What a bunch of guys .. and I almost didn't click on. Glad I did to find out I had so many friends. Good ones at that.
I had one on my ignore list for about 5 months. But the box appears still when he/they post and I know him well enough to imagine well what the attacking words would be. And in away the ignore function is even worse than reality because most all the time I think the worst of what was really said as the rude dudes frequently have polite and constructive things to say. It says (for those that have never had any "ignore" experience) so and so is on your ignore list and therefore this post has been eliminated .. not in those words. And then the next poster quotes the ignored. Sure the ignore function does some good but it dosn't solve the problem. I personally think the mods should establish a rude dude/gentlemanly dude red line and excommunicate those that cross onto the rude dude side. If I was going into a bar I'd expect the bouncer to do it for me. On the streets the police lock up the unacceptable s. But on TF it's a free for all. I'm quite to verry fond of all those that I know that are mods too. And I know they're trying hard to do well. But I don't think I should have to put up w the rude dudes.
Thanks guys for all the supporting words (and what's behind them) and as a result I can't possibly leave ... at least w/o more egg on my face.
