Some site have an "Ignore Poster" feature where you can opt out of seeing posts from certain users. That would solve so many things here, IMO.

Brilliant idea! That way you can ignore who you want and it would take the moderators out of the equation and they can stick to monitoring people misbehaving against the TOS of the site .. not offending the 1 or 2 or 300 people that are offended by the offending offender. 

I don't need a button, I do that on my own anyway.

 

But that does not keep them from commenting on your posts or being obnoxious in a thread you are posting in ... etc.  Blocking them would make them invisible and you invisible to them!  Just like on the Facebook!  It's a really lovely feature! 

It is just not that big a deal to me.  There are a few people that matter beyond that most just don't amount to a hill of beans in my book.  That is not to say I discount them as people but I discount them as people important to my life.  Those that do matter I can have a discussion with if any issues come up.  Others it does not matter what I say they have their view of things/me and I have mine.  If, for some reason, I start getting all worked up I shut it off and do something else. 

I also don't know how that would work with the quotes feature.

That's awesome!

You forgot to add the LOLs and the smiley!!  Laughing

I took particular offense to this....

"Really? Nick "I guess I have to say it. I'm not going to be the Alabama coach." Saban makes you proud? That guy makes my skin crawl."

That snarkiness, divisiveness and negativity....gets me too Smile

 

I tend to agree with tuwood.  Even though I've only been here a few years, I think part of the issue is just a sign of the times and the polarity of the issues, being an election year, etc.  I enjoy some of the discussion, because it allows other views that I may not typically find in other places, especially since there are folks from all over the country on BT, and outside the US.

I can't comment on TAN, as I don't spend much time there.  Maybe I should.  Three page discussions about eating sound interesting...

Did it take you to long find that, or do you have it book marked?

Here's my point on the whole thing; I can be very opinionated and a bit snarky, but when I voiced my opinion that Nick Saban makes my skin crawl, it was my opinion about him. I did NOT take a direct and personal shot at those who like him. I did not make a blanket statement that I insisted was the only way to see things and then belittle and bully anyone who disagreed with me. I did not state that anyone else was wrong for their opinion or suggest that their argument that he was not a creep had no validity That's what I see as the difference in COJ of late.

Of course you also have those who whine about everything and make it a point to look for ways to be offended by what other people have said.

**Note: This is not directed at you MrSWP!

 

I'm offended by this statement

Wow, guys. Let's be adults here. If you don't like someone just ignore him/her. This whole "wahwah I don't want to see that user" is kinda child-ish.
