I believe some of us see life as far beyond one issue, and I dont suspect it matters much to have a reason as to why someone would vote the way they do. It is not the worst thing in the world to have some awareness of whats going on around the neighborhood.

That doesn't work. That only prevents you from seeing the original garbage the trolls post. In many threads you still end up reading pages of trash that end up being in the posts of others who responded to the trolls or were victims of the trolls. As often happens, the original thread becomes useless.


Without an overwhelming adoption of ignore of a select group of negative miscreants of right and left along with a pledge to give no reply to the posts that entire group it would fail.

If six or so repetitive miscreants were chosen through acclaim of their lack of Adherence to the boards rules and spirit it would be good, however like Chantry I doubt any likelihood of success, we have only paused the nastiness.

Mike,
"We" did not pause anything. Dave did. Whether it works or not depends on what he does in about 2 weeks.

He got a lot of support, thanks, and some cash for his recent actions. A few more of those kinds of actions and he may have the problem corrected. Showing that he means it with respect to the rules will solve the problem, as it does on other boards.

If that happens, and we reward him with cash donations, things could be much better going forward. Only time will tell, but I choose to be optimistic.

When it comes to cleaning up this board and draining our swamp, Maxwell Smart would tell Dave, "Missed it by that much".
