WWMD: Options?

[spindrift]

Sit down with a nice glass of wine & smirk because you know you are smarter, better looking, more confident & most likely ski many, many more days a year than the dimwit(s) in question.

And you are unlikely to be banned

I have no idea what this is about.

me neither.

Just noticed one of the threads is gone, and all the players have been banned. Very thankful for the moderators for doing this.

TGR is a lot of things and a lot of people. Yes, we like to dish on jongs, we fight about politics, and we all know that nsfw means hot asian midget porn - not hot twink guys. But we don't put up withthe crap that was posted today.

Racism has no place on these boards. I still hope the moderators tell us who the asshat allias were so we can ignore them to.

...although people have observed (for 30 years now) that "if everyone just ignores user X, he will go away," the logic of collective action makes that outcome almost impossible to orchestrate- it only takes a couple of people rising to the bait to trigger a flame war, and the larger the group, the more difficult it is to enforce the discipline required of all members.

Comrades, we cannot allow these outrages to continue. We must institute government controls upon the content of the internet. We must define equality in every environment, and ensure that it enacted, forcibly if necessary. Remember, Comrades, we must bring about Change, we must strike down this evil Capitalist government which allows these outrages come to pass. We must control all forms of the media to ensure equality, and this includes the internet.

done & done

thanks bklyn

Again and again...

Thanks! That was easy.

Why do n00bs have their shit together more than vets around here?

Five bucks says pechelman agrees with Lenin.

You sir, are no Comrade of mine, and that much is certain. How can you spread such deplorably hateful racist thoughts? We should condemn you to some kind of environment where you cannot associate with enlightened and educated members, such as myself. Unfortunately, I no longer control Siberia.

Consider yourself fortunate that you can temporarily escape my wrath.

Where's the "Shoot the hostage" option?

It is a tough call. An occasional offhand insensitive remark can be ignored.

But when an alias and responds to your post with racisit hate and ad hominem attacks, I can only imagine the pain that can cause.
It means you can no longer engage in normal threads and conversation here. I would find it hard not to fight back and to not respond, but that also fuels the fire.

Ideally, I would like to think that these fucktwats could be banned.

I wish we had more NBS folks on here, but given how things are, I doubt that will happen.
