This thread has been a hoot. Differing opinions and sensitivities for sure. Kinda like life, eh? I have a pretty thick skin and it takes a lot to offend me. No, that's not a challenge, folks!
I do find some posters to be generally tiresome, though. Snarky comments, unfunny quips, what have you. At best, they don't contribute anything of value to the thread - a waste of bandwidth to use an old phrase. At worst, they manage to derail a thread or aggravate people and send it into the weeds. So, it happens.
My way of dealing with it is the Ignore feature. That squelches most of the noise I don't want to listen to. Periodically, when I see a member's post is hidden, I'll log out and view the post as a non-member. Usually that hidden post turns out to be as expected. I didn't miss anything, my assessment of the poster still holds and I go back to ignoring them. Easy peasy!
Call me arrogant if you like. It won't hurt my feelings and you may be little bit right!
