I'm assuming that in this case the "political" comments and Denver's response were made facetiously, but there are those moments when something really does raise your blood pressure to an unhealthy level and that is when the IGNORE button becomes your friend.

I have only applied it to about half a dozen posters over the years, most of them because of their tendency to post OT and obnoxious (to me) political comments, but it has made my time on BF a lot more pleasant.
I've been happy to see that most of these folks are no longer posting, at least on subforums where I go.

Granted that I've been provoked into the occasional political comment myself, later regretted, once the discussion has been bent in that direction, so there may have been some folks who put me on their ignore list too. Fine -- and generally better to ignore than to flame, especially when so little is riding on any of our comments.

Anyway, nice try, Denver.
