oh jeez, we just went through this with her in the Politics tribe

and now she's doing it in Tribe Brainstorm.

And then I beat Anne. Also your fault, Fifi.

not sure why that's so strange

i've found the most problematic people on Tribe to be "real"
and not alts/trolls.

If Yuni has seen her IRL, I'm scared I may run into her. There are a few people on tribe I know live close to me that I do not want to see.

Like how we enjoy the warm gratification of having an anti- Eh tribe out there.

wow - it seems that yall definitely need to do some "venting" regarding sunshine and/or alex...

i dont really know either of them that well (tho i have sunshine as an e-friend here), but apparently they must do something that ticks yall off a lot. since i dont frequent the tribes listed so far (and honestly do not have an interest in wandering into a flame-fest), ill just have to take yalls word about the newage... tis a shame since evangelizing of any sort (newage, eh, xtian, muslim, mormon, jehovah, whatever...) is kinda annoying.

[egads, if someone decides to riff off my choice-of-religions... puhlease... it was just random, not some attempt to instigate, ok? jeez. my goal is to point out that EVERY evangelizing is annoying, whether your-choice of religion is in-this-list or not...]

in such a case, i guess it would indeed be useful to have a "killfile" type of function.

theres the old expression that "when youve only got a hammer, everything looks like a nail" which i originally would apply - to using an ignore/killfile approach. but the corollary expression also applies - namely "if all youve got are wrenches and you want to pound in a nail, a hammer would be kinda handy".

seriously, while tools are useful and all - theres an element of self-sufficiency that can be expected in life. i just cannot (now) decide which way i would "vote" for a killfile function. i guess i would vote FOR it (better to have a tool and not use it, than to _not have_ a tool and need it) even tho im not sure i "like" the way that the tool might be used...

at the risk of fanning-a-flame, i could make the analogy that a killfile function is like a nuclear bomb. it is not the bombs fault that it eradicates xxxxxx, but rather the way that it is "used" by people. or, to be a little lighter - it is not the handguns' fault, it is the fault of the murderer who uses it to kill... or even lighter - it is not the hammers' fault...

carrying the analogy to an extreme... while a hammer (or other more-destructive tool) is useful for its primary purpose (of pounding in nails), there is always the side-effects that occur (like black-thumbnails from mis-aligned poundings)... hmmm...

just some random "food for thought" to hopefully get yall to realize that "bashing" on sunshine here inside eh - is basically a zero-sum process. of course, if it makes yall feel-better to vent, thats cool. ill now try to ignore this thread - altho i must admit a morbid-curiosity to keep-looking at it... lol.
