**************PLEASE IGNORE**************** I told to ignore this! This is a post about ignoring. I have a burr under my saddle about this ignore button so indulge me while I act ignorant since you aren't going a very good job of ignoring this post. I am ignorant since I fail to see a need for an ignore button. If someone has a history of posting something that I don't like, I take the novel approach of (gasp) not reading what they post. Usually, I can find something interesting about a post...if nothing else, amazement that one of such diminished capacity retained the ability to type. As I have stated, I am ignorant so it is not a big leap for me to ignore** something or somebody. Let's play on the slippery slope of the 'ignore button' mentality... If you had an IGNORE button, you wouldn't have to read all the bad things people say about your stock...BUT... They are still posting bad things so other people might be reading these bad things...SO...you need the power to make anyone that disagrees with your view unable to post on the thread. Good so far... BUT... they might disagree with your view on another thread... SO...just cut to the chase and ban them from the site. THAT should do it!!! BUT... they might be posting views that you don't like on other sites...SO...what you REALLY need is the power to stop them from posting on the internet. NOW, that should definitely do it...BUT... they might write letters to magazines and speak to people about their views that disagree with those that you hold SO very close...SO...what you really need is the power to HUNT THEM DOWN LIKE THE DOGS THEY ARE. YOU NEED THE RIGHT AND POWER TO REACH DOWN THEIR THROAT AND RIP THEIR LUNGS OUT!!! Seems to be an civilized result to someone thinking that they have the right to disagree and be really, really annoying. After all, it's not like there is a chance that you might be wrong... The Ignorant, lee(the hick) PS - I told you to Ignore this post.
