To RickBin. Why are you not blocking the obvious trolls on here? Makes me want to stop wasting my time with this site.

They drive traffic. Ric is pretty hands off, which is far better than over monitored.

Under what circumstances do you find it acceptable to waste your own time? How does the presence or absence of trolls change the equation?

If you don't click on their inflammatory posts, how much time does that cost you?

There was a time when listening to BOTH Sides was worthwhile.

Clicks equal $$.

If everyone would not click on their threads, nor reply to them, the gain just isn't there.

There goal is not to debate or discuss.

Notice they usually only enter a thread when it is extremely favorable to President Trump and his ACCOMPLISHMENTS .

Their goal is to hijack the thread, steer the conversation away from how successful this President is and to get you to change the subject by focusing on them and not the OP.

It is a form of censorship and it works well for them here, because several members here continue to take their bait.

You need to learn how to just ignore the communist azzholes that pollute this site.
Don't open any threads they make and don't respond to any posts they make.

The magic formula, ignore them.

Yup that is what I do.

You guys KNOW who the trolls are. Stop replying to them. The post goes off the first 3-4 pages within a few hours....

Good question I’d like to hear an answer.

Once I know who a troll is I just stop clicking on their threads. They have the freedom to troll, Rick has the freedom to make money off em (it’s his site after all) and I have the freedom to ignore em.

I learned from one of the worst of the worst on this site, that if you pay attention to them in ANY WAY, including posting to them, and about them, you give them air, air to breathe, and therefore exist. Quit feeding them by acknowledging that they exist, and get on with what you are here for, your enjoyment, and the comradery, with the good and knowledgeable members of this site.

Use the ignore feature folks and don't even open their damn threads. I have 9 of these douche bags on ignore now and life is much better already. The more you fuggin pander them, the more they will post. Do we need to review this concept every day???

And with regard to the Rickbin request, this isn't a totalitarian site, it's a capitalistic site. Stop giving giving people your money and they'll go out of business.
