Ignorance, boorish behaviour, I mean, wow. Otherwise, it's damn boring listening to a lecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify what I'm saying, I really don't want to know what's going on. In my only comment, I was speaking in general. As far as specifics are concerned, I'm just pleading ignorance and I'd like to keep it that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Ok, the work week has started and my heart is troubled by the actions of SOME of the humans I interact with. This has reminded me of another quote that bears mention: "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get a copy of this book: http://www.schmuckinmyoffice.com/ It will help you to deal more effectively with the human interactions....

oldtimer Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Diz, this is a very profound thread you started. The philosophical conundrum with your proposal is simply this: If we are to ignore or otherwise not respond to posts comprised of ignorance, then the only posts remaining would all consist solely of ignorance.

BigStewMan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Oliver Crangle, a dealer in petulance and poison. He’s rather arbitrarily chosen four o’clock as his personal Gotterdammerung, and we are about to watch the metamorphosis of a twisted fanatic, poisoned by the gangrene of prejudice, to the status of an avenging angel, upright and omniscient, dedicated and fearsome. Whatever your clocks say, it’s four o’clock, and wherever you are it happens to be the Twilight Zone. Don’t worry at four o’clock all the evil people will become two-foot tall and won’t be able to reach their keyboards anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cute but flawed. I'll assume you were being your clever self. You know nothing would prevent new posts. Nothing prevents replies, even to ignorant posts -- you can read this can't you -- if the posts do not personally insult or attack the other poster. I care not what profound hate any forum member harbors in his/her heart for me or any other forum member, just don't parade it publicly in front of everyone else. I care not to hear the details of the perceived transgressions that a poster feels justify boorish immature retorts. Reserve some time at a gym, put on the gloves and duke it out, but keep it private. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
