I was wondering if there is an Ignore feature in the forum software, and if so, could it be implemented?
Well, I havenāt discarded the possibility of implementing an ignore button. But in the case of trolls, they shouldnāt be ignored. They should be deleted, so nobody sees them.
Forget the trolls for a minute and lets tell Gords1001 about super glue. Iāve glued up two cuts that could have used stitches and have no scars from the experience. Misses took one kid to the urgent care with a splinter under the finger nail that I was forbidden to remove. Tweezers and 50 dollars later we left, she didnāt say a word the whole way back. I am allowed to do all the medical procedures I want on myself and a limited amount on the dogs but she has all say on the kids with the limited exception to splinters now.
I was pretty sure there was an ignoe button when I first started. Since I often ignore or muted some tinhat cult followers & thread hijackers.
Gees gords. Whats a guy say. You clumsy bugger, or its about time you had took responsibility over the household. Or did you feel like you had to fall down the steps as the poor sick Mrs gords wasn't paying Mr gords enough attention? No a guy doesn't say any off those things. He says yes were all lucky we have BLF when things aren't going right. Yep as others have said thanks sb and I hope the gords family is safely and sickness free soon and Mr gords can go back to work. All the best, cheers mate.
You should specify cyano acetate Mrs gords wouldnāt let me glue James together myself, she felt the NHS was a better bet.
I honestly donāt know how I slipped on the stairs, usually Iām like a cross between a ghost and a ninja :bigsmile: that night I was like a drunk baby elephant in a China shopā¦.
Thanks for the well wishes guys, and the very kind offer I recieved on pm, Iām still thinking on that. Mrs gords reports she is feeling better, and James and Luke stopped at their nans last night, so I got a reasonable nights sleep.
Arenāt trolls known to derail threads for their own ends? :bigsmile:
Hey Gords, as soon as it stops snowing, you should buy a lottery ticket. Your luck has got to change.
Back on topic, the solution to troll is just as SB says. Donāt feed them. As an alternative, you should read my threads and feed my ego by lying about how interesting you find them. After that, youāll want to take strong drink and a nap to forget the pain. Problem solved. Troll shrivels and the Duck gets a nice fat liver. Fois Gras anyone?
You can still be served, just not sold in california (if i understand the law correctly)
That suggestion puts me in stitches! The kit for mates packs a bottle of Bundy (rum) or Stoli (vodka) and a stick to chomp on! My fav case of grog saving the day is this :

I really wish I knew how to stitch, I cut myself all the time. And itās ALWAYS on a knuckle! So superglue or liquid bandaid doesnāt work well in those situations, and they just kind of look wierd.
Sintro, just a quick one as not all wounds suit stitches. They serve 2 basic purposes : 1)Reduce scars. 2)Close a wound to promote healing and discourage infection. #1 is for areas where scars would be prominent and would is deep enough to see yellow fatty tissue under the skin (subcutaneous tissue). #2 is for lacerations, punctures, and incisions. But avulsions that still have a flap of skin attached may also be stitchable. Complete avulsions and abrasions are not suitable, but still need a doctorās attention if serious enough.To know whether stitches are needed, look at 3 things: 1)Depth of wound enough to see the subcutaneous tissue? 2)Width enough for wound to be pulled closed easily? But if wound is gaping and canāt be easily pinched closed, t may still need stitches to hold it closed long enough to heal correctly. 3)Location of wounds on body areas that stretch/move a lot will need stitches more often than those on areas that do not move as much. Eg. forearm wound will not move as much as a calf wound, so it would not really need stitching. There are wounds/victims that need a doc: 1)Diabetic victims. 2)Animal /human bites (open wounds). 3)Dirt that canāt come out of the wound. 4)Canāt close the edges of the wound. 5) Uncontrolled bleeding to call 911. Final question is duration since last tetanus shot as itās not effective after 5 years. If so pls see a doc to get wound analysed bf stitching. Ultimately, if in doubt, docs know best!
First, Full Disclosure: I like all you people, even the ones āyou peopleā donāt like. I have made it Quite Clear that āfree speechā is one of those āprinciplesā to which I adhere quite diligently, even if that free speech āoffendsā me.
BUT!!
This is turning out to be TOO FUNNY to ignore:
Iām sure many here donāt explore the Internet as much as some of us do, so please try to understandā¦
In the context of THIS THREAD, Gords1001 just deftly, adroitly trolled the lot of you. Us, now.
Good onya, Gords!!!
(Remember: if Hitlerās words had been widely available, itās likely the honorable people of Germany would never have followed him into WWII. Those who start by burning books (banning words), will end by burning (banning) MEN.)
BUT itās not my chat room, so I follow the rules. Unless this post violates the rules. Looks like itās āDouble Secret Probationā time for Dimbo!
But I MUST ASK YOU ALL: Why is it so hard to just scroll down to the next post? (I mean BESIDES the monstrous āquoteā blocks and giant ā250+%ā pictures, which are worse than trolls IMNERHO) Those of us who have been āonlineā since before the WWWeb seem to have less of a problem with that, than newly-logged-on people who seem to think thereās some kind of ārealityā here. Just sayinā. Hoping this wonāt get me banned.
:party:
Edit: +1 for an [Ignore] button! Can we get some ā[Ignore {Post || User || Thread}]ā kind of logic if itās not too much to ask?
0:) I have to say it was entirely unintended, I only realised after the fact. Sorry 0:)
Often a reply leads to a next post.
I like it all .You live and die on your word ..only you are responsible for the stupid thing you said or did I say leave it all up and let the chips fall where they may .I like the no moderation of blf so yeah I'm spoiled and any moderation beyond that which we oppose upon ourselves feels like too much.
I'm not sure i ever really have gotten a grasp on what a troll really is.Seems it can always be tossed out at almost anyone ..
Where's my bridge ?
+1
troll....
There are trolls, and guys with sticks. It takes both to send a thread off the deep end. SB is right, donāt be either. To me a troll is someone who intentionally posts something inflammatory in order to get a reaction and then uses that response as a springboard for further comments. The subject matter is almost immaterial as it is the attention and strife that they crave. Just being irritating should not be enough to qualify one as a troll. It is the repeated disagreement, not allowing other points of view,ā why is everyone picking on meā attitude that sends up the red flag for me.
good point
-intentionally posts something inflammatory in order to get a reaction.
-The subject matter is almost immaterial as it is the attention and strife that they crave.
anyone wanna buy a bridge ?
Wanna to buy some Arizona beach front property?
It's cheap!
Itās cheap because of Kelly Marie Dreller aka Greta.
