How do you block people here ?

But it's nice to read dissenting opinions.

The kind of posts I was talking about were ones like where people say men can get pregnant. That's not a "dissenting opinion," that's insanity.

Have you ever read comments like that and changed your mind?

What a wonderful world it must be for all those who choose to block out anything and everyone they don't agree with or are uncomfortable with.

Both blissful and wilful ignorance.

What weak and feeble minded people.

This "ignorance" you speak of.... Is it the kind of ignorance that makes a person not know how to spell "willful?"

I'm just curious.

Might be the same kind of ignorance shown by those grammar police types who fail to check up on the validity of a word before posting.

At least it isn't the ignorance of the person who thinks 'wilful' is a misspelling.

No. But I'm not offended by the stupidity of such claims. As far as I'm concerned, it's a fad that'll die out or kill our society. The latter of which makes it worthy of conversation.

Dear me.....and a failed grammar Nazi as well.

You're not very good at this are you.

If that was the sum of what you took from my previous post then there really is nothing more to say to you.

Good grief man, I don't think anyone could describe me as a 'commie'.
But hey, that's a discussion for another time and place.

If I remember correctly back in the way back then before SO redesigned the site it was possible to block or ignore, I never used it, it sort of seems contrary to the whole ethos of the site.

a reply to: Freeborn

I found the Ignore function very useful for editing out habitually turgid, long-winded posters.

What would be the fun of blocking people one disagreed with? Isn't debate the whole point of ATS?

Lol just limited mental space to wrap your head around...

Women can transition to be men, they are legal men then the gender in your passport is your legal gender.

Now she is a men that can be pregnant...

Voilà... not that hard... But i get that some are mentally stuck in their dichotomous and reductio ad absurdum logic.

I would like to block some of the spammers and trolls. How do I do that so I don't have to read their garbage.

I've always scrolled past them. Blocking someone you don't like seems so elementary regardless of platform.

I never felt the need to block anyone ever, till I spent some time on Twitter/X, it's toxic AF. Otherwise, the scroll button always worked for me. Besides just cause I don't want to read somebody's bullchit in one thread doesn't mean I don't want to read any of their bullchit on other topics

Hope all is well on the bayou...

Same. They can provide some good material to laugh at too, or a good topic not political related.

All is well my friend, thanks for asking. Lots of rain and storms which a little out of the ordinary for this area but nothing major. I'm sure in a month or two we'll be in an extreme wildfire warning like last year with dead, brown grass crunching below every step. We didn't mow the yard past June last Summer.

Sorry, Terp, but if she has all the parts to create and give birth to a child then she's not a man.

In case you didn't notice commie has lost it's meaning... It's been the go to word from a specific echo chamber to label anyone that disagrees with their championed late state capitalist dystopia...

I've seen it thrown around in the same sentence as fascist, that was quite revealing as to how much thought goes into their choice of words.... Probably something they heard as a sort of insult in their echo chamber, like little kids repeating insults without knowing what they mean...

Now they're all grown up, and they use new word that make them sound intelligent, or so they thought....

a reply to: LSU2018

I don't know... when it comes to legalities, a document like a passport is pretty binding... It says nothing about genitals but it declares a gender...

Now if you're concept of gender is still reduced to genitals good luck with the future...

Ok. And how can you be sure you are in touch with reality unless you encounter something that isn’t. Unless you encounter crazy for all you know your the crazy one.

I reject your reality and replace it with my own.

Yess he missed 1 letter and you used 5 periods to end a sentence so what’s your point?

Pot kettle, kiss.

The correct English spelling is wilful.
The usual American English spelling is willful.

www.grammarly.com...#:~:text=Wilful%20is%20a%20British%20spelling,double%20L%20in%20American%20English.

I am English and British.
I spelt it correctly.

No, she's just a screwed up female pretending to be a male. Getting shots so your voice is lowered and you can grow a beard doesn't make a female into a male. XX/XY decides that, no matter what the woke mind virus tries to claim otherwise.

Your confused the other guy cares how you spell stuff.

Me I don’t care how you spell how many periods you use where your from or how the people there spell.
