I have about forty of those types on my ignore list. It is too tempting to strike back at them, better to just make their posts disappear.

LOL. From my moniker here - tsigprofit, someone on the Bush thread got the idea somehow that I was Asian? LOL. I am not. I began goading them, and the racist stuff came out about asians. So we had the nonsense of racial slurs being hurled at me when I am a white Caucasian. Pure ignorance on that thread. I had one identifying me as a Chinese Communist. I then of course egged them on by posting quotes from Mao - too much fun for one to have! Your honorable moderator, tsi BTW all - tsig was the first stock I really did well on, while on SI - several years back. I rode it from around 7 cents to 35 cents as I recall, in the go-go dot.com days. That's all it ever was... tsig profit LOL

Here's a gem from one of the right-wing threads: <<< ... It's stupid to fight with a Middle Easterner over a tiny amount of money. Just don't trust them again. After they've burned enough people, they're finished. And everybody hates them for being liars and thieves. When dealing with a Middle Easterner, if they are doing work for you, never give them the money until they are done, and the job is done to your satisfaction. And if you are doing work for them, never even begin until you have the entire amount up front. If they give you partial payment, that's all you'll ever see. Be constantly prepared to renegotiate, and constantly prepared to walk away. I have to say, I've never seen one of them do work I'd be satisfied with, anyway. There's no other group of people I'd say that about, not Chinese, not Mexicans, not Africans. They do make nice rugs and some of them are good cooks ... >>> Message 20008544 Tom

One has to kind of pity people who have so little humanity that they can think and talk that way. Thinking that way cannot be a pleasant way to live- witness the time those folks spend on SI being unrelentingly ugly, and horrid. Such a life, who would want to live it? Ignore them, and pity them. I realize that will make them angry, but anything will make them angry, since they are already angry. We can't do anything much about them, except try to marginalize them- and I do think they are an angry, loud, minority.
