STOP FEEDING THE BEAST!
There is one particular person who is starting to become quite an annoyance lately. It's typical troll behavior and/or point seeking. I believe it's all very right wing political statements at this point.
My suggestion is to stop feeding the beast. We can choose to buy into the crap and get angry or ignore it and hope they go away.
Who is with me ?
I noticed a few comments by one particular member. I don't see him saying much lately. He had responded to a comment I made. When I logged in later, I didn't have to respond to his moronic comments, others had already done that.

                                        "Don't feed the troll," I decided this morning. I reported one of his posts and blocked him.
There is not point in writing rational replies to his hateful posts against Democrats. It gets me worked up.

                                        Yeah, I was kinda wondering why they were out and smearing shit all over the main comm. No more replying for me, even if it's amusing watching them gang up on me, clearly thinking that makes their lil dickies bigger. ?

                                        I tend to use the block button for folks who want to bait conversations & indulge in trollish behavior. Cleans up the feed nicely too as you don't have to wade through fuckery & bufoonery to get to something good.

                                        On the other hand, if you all quit replying seriously, As If he has an actual point, and instead treat him like a fractuous child, and laugh at him, he will go away on his own soon enough.

                                        @Akfishlady maybe . If he is a member of the conservative athiest he will be doing it for trolls .
I think some of his posts are already down!

                                        Is it the person you replied to earlier? Wearing pink? I need to block him...he is an arrogant tw_t!
@thinktwice Yes. The one about the Mueller investigation is already down.
@Marionville You can tell just by his opening remarks that he only intends to be an ass...thanks...I will block him now...I have no patience for such arrogance.
@thinktwice doesnt seem to be a member anymore
How do you block people?

                                        Click on the profile. Look to the right of your screen. Where it shows when the person joined this site, there is a button right there that says block. If you were on the app on a phone, scroll past all of their comments and you will see the button.
Yes, I’m on board. I have already posted that I won’t be responding to anything of his.

                                        Agreed. He is just trying to stir up hate and division with his right-wing posts against Democrats.
"Don't feed the troll," I decided this morning. I will not reply to his posts again.
I blocked his sorry ass so I don't have to see his hateful posts (and get worked up writing a clear, lucid rebuttal).
