So, you're in favor of censorship at the Administrative level?
Are you unable to self-censor?
No, wait, I think I know the answer.....
I think I'm doing rather nicely with the active measures that I have been (long been) using to minimize my exposure to that particular Pennock's forum member account.
But some new forum software functionality that would make this even more convenient for me, and even more reliable?
"Yes, please."
Provided that I could turn it Off and On whenever I want, at my own discretion.
It wouldn't be censoring your forum experience, (Mr.) "olejoedad".

For anyone and everyone's interest, except for Jake_Dragon, who obviously won't be reading this.
As you put my name out there again, let me expand. I find your posts hollow, I don't know what is you and what is just copy paste from other things. I have come to the conclusion that no matter how many of your posts I read I just don't get why. Would you rather instead of just not reading that I respond and get again lost in some dialoged that I just don't get.
Perhaps just a couple times you would just say how you feel instead of the well here is what they said over there. Perhaps you have but again as I skip most of your posts I wouldn't know. Have a nice weekend.

I don't feel any obligation or see any advantage for myself, to look upon a spectacle that I would just as soon not exist. The public messages or "posts" from that particular individual. It's incumbent upon him to create messages that I would want to read, if that's what he wants. For me to read him.

If it's "just say how you feel" that Jake is looking for, I suggest that he could view (or review, or re-review) Reply-32, on the first page of this thread, where I started by quoting one of his messages and reacting to one of his remarks. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/...HTML/000170.html#p32
In Reply-32, I said very directly what I thought, without invoking or presenting what anyone in the media (or elsewhere) was saying or reporting.

Do you need software to function ? On and off ?
Look or don't look.
I guess you do need software. You can't help yourself.
I guess you do need software. You can't help yourself.
Have you tried this yourself, for any extended period of time? Trying to remain completely unaware of what (specifically) a particular other forum member is posting?
I have been fairly successful with my efforts in this regard.
But doing this in my improvised way has its shortcomings, compared to what I would expect from the putative new software functionality that I can envision.
For the sake of brevity, I will elaborate no further. Unless I am further "provoked" by more of this very same kind of speculation that is exemplified by this remark here, from "cliffw".

Sorry to register that. Slightly sorry. It's not a "show stopper" for me, but it's not welcome news.
Is it contagious? The systematic not reading of "that other guy's" posts.
Makes me think again of an idea I've been turning over in my mind, from time to time. Of whether to try to suggest to the one person who could make it happen that a screen name selectable post blocker would be another step forward for the Pennock's forum. I don't know, about trying to make that suggestion. I don't think I would want to have any other forum member's automatically and systematically blocked from my view, unless I could turn it Off and On myself. So I'm not of a mind (yet) to try to make that suggestion.
It kind of "hit me" some weeks ago that the "Blacklist" feature that Cliff Pennock implemented some time ago could be like a foundation or first step towards implementing a version of this "post blocker" function that I just described. So if there is already an exclusionary relationship in the forum software that prevents "Joe Blow" from posting in any thread that's been started by "Rick Dick" (and vice versa), perhaps that could be extended to provide a functionality for Joe Blow to have the content of all posts from Rick Dick automatically and systematically excluded from Joe Blow's view (and vice versa). If it could be turned Off and On by Joe Blow (and vice versa).

After some consideration of your idea, perhaps it would be a good feature for the Forum owner to implement.
I doubt that he will, however, because once it is implemented, I think his Forum traffic would decrease dramatically, which would affect what income he realizes from this Forum.

Why would traffic decrease?
Any thoughts on that?
Some would block everyone with whom they disagree, and without an antagonist would no longer have anything to say. For better or worse, it would significantly reduce traffic.
If you go to a buffet (I'm sure rinselberg would never indulge in such a pedestrian activity), do you demand that the establishment remove from your sight all distasteful comestibles?

What if it is tied to the "Blacklist" feature that is Cliff Pennock's most recent addition to the software functionality? The system that Cliff has set up so that "A" cannot post into any thread started by "B", and vice-versa? It could just be an enlargement of this feature. Cliff himself controls that directly. So it wouldn't be a generalized option that all of us would see or be able to use. If that is how it were implemented.
I personally don't put any stock in this idea that a selective blocking functionality of this kind would have any predictable effect on the amount of activity that the forum generates, or cause any change in the revenues that accord to Cliff Pennock from the ad sponsors. I just can't get my head around that thought. (Truthfully, I have no experience, as I have never hosted a website or an online messaging forum or anything else of that kind.)

I would, if there were offerings on the buffet table that were clearly spoiled and rotting, crawling with maggots or flies, or splotched visibly with large patches of mold, and emitting unmistakably foul odors. Or offerings that were mysteriously speaking in demonic chants.

Originally posted by williegoat: Just as some watch the races just for the crashes, I'm sure that some come here for a similar thrill.
I tend to think that an equal or greater number are turned off when they are scrolling their way through a thread and encounter one of these "subtexts", and so, decide they'd rather contemplate something else, instead of this forum.
An obvious and recent example would be Page Three (3) of "Are Russian nukes as decrepit as their conventional weapons?" in this Politics & Religion section.
I think it's at least possible that a selective blocking function of the kind that's being talked about here would release new forum member "energy" that is currently suppressed because it is locked up in Matter Vs Antimatter-like tensions between mutually exclusive pairs of forum members that are inherently antagonistic. (Reference the Standard Model.)

Six minute edit of the documentary "2000 Mules". Using 10 trillion cell phone tracking data points and 4 million minutes of state surveillance video, this team clearly proves organized criminal behavior in multiple Democratic stronghold cities, enough to change the outcome of the election. The data is there, we just need law enforcement officials, judges and politicians to do their jobs now and investigate and prosecute.

sorry but the drop box does not look that narrow of a slot so the guy feeding the one at a time and not by the bunch show is PURE FAKE the guy is doing an LOOK AT ME act for the camera there if not pure stagecraft by the rumps agents
and I note no where and when stated
and could be t-rump votes by the trumpets
may be this is how the rump ''won'' in 2016 but as far as proof of a crime NO evidence seen in the clip
------------------ Question wonder and be wierd are you kind?
60,000 hours of video, provided by the election authorities, all fake
Thousands of geolocation traces showing GOP operatives repeatedly traveling between Democrat clubhouses and drop boxes loaded with Biden votes. The perfect cover! LBJ would be in awe.
The video in that clip is from Gwinnett County, northeast of Atlanta. You can do the rest of the research yourself. Have fun.
On the first page of this thread, I linked to a document from "True The Vote". At the end of that document, there are Geolocation maps, a list of Mobile Device ID's and a list of agencies and their responses to the request for surveillance video.
Some of the data is now in the hands of various government entities and is under investigation. We shall see.

This proves nothing will ever convince hard core leftists. Nothing. Even video evidence from an official source is called fake.
Here's one for the left: A 23 year old Republican in Philly was found to be in possession of 12 mail in ballots after going door to door to help people register for the upcoming primary. He was fired, kicked out of the party and banned from ever running for public office.

or maybe 2000 Gop mules posing for the camera did the trumpers do this in 2016
look at the slot there is no reason to one at a time feed the drop box except a photo opt
think out side the talking points they feed you
