My Apologies to the Forum

I think it is important that we all have a capacity for both skepticism and optimism, and if you weren't skeptical of our offensive line after week 1 of preseason I don't know that you could have any capacity for skepticism.

I guess you totally missed the whole point. Not surprising.

I thought the point was to ignore them. Responding only puts gas on the fire. That "INGORE" option really does help with your sanity. (It doesn't block the quotes from others , but it sure helps with the troll bait.)

Let it go Guido. Let it go!

It is quite the psychological catharsis here… where grown men who lead (one would think) normal lives, get to follow a professional sports team, and get online to discuss how we feel about this aspect of the Entertainment Industry.

The Forum is primarily about SAINTS FOOTBALL, but the personalities of each Fan have trigger points that tap into deep childhood sh*t, that one would hope might get sorted elsewhere, but here we are, working through it on the internet, hopefully with some logic and compassion.

What really matters (here) is that THE SAINTS ARE WINNING.

So, as long as the multimillionaires that get paid to entertain us, are finding a way to get their job done right, we hundredaires and thousandaires can find a way to get along. We are all in this together. And THE SAINTS… ARE WINNING!

It doesn't actually work because even if you have someone on ignore, their posts come through on quoted replies like this one. You're going to see them anyway.

If the “IGNORE” function fails, there is always the “SCROLL” function, which requires only a slight swipe of the finger. Coupled with an eye roll (there’s even an emoji for that), it works wonders. 😉

That was my point. It's a filter, but not a block. It would be nice if you could block some of this noise.

If everyone was to ignore them then nobody would see them to respond. That would take a concerted effort however.

If you could take full control of the forum, it wouldn’t really be a forum, would it?

Forum: A forum is a place, situation, or group in which people exchange ideas and discuss issues, especially DISPARATE OR CONFLICTING VIEWS on important public issues. The strength of a Forum is determined by its ability to contain a wide range of diverse opinions, while maintaining civility and stability. The common goal of any Forum is to regard clarity over agreement, so that all perspectives can be considered.

My reply beginning with a question about what you are saying you gave in to was an express admission that I did not get the whole point.

I guess I missed that. I gave into his trolling. The guy only posts to get a response.
