an ignore button is just as ridiculous as other's censorship on here

this is a so called "public" forum just like anything public, people can say what they want. if you dont like someone or find what they say is offensive then skip over their posts. unless you are outright being targeted or threatened with violence etc etc then its just another form of censorship.

people need to get over themselves. the world is not here to agree with everything you say or stand for.

I don't think it's such a ridiculous thing, and it is not censorship--if it's censorship, it is censorship done by each user only for themselves.

I'm skeptical if such option will be provided, so it may be a moot point. But if there is such option, my experience of browsing this forum would be much more pleasant.

I can think of at least 3 people I would completely ignore. I won't care then what kind of garbage they write.

People should be able to filter out any other user's postings if they find his or her comments offensive. I'm not saying ban these people...although I won't care if they do get banned. But I'm saying I should be able to have some control over the contents that I choose to be exposed to.

I think asking for a ignore button is bit childish. If you don't like what someone has to say, skip over them, no one is requiring you respond to them.

But reading between posts, it comes in my sight, and it's unpleasant to know people who have such racist views are posting here. I don't mind them exercising their freedom of speech, but I have no interest in learning their views. So Ignore button is perfect.

Ignore button would be GREAT!
I don't want to see racist remarks from a few users, and only a few people here who post racist remarks.

I only brought it up because someone else mentioned that scratching cars is his thing.

I hope he can recover soon.

Yes, our Mini Cooper got scratched by him a few years ago. Also on one of the really cold early mornings last winter, my wife found him sleeping in the entrance hall of our building. (She let him continue to sleep there as it was just too cold for anyone to be outside.) I remember talking to him on Barrow street in 2011 when we were surveying the condo unit, which we ended up in buying. He smashes liqueur bottles on the street to pieces--not sure how often he does this. Last year, I briefly saw him with a new jacket, and I thought he had moved to a different part of town.

Were the scratches XXX by any chance? I had this happen and have been thinking it was him ever since I asked him not to smash his wine jugs on the sidewalk.

The scratch on our Mini is about a 3 inch long straight line. We just put touch-up paint and moved on.

Re: Christie Falling (and you don't want to be below when he does)

Christie sinks in New Jersey, soars in New Hampshire:

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-sh ... soars-new-hampshire#break

"Keep in mind, as recently as September, a WBUR poll showed the governor in eighth place, with just 2% support. His position is vastly improved, bolstered by his near-constant presence in the state and an endorsement from the Union-Leader newspaper.

What?s more, this isn?t the only poll pointing in this direction: the latest results from PPP and CNN/WMUR surveys also show Christie gaining strength in New Hampshire.

And while this probably makes the first Republican primary more interesting ? note that a mere six percentage points separate Christie, Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Kasich, and Carson in today?s results ? it?s fair to say Christie?s rise in the Granite State represents more bad news for the Republican establishment. After all, party insiders are more interested in seeing Trump lose, not seeing the mainstream anti-Trump vote split in more directions.

If Trump were facing one or two principal rivals, he might very well be struggling in New Hampshire. But with Christie moving up, and six Trump rivals auditioning for the role of anti-Trump, Republican officials are left once again to smack their foreheads in disgust, despairing at their misfortune."

Really? I can't support any Republican candidate--even the ones that are considered moderate.

John Kasich is no ?moderate?

?We will not be silent?: American Jews hit the streets during Hanukkah to fight Islamophobia and racism

http://www.salon.com/2015/12/10/we_wi ... ter&utm_medium=socialflow

We will not be silent about anti-Muslim and racist hate speech and hate crimes;

We condemn state surveillance of the Muslim, Arab, and South Asian communities;

We challenge, through our words and actions, institutionalized racism and state-sanctioned anti-Black violence;

We protest the use of Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism to justify Israel?s repressive policies against Palestinians;
We fight anti-Muslim profiling and racial profiling in all its forms;

We call for an end to racist policing #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter;

We stand against U.S. policies driven by the ?war on terror? that demonize Islam and devalue, target, and kill Muslims; and

We welcome Syrian refugees and stand strong for immigrants? rights and refugee rights.

Donald Trump Is An A**hole, Philly Mayor Says:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/t ... 00000016§ion=politics

The mayor compared Trump to Hitler.

"This is the same tactic and strategy [as Hitler]," he said of Trump. "Find an enemy, convince people they're the enemy, blame every problem on them and then try to get rid of them. Donald Trump is literally trying to radicalize our fellow Americans against our American Muslim and international Muslim brothers and sisters."

Why British Parliament Will Debate Banning Donald Trump From The U.K.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/b ... id=tweetlnkushpmg00000067

"...Labour Party lawmaker Jack Dromey warned that the "dangerous fool" should not come "within 1,000 miles of our shores." The Muslim Council of Britain echoed the call and recommended that Parliament apply the same standards to Trump as they would to others who "espouse hatred." Sarah Wollaston, a Member of Parliament for the ruling Conservative Party, recommended a "serious discussion." Labor MP Tulip Siddiq, a Muslim, said, "If you're not going to welcome people like me into your country, then we don't want to welcome you."

?Security Moms? Redux: Get Ready for a Fear-Based GOP Strategy in 2016

"In any demagogic competition involving tough talk, can anyone ever match Donald Trump, the man who just yesterday blithely called for killing the wives and children of terrorists? Probably not. And giving Trump a new issue to dominate would be a truly fearsome gamble for the GOP."

?Republican voters are most sharply divided by education. Among those GOP voters who hold college degrees, the race is a close contest between the top four contenders, with Cruz slightly in front at 22%, Carson and Rubio tied at 19% and Trump at 18%. Among those without college degrees, Trump holds a runaway lead: 46% support the businessman, compared with 12% for Cruz, 11% for Carson and just 8% for Rubio.?

Majority of Republican voters are pathetic in my view.

Donald Trump and the lowest common denominator?

http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog ... lowest-common-denominator

?The unimaginable could become a reality if the Republican Party doesn't wake up and realize that this person would not only embarrass the party, but everyone of us who is proud to be an American. I do not have to list all the divisive, ugly utterances that have come from his mouth. Trump is far worse than a mere demagogue; he is dangerous. His view of politics is not just to divide, but to stigmatize and exclude entire segments of the population.?
