Ignoring Member Comments (Sift Talk Post)

schmawy says...

Just to advocate for Dag and Lucky for a second, I'm sure as the site continues to grow it might become a management burden. I'm imagining a sudden influx of youtube users causing someone to spend all day weeding out the pointless, hateful comments. As for threats, Twiddles is right. There's plenty of precedent in real life for how this is dealt with.

Unfortunately I'll have no way of knowing because I have Lucky's comments blocked, as he suggested. I see him in the thread but I'm ignoring him. Not bad, but if I continue to participate in this thread, I won't know his viewpoint.

But I don't think that's what this is. This is about someone being aggravated by someone else's viewpoints or language. I've found some of the most valued discussions are the ones that made me uncomfortable. I don't want people to be able to turn other people off. If they do, I want to know that they have. If you want a little ear plug icon next to their username, tell me the size and file type I'll make one.

I come from bar culture. I spend a lot of time in bars. The roles people play are very similar to an internet forum. If someone is too loud or offensive, you have two options. Leave or challenge their viewpoint. If it's threats and real abuse, 86 'em. For a while.

Perhaps this should only apply to profile comments. I have a feeling that some pitbull members can be a little too aggressive in getting their point across, and wrongfully consider it their duty to change other's minds. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, Don Quixote.

Blaming the Media coverage for Vietnam Loss

qbert says...

I heard a CSpan interview with Nixon dated around the same time, in which he insisted the war was a great idea and not at all a waste of human life. In his autobiography, I believe it was, Nixon argued that America had "won the war" but "lost the peace"--which seems to demonstrate his own confusion, about the possibility of "winning" a pointless contest of mass-killing.

The dominoes never fell. Vietnam went right to war with its ancient enemy China, shortly after the departure of the Quixotic, merciless Americans. And now right-wing scum celebrate the Cambodian Genocide as a gift to vile revisionism, ad infinitum. George W used it not so long ago, in contending that the USA never should have left Vietnam--you can guess what argument he was making with that pretzel logic.

I like the idea of developers seriously considering more Linux support, but the idea seems quixotically romantic at best, unfortunately.

The main reason I hold back is the non-desire to create a new partition for it, and the fact that there doesn't currently feel like there's a "Killer App" kind of reason prompting me to check it out. Unlike, say World in Conflict, which you want to load and play now just because it's so much fun. Psychonauts fun.

My tone on the phone is clearly not begging, though. I'm like, yes, many dead computer components. Many replacements. How's the weather in Mumbai? Cool cool, ciao.
