soon as the feature becomes available. This was no different. So, apart from naming individuals, I wouldn't pose the question any differently--it wasn't really a new concept. Maybe this thread brought us face to face with it for the first time, but it's been lurking for a while. | ||

Rob, can you can this thread please? Yet another for flames and shames. Come on guys. This is bad as we are all semi-regular veterans. This thread isn't one that was brought on by a newbie. IMO, can this thread, and we can start one on whatever sub-topic in another thread if it makes whoever wants it happy. I'll be happy to join in if we don't make it into a flame fest. Argument is good, but there is no place for personal attacks. "A shame on both your houses." Shame on he for starting and shame on the others for feeding it. Now who started, and who feed it isn't important, just stop here, and start over with a little professional courtesy on both sides. | ||

Ralph; I answered your Exports-aside-from-oil-question on the other thread. Nevertherless, I'll do it again, this time - with some different food for thought. If you missed the other thread, check it out - you'll find info on Suleiman (Suleyman) the Magnificent. http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ Select a country Once your selection is up -\ Scroll @ halfway down to Economy It's thorough, up-to-date & though it doesn't cover the history of the various factions, trade routes and so forth. Oil is a fairly new commodity. Somehow the ancestors of present-day Arabs survived, don'tcha think? Most importantly, these are ancient lands with highly evolved civilizations, whose inhabitants came up with the earliest forms of advanced this, that, the other and cultural yadayadayada... Here's a few more links: http://www.google.com http://www.hyperdictionary.com http://localhost.ee/pop.swf _______ Amir; The choice to *name names* from the outset was unnecessary. Obviously, it brought out the lowest common denominator (Alpha-male chest-thumping) from many, including yourself. Though the damage is done, to that end, I have a question: Were you to pose the question again, would you do so in the exact same manner, or would you do it differently? Either way - why? | ||

Amir you must learn patience. We do practice patience in the USA. This is not like a market ( shouk ) where people yell and scream over purchasing spices or a lambs head when 30 people are waiting in line. I see you have NOTHING to add to my request which I "patiently" waited for. It was a simple request that I "thought" even you should not have trouble with. About reading a book: I have read a few books that are non-fiction. Do yourself and everone else here a favor and stop reading the Pali Sci Fi history books you cherish. | ||

Ralphie, for the 800th time, it's off topic for this thread. I guess you don't understand the fact that I don't fall for your baiting. If you are truly curious, look it up. The info is readily available online. Why should I do it for you? I assure you, there's a ton of products besides oil. But even if it was just oil, what point of yours would that reinforce? That Arabs are good for nothing and only got lucky with oil and as far as you're concerned they should just be killed off? Perhaps a reference or two to Arabic names, tents, camels, sand, etc.? Don't hold back now. Oh, about writing a book. Don't worry, I never, ever mistook you for someone who has read a book. | ||

Do you want me to continue waiting over a few examples ???? You contributed on a lot of posts. I just thought you might be able to chime in on this one ? I did ask politely. About the scroll feature: I never mentioned who I was and was not going to skip over. Surely you are intelligent enough to remember reading that a few minutes ago ? I do not have the luxury and desire to read each and every post listed on F-Chat. Again you are an intelligent person and I just asked (patiently) for your knowledge on products produced by arab countries for export to the industrialized nations of the world. ~ BesiDES oil ??? If you have nothing to list of value, I will then have to attempt to look elsewhere. | ||

For some reason, I doubt that Amir isn't the only user here's who's going to put me on ignore. I sense that perhaps Art and Randall will, as well. Oh well. I dislike their views, but I'm man enough (re: I can pee without hitting the toilet seat) to be able to read their views and not let it get my panties in a twist. Is the ignore option a good idea? For those that cannot take the heat but want to stay in the kitchen, I beleive that it is. For the rest of us men, that take our beatings as well as we give them, it is a useless fixture.

