Petty bickering is no fun to read.

I know a lot of people use the "ignore" function. I tried it for a bit on a couple o' dummies. I now no longer have anyone on ignore. It seemed wasted effort to sanitize or curate existence...a bit snowflake-y for my tastes.

I have a general rule to post no more than 3 posts per thread. It's not a bad rule.

No topic is *that* important.

Also if a thread already has more than 25 replies, anything of value has already been said. Further replies add no value. It's easy to just move on.

It's also easy to skip over the quoted blocks of text as two posters bicker over whose motivated reasoning & intentional miscomprehension reigns supreme. It's wasted hot air of little value & no content. It's best to skip to a new thread.

If ever you get the feeling that there is something you'd like to share, remember: The problem with teaching stupid people new things is they are still stupid...and now they think they know things!

This leads to the last of Base2's own personal gems of indisputable wisdom: Discretion is the better part of valor.

Enjoy your ride.
Catch you on the flip-side.
