Confederate Flag IGNORANCE

Thanks to me, Nico has finally gone red and his account is now restricted. We should celebrate in this thread and give Nico a farewell. :smt006

 

A big FUCK YOU to Nico.

 

If it`s not racist then what is it? Southern pride?

 

That is what idiots like Nico say. Thank the good Lord he is GONE

 

Is Nico actually gone or just on restricted posting status? Looks like he was at the least browsing if not posting here last night.

 

Like I've said once before I don't put anyone on ignore no matter how ignorant they are. I like knowing just how ignorant and assed out some people can be, especially when they like to pretend they don't know why everyone is "attacking" them.

 

Preferably what I do (given your advice) is to not put them on ignore, but ignore their responses. The best way of taking the trolls down is to not respond to them, report their offensive posts, and reduce their rep points. It seems to work pretty well. I call it the "IR approach".

 

Right. That's the best way to handle it. Although, just like putting people on ignore I don't neg rep anyone either. It's just me, but I figure that if someone is that assed out and offensive to me, because it takes a lot to phase me, then other people definitely have to be offended and will neg rep the hell out of said individual.

 

I actually thought that some of his posts were funny, like this one:

I've seen enough negativity in my lifetime that it doesn't phase me anymore. I more or less expect it and I've gotten to the point where I can just navigate through it and lessen it's effects when every I encounter anything negative. It just fascinates me when people chose to willfully be ignorant or negative for shits and giggles. It says a lot about them as a person that they go that route for whatever reasons. Makes no damn sense to me.

 

Yeah. That seems to be the appeal of coming on the internet for a lot of people. Being uncivil and pissing and shitting on people because they are faceless entities, making them not real and therefore they don't have to worry about the consequences of what they say or do towards others, like getting a possible beat down if it were real world circumstances. And if the people you shit on take offense why of course the default defense is "It's the internet stupid! This is what you do here!!" :smt011

 

oo is that jethro gone for good then?

 

U talkin bout Nico?

 

yup

 

Not yet,he's almost gone though. He needs a few more negs reps,I gave him 1 yesterday.

Tasty and someone else, plz give him enough so he can go.

 

Bosoxlady,I remember years ago at a St.Patrick's day stand a Confederate flag with the colors or Ireland and on the back The Ulster Union flag! Hope to e-mail it to you soon.