Peter, point by point: Lets see if I have this right: you look to cleanse "socially undesirable" people from your version of this board, Umm, no. you don't have it right. I am not looking to do anything. I said that this ignore feature would allow one to do that. I will grant you that socially undesirable was a poor phrase to use. Let me see if I can put it better. There are some users whose posts I don't care to read. Not the users I am usually taking opposing stances with. I feel it's important (and a function of democracy) to be able to dissent, and I would like to see what they write and give my own take on it. If that bothers someone, they can certainly continue to listen to one side of the debate and put me on their ignore list. But the banal, inane posters that bother me at a different level, the telemarketing level--those I can very happily do without. Like the guy wanting to sell the Enzo a while back. After his first wheedling post, I didn't want to read anything else written by him. Or the person questioning the use of carfax. I ask you to define that phrase, you refuse I refused because there is no common definition and because, as I have said above, socially undesirable is not the right phrase for those that are put on people's ignore list. Perhaps annoying, boring and pointless. Does that work for you? The other reason I refused to do it is because the ignore feature would be for everyone to use as they see fit. Not according to my definitions, or Rob's definitions, or yours. and ask why I want to know, No, I have never asked you why you wanted to know. Don't care. I tell you, You tell me what, exactly? The answer to a question I didn't ask? And where have you told me why you want to know? I don't see it. you blurt out a baseless provocative statement about Israel, I call BS on it, Not baseless. It's just not the topic for this thread. and you then try to duck and dodge the discussion saying it is off subject, It is off subject. It's also a farily voluminous subject, so I am not sure I want to invest the time to discuss it in any other thread, with people whose biases are very evident. If I knew you in person, I would perhaps discuss it with you. Athough there's many, many people with whom I steer well clear of subjects like this, in person or online. and then try to make me seem like an ignoramus because you dont have the stones to back up your BS? Peter, this is beyond hypocritical. Not once have I called you anything. You on the other hand, have slung what labels at me? Let's see, at last count: tyrants and thugs and ethnic cleansers, cheap shot [artist], baseless provocative... Since you have ignored the request to take it offline, I will simply mention that when it comes to the Palestinian issue, in 1984, the count was at 6 million. Which is the same as the number of jews that were killed in the holocaust. Also, glad to see Moron-ello Dave (cartoon gimp) and Kosie(always angry) have jumped into the fray. Now, can we get back to the ignore feature? | ||

Peter Gozinya, no, I have no intention of defining socially undesirable for anyone. We all know what we like and what we don't like. If this ignore feature were to exist, users would have the choice of using it according to their own preferences to eliminate having to wade through some postings. They would also have the choice to not use it. Whatever. Very interesting reaction you had, though. When mentioning all those regimes, you left out one that I think deserves special, specific mention...the Israeli regime. To date, several million Palestinians have been killed in an ethnicide perpetrated by them. Exactly what are you so bent out of shape about? I know which users bother me or say interesting things...as I said, I wouldn't necessarily block them. I would simply use the block feature as a "junk mail filter." Again, for me, the best analogy is junk mail and unsolicited telemarketing phone calls. | ||

Amir posted: "Socially undesirable people -- online and in real life, are, by definition, undesirable. You have no desire to interact with them and want to avoid them. Yes, you can ignore them. But this is just technology running interferece for you, like a doctor's secretary not allowing annoying salespeople to even disturb the good doctor." Well, Amir, perhaps you should define "socially undesirable people" for us. I seem to recall that a certain German regime used this to murder tens of millions of people, as did a certain Soviet regime, a certain Cambodian regime, a certain Cuban regime, a certain Chinese regime, a certain Iraqi regime....shall I go on? Does "socially undesirable" mean anyone with whom you disagree? Or anyone who openly disagrees with you? Are you not secure enough in your self, and your manhood, to either turn the other cheek, or to simply not read the posts by folks you dont like?

It's like junk mail. You can deal with it, but you'd rather not. Unsolicited phone calls. Yes, you can hang up on them, but you'd rather that they didn't interrupt dinner to begin with, right? Socially undesirable people -- online and in real life, are, by definition, undesirable. You have no desire to interact with them and want to avoid them. Yes, you can ignore them. But this is just technology running interferece for you, like a doctor's secretary not allowing annoying salespeople to even disturb the good doctor. This allows you to do it without wasting time, just like a junk mail filter. You don't have to use it if you like things the way they are. Bruce is giving me second thoughts too. Now I am not so sure I would use it. Do I want to see all of F-Chat, ugly warts and all, or just a nice, sunny, little filtered version? But since it's an optional feature, I think it would be a good thing to have for those who want it. | ||

Let's not turn this into a user bashing thread. I think it should be private who you individually want to block. My guess is that even though everyone will have the ability, that very few will use it because even though we can't stand some users. We still like to watch the train wreck. I can block someone for all users, but I doubt I would do this. | ||

Which reminds me... Rob, other moderators: wouldn't a "group block" feature be better, where, if enough people register their dislike of a user, he is automatically blocked from posting--perhaps for a certain time, perhaps for ever. Kind of a democratic way of implementing the mod's boot? | ||

Junior Member Username: Amir Post Number: 201 Registered: 2-2003 |
OK, we have all been promised this feature, and in anticipation of it actually being implemented, perhaps we could who we intend to put on our ignore lists. Newbies (and oldies) can quickly learn who the troublemakers/bores/idiots/etc. on F-chat are. So post the persons/usernames you are looking forward to putting on your ignore list. For my part: Jefferey Wolfe (whack job wasting away in Margaritaville) Bickering Battery Bruce of Barnet Nebula Ass (neither smart nor funny, just pathetic) I won't be putting Kds on my ignore list. He at least presents his arguments in a reasonable manner, even if the point is unreasonable. Ralph Koslin, though he richly deserves it, will also stay off. I relish reading his every post that reveals his simmering hatred and bigotry against Arabs. Best thing is, he will probably be ignoring me, so he won't even know what I am saying about him. |
