Can we block MetsJetsDevils?

Just give him a thumbs down everytime he posts something. It pisses him off really bad.

Leave him alone. He's a Mets fan. And I don't mean that derogatorily. His favorite team just had one of the all-time meltdowns in sports history, he's likely not in a very good mood right about now. I'm obviously not supporting of his chosen way to express his frustration, but I'm not going to give him any grief over it either. Let's just not reply to any more of his comments for the next day or so and let him cool off.

hit ignore comment the little red circle with a line through it and it minuses him 15 pts i believe

Of course the irony of this is that it has come full circle. This was my post when the whole thing started.

"The idea of freedom of speech is to let ideas compete in the marketplace of ideas. There is nothing more contrary to the spirit of freedom than excerisizing censorship. I can understand that administrators need to keep the site running effectively and that at times it is important to ban certain users because they are trolls trying to bring down a community that we have built. In my opinion, the site has other means for expressing disagreement with the use of slurs. Minus the comment away. Link to the comment and condemn it. Write an article about homophobia in sports and reference it. It is too easy to use the "censor's pen" to silence those that we disagree with. Apparently it is too hard to remember that we too have the power of free speech."

And this unsolicited lecture was brough to you by the Cardozo Law School 1st Amendment Theory Class (DNL was in the class too, but I did better) :), Spring '05. I don't care that Tyrone is a bigot or that you defend him. I really don't expect much from you anyway. But do me a favor and take it somewhere that caters to the bigot crowd. My friends who started this site didn't start it for you and your gay bashing friends. Do what all people like you do. Go out to a gay bar pretending to be gay, find your prey and beat him to a pulp because he had the audacity to love another man.

You are scum. You an are an embarrassment to this community.

Mazel tov. Today is the day that decency and respect for others dies (again) at armchairgm.

As of now, I'm not going to ban anyone. I will delete the polls if I deem them innapropriate.

MJD and I have had some disagreements in the past, but his opinions are too intelligent to block. It just wouldn't make sense for me, and I don't think for anyone.

People are going to disagree sometimes. And that is precisely when we should start listening MORE instead of listening less.
