Is there a way to ignore every post a person makes?

I'm serious. If there's a way to make one persons posts invisible, I'd love to see it.

I translate from my german profile, therefor it would be not the exact wording

Profile - Friends and Ignored
On the lower you can search/enter for the person you want to ignore

Thank you very much. Hopefully the forum will be much more bearable now.

I'm pretty new on here but I sussed out out right away who you might be referring to. As a lesser mortal I quite like to read his pearls of wisdom.

The attitude and rudeness, especially to nice people who don't deserve it like I do (jd for example) enrages me.

I don't come here for aggravation. I prefer to visit for useful information from nice people.

Hopefully it will be the last time I will ever read "Apparently you are not very experienced rider..."

Funny thing is, he might never notice he is being ignored...

Gary cute avatar, better you than me. I'll keep my points.

What the heck did I do now???????????

Me too Meldrew. Not the new bit but the 'sussing' bit!!!!

Good/Bad, all makes for a more rounded viewpoint.

You have to have variation, if you don't like an individuals viewpoint - don't read his posts.

If the posts are there, I'm tempted to read them, then I feel the desire to leave a snarky comment, and things go from bad to worse.

This way it just says "there's a post in this spot from that guy you have on ignore" and I can just pretend nothing happened. I would actually have to click through to see his post, and then I have nobody to blame but myself.

DuggleBogey,

I have it set up so everyone has to see all of my annoying posts ...

Very interesting topic. There are certain political commentators on the radio that I refuse to listen to for much the same reasons suggested above. (they are just plain rude, small-minded blowhards) But while none of us have control over what others say or do, we can and should take responsibility for how we react or behave in response, so perhaps we all could learn a little something from this...

If someone I have on ignore ever becomes a site admin, then I'm in real trouble.

This is also very educational, I've learned a new word today ... snarky!

Same here. Never heard or read "sussed out" before. But it's very descriptive.

It is sure good to have you educated fellows on here. I am enjoying ALL the new words myself. Now if I could just remember to use them around the little woman of the house.

Gary, I figger the little woman sussed you out a fer piece ago and she ain't gonna put up with no snarky jawing. You gonna have that three wheeler on the road by springtime? :flower: :flower:

You have never been sussed until my little lady susseses you...

Bob has "promised" me ... (are you reading this BOB?) that it will be shipped this week. SO, yes, I should have it by spring... just not sure which spring.

I am still being patient. Today would have been a great day to ride, but it is the first decent day we have had in several weeks. Been raining, snowing, freezing. It was yucky this morning. But sun came out mid morning and it is still out. I think it is suppose to be nice all week now. Lows in mid to upper 30s. Highs in upper 40s or low 50s. (all temps F)

I agree, I like to hear what he has to say, just take it with a grain of salt

Comet is not a toilet cleanser here in the UK, it's a chain of electrical goods stores. Plopp is a popular candy bar in Sweden!

Somehow it is not easy for me to associate plopp with a candy bar. I could on the other hand associate it with a toilet. I have sussed that the individual being unheeded is from US... I would never join in with anyone ignoring one of our UK brothers.... maybe Australia ???

I don't know that Comet is still used here... I haven't cleaned my toilet in years and years...

OMG, I hope that Plopp isn't Sweden's version of a Baby Ruth candy bar.

Comet, It makes your teeth turn green.
Comet, It tastes like gasoline.
Comet, It makes you vomit,
So have some Comet, and vomit, toda-a-ay.

My new favorite words is "sarchasm".
It refers to the chasm of wit between the person making the sarcastic remark, and the person who doesn't get it.

Now it will take days to get that song of my head! I remember the "Comet, It makes you vomit," verse, but couldn't remember the rest. Sung to the melody of the "Bridge on the River Kwai" song, as I recall from long ago.

Sarchasm... that's priceless. I like it!

That little dittie was printed in Mad Magazine. It is no wonder that you have such a twisted sense of humor... (I like it)

Hey Kurt, Those are some nasty names for products!
I sure hope that Haggis tastes better than it looks. I think my dog would be suspicious.

Has anyone else noted, JG seems to have taken this thread to heart?

Jon:
I'm not so sure about that. Take a look at a recent comment that was made on the other Silverwing site regarding a mid-winter bike rally in Florida.

So ShitBegone isn't a lake in Minnesota made famous by author Garrison Keiller!

OK.

Did you also notice the comments there by RamblinRedhead and me?

But, the really good thing has been, he has been no part of this thread. Of, course no one has said any thing about trailers or otherwise not riding to a rally site.

Jon:
I did see your comments and those made by Ramblinredhead too. I liked how Ramblin put it "Ride your own ride". It is nice to hear that you and Ramblin' appreciate people who just try to accept and get along with other people. It seems that some people have never learned that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that their opinion is every bit a valid to them as your own opinion is to yourself. Just because it is different doesn't mean that it is wrong. If that works better for them - then fine. There is no need to get snarky (love that word) with someone just because they have a different opinion.

Meldrew... those sound like three girls I dated in high school...

Sorry... I don't seem to be able to do that quoting thing right. Someone PM me on how to do it.

"ShitBegone" a prayer of you know who for the TN restrooms... of course, it is one of mine two or three times EVERY day.

Geeze Gazza, dont come the raw prawn

If any of you want a good insight into the Oz idiom, get a hold of the book
"They're a weird mob" by Nino Cullotta.
Its a total cracker!

There was a Movie of the same name which was along the lines of the book, very funny but not as good as the book.

I've got to take care with the lingo as I have offended the odd Yank or two. You probably dont want the "Wombat" joke.
I ended up with a new "nom de' plume" from some meowderator in NY.

Bigbird,
I anticipated such comments. Read my sig.
I think avatars should be a pleasure to look at.

I totally agree...which is why Gary (Opalsboy) changed his avatar.

Well, if that's the new avatar criteria, let me just say that I'm going to leave mine alone... as I get to my "advanced" years it's "a pleasure" to look and see that I'm still around.

As for Gary... you really should put your clothes back on.

Good to know that you are still the "King" of custom!

Hey Dan... I know you are jealous now... meet my new celebrity crush.... BTW ...she asked why did you stop calling. I told her you had a new friend... she cried....

Dick.... I am looking for a new wardrobe as we speak... thanks for the reminder.

I'm glad I could help you. Tears make a great lubricant.

But what if my opinion is snarky? Aren't I entitled to it?

I hate to disagree, but I'm tired of people using "everyone's entitled to their opinion" and "I'm just telling it like it is" as an excuse for being a rude jerk.

There's no excuse. Just don't be a jerk!

Well, Duggle,
I'm not going to tell you how you should act. Everyone has their own choice in that. But you have to understand how acting like that makes you appear to others... and if you are ok with that, then go for it. lt doesn't affect me.
