Maybe I'm HarbingerO and this thread is a cry for help. ; ) Rofl @ jem's "de-Ricter" with definition!
I've been putting up with Ricter's dumb ass since 2004. He's a drunk a liar and a troll with no interest in the site's main theme, hence he does not really belong here. That said, even I don't see adequate reason for banning him.
I agree as well. besides who else is there to argue with, futurecunts!? might as well just smash your head against a sharp corner, repeatedly. I don't think anyone should use ignore, but i laugh a bit when i see ON IGNORE!!!
It would be an enhanced message board, and pretty transparently so at that. A user could leave their setting at the default or play with it by changing it up or down... At the default setting new users wouldn't be subject to all the stupidity/insanity from the worst of the worst, say the worst 2 percentile or something like that. They could change their settings to see what it is like but they would be spared a lot of stuff that is insulting to their sensibilities/intellects. Maybe more would stick around. An example is: you're throwing a party, you want people to have a great time. Some derelict comes in, smells like he krapped his pants, and not even today.. insults half the people and lies to the other half. Do you accomodate him ever so hospitably or do you escort him to the back yard and let him entertain the dogs?
Ricter might be a no-good hypocritical bourgeoisie 1-percenter posing as a communist but he has been here for years and he is *our* no-good hypocritical bourgeoisie 1-percenter posing as a communist. Who the fuck are you?
That's funny and heartwarming but... let's argue politics and religion, please. Mods, delete this thread!
We all have a loser uncle in family or something, but that doesn't mean I want to read his loser spin all day long. I can't just ignore him, other members quote his BS all the time in order to respond to his spin. See the problem ?
I don't expect you Ricter to have any feelings regarding internet forums. But have you considered that just like *in here*, outside in real life most people consider you to be a loser as well. Do some self reflecting unless its too late and you are so far gone your life will be empty till it ends, just like your ET posts.
