[conscious evolution]

have returned with a vengeance since the nuke block was lifted?

Please get over it people.

4. I just saw it

Well, that came and went fast!

I never had any use for it anyway.

[babylonsister]

9. Me neither. nt

[conscious evolution]

6. It was lifted

And it seems like all of they people who got blocked are taking it out on the blockers.It is getting pretty vicous in some of them.

Like I said--Get over it people.

2. I can't believe they got rid of the nuke block. I never even got to try it :(

And I liked knowing it was there... just in case :)

7. Have you tried one of Dick Cheney's free speech zones? Same difference.

Except Dick uses chain link fencing. How soon we forget or We only oppose it when it works against us. Not when it works for us?

11. the FSZ never bothered me. I understand the need for security

I did not want Bush to see me anyway. I wanted the public too. If we could have gotten 10,000 people into our FSZ instead of less than 200 it would have sent a huge message.

17. I don't think you do.

Because what that tells me is that you were a threat to presidential or public safety. I don't belive that for one second. Because that was the message Cheney was sending to thier supporters with that stunt. The message he was sending to protestor was that it's dangerous to oppose the administration. Your dangerous and needed to be cages like animal. Again I don't believe that for one second. But what do I know. I'm just a retired bodyguard.

5. Not really.

The ignore function's still around. If people were using block, I'd think they'd still use ignore.

:shrug:

8. I hadn't noticed. Seems about the same as always.

[Critters2]

10. I haven't been involved in any.

More fun I haven't been invited to. *sigh*

[AtomicKitten]

12. I don't think it made much of a difference.

Just new material to argue over IMO.

13. OH YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?? HUH??

:rofl:

[conscious evolution]

14. As long as they have nice hair

I don't!!:hide: :rofl:

[burythehatchet]

15. OK ignore my message in your inbox then

:rofl:

[conscious evolution]

16. I had just come from that thread

when I saw your reply!!It did get pretty funny there.
But I have to say my first thought was: Not another flame fest!Jeez.

[janx]

18. No.

any mention of primaries will bring on great floods of them. It's awful.

[porphyrian]

19. Wait. Get over the nuke block getting lifted or get over the flame wars returning? - n/t

[conscious evolution]

22. More like 'get over

the fact that you were blocked and now that you aren't you are gonna take revenge for it' mentality.

[porphyrian]

24. Are people really doing that? Is this an epidemic or it's just happened to you? - n/t

[conscious evolution]

25. It has not happened to me

I never used it and only have 1 person on ignore.
When I posted this I had read 8 or 9 threads in a row that had erupted into flames wars,most of which seemed to be over petty crap.Then I realized thatmost of them involved people who had blocked or had been blocked by the other participants.
It just struck me as kinda childish.

[porphyrian]

26. I see. I guess that's what happens when you release the inmates.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, though. They'll all be fighting about primary candidates soon.

[BlooInBloo]

20. Nuke block? You the the "I'm-too-much-of-a-fucking- coward-to-hear-dissent" feature?

[conscious evolution]

23. huh?

[uppityperson]

21. I am finding I am more tolerant, can ignore people better now on my own.

off to check for flame war...
