I now use the "Report this" function regardless of whether the post was from a moderator, Council Member, or Joe Nokia his own dang self.

I put what my response would have been in the provided text box and hit submit... It may be just the placebo effect but it at least gives me the satisfaction of responding without subjecting the entire membership to my half of the crap that a threaded response would produce.


I know that is hard to do sometimes, particularly when the offending post ends with what appears to be an insult or raises questions about your motivation, level of intelligence, sanity, or legitimate parentage…

What is most frustrating is when the post also avoids a direct question or sends a productive thread into the dumper and by doing so avoids the original topic all together.

...and that's the rub.
If the offending post goes unchecked it remains in the threaded conversation like an un-flushed turd in a toilet bowl. Turds tend to stink up a place IMHO.

@all… bon week-end
