Dealie, That was excellent! Thanks for posting that. I saved it. I've been thinking over the Ignore Button idea and I'm not sure it would work because the same people who find Bonnie to be a pest would probably not have the ability to resist taking her off ignore just so they could see what she was saying. Even if she behaves, eventually she or someone else will piss everyone off again. I don't want to hear "I told you so". Therefore if everyone wants to change it to a moderated thread, so be it. I'll follow. I guess the Moderated thread is the way to go. (Eventhough most of the moderated threads I've followed are hallow versions of the original...) Perhaps the Porch can be the exception. I've pleaded with everyone to try my method of helping her instead or hurting her. Hurting her will just send her on her way to hurt others. But, many feel that is not our problem. It's quite clear that I'm in the minority here. I've received numerous PM's telling me to give it up... She's not worth it... Dealie and Volty don't want to give her any more chances... She wore out her welcome... Why should we help her... She's like this every where she goes... The list goes on and on how helping her will not change her. However, one thing I want to note: I have not seen one post from Bonnie that indicates that my posts have been incorrect. She has not denied anything that I have written. In fact I received a short PM from her that I interpret as her saying thanks, or that she appreciates it. For this reason, I can't believe that it wouldn't work. Some of the people who really need help are the ones you hate. Help them and they can help others. But, if none of you think it's worth a try, then I won't continue fighting it. It's only a message board. I probably won't ever translate to anything that effects the real world. Perhaps my outlook on this whole matter is too naive or utopian. I was hoping there would be more dreamers here. I don't want to be a pest. I just thought we could have tried a different method out here on the web. I guess it ain't so. This beautiful wilderness of cyberspace has been sucked up and devoured by the real world. Screw it. -Lil'DreamerBoy
