Good point Livingston.

I'll take your advice and ignore your nonsense too.

Thanks.

that's the problem with ignoring someone. how do you know if they know you're ignoring them? so then you have to go over to them and say -- "hey! I'm ignoring you!"

Plus,

If you're at the point where you feel you need to tell someone you're ignoring them, chances are you'll continue to read what they're saying.

That's just human nature.

Now, in the case of someone such as a youngster like Livingston who brings nothing to the table, chances are what he's saying WILL be ignored, since that's usually been the case anyway.

I mean does anyone really read his nonsense?

Or, you could just post the word "boring" all the time.

Did you know that it was Straw that broke the camel's back.

I'd tell you more but this is a family channel.

Straws are morons

The "problem" may be unsolvable.

Earlier today on another thread:

Not funny

A couple of weeks ago, however:

Still not funny

Yeah, I noticed that, too. We're talking about a poster whose very identity is rooted in being rude and offensive. Hypocrisy is just one of the lesser of his faults.

It's textbook trolling. The hypocricy is part of the game, and is usually intentional and designed to get people fuming.

You guys are becoming part of the problem...

Do you not see? Strawberry is the nail salon of MOL! If we simply stop patronizing him by responding in ANY way to his idiocy, he'll lose interest and go away. Or come back as somebody else, maybe. In any case, trolls are lowlives and don't deserve the attention of savvy posters.

-s.

BTW: Just let market forces do their work, and Strawberry (seedy on the outside, but mush on the inside) will dry up and fall away...

There's a huge difference in sharing a joke that Jews have used for years to describe anti-Jewish attitudes and what Livingston said. HAIL BUSH is disguisting, insenstive and frankly stupid.

It's time we send him the way of Matthew..Off MOL.

if we booted all the people who post stuff that's "frankly stupid" it would get pretty lonely around here.

No, Straw, the only difference is that you were not the poster of the remark in question.

Remember when you said I didn't care about the victims of the Holocaust? What, then, would have been the appropriate action toward you at that time?

Hypocrite.

I'm glad to have RL's contributions to the board.

Thanks, Notehead.

This is interesting. The London Mayor (Ken Livingstone, oddly enough) made racist comments akin to Strawberry's, and now he's being investigated and London might lose the Olympics.

He was one of the apostles. I heard that Matthew and Jeb Bush got into it at one of Straw's soiree's for the rich, famous and dead. Matthew accused the whole Bush family of being lying heartless bastards and Straw banned him.

I assume he means Matthew Alden, CHS '06 if I remember correctly. He posted for a couple of months following an accusation that he and a group of friends vandalised Bush campaign signs on lawns. He answered the accusations on MOL, and posted occassionally in the Politics section.

EDIT: and I have no idea why he stopped posting. For that matter, neither does Straw.
