Just a reminder that those who are so unhappy about Obama being elected President are free to leave the United States and go live someplace else.

If feed-back and responses aren't wanted, then threads should NOT be started.

The nature of this board is to comment as one sees fit, within the limits of TOS--and you can't suddenly try to control debate to suit your own preferences.


Ummm, I really don't need you to tell me what I should or can/cannot do with regard to ivillage threads or anything else.

*****shrugs shoulders***** Go for it, if that's your preference.

I don't use the "ignore" button at all. Some people I respond to, others I don't, but would really hate to totally block out any one poster, particularly on a debate board, on the premise that they could never say anything of merit or consideration.

Many people do - the general feeling seems to be close the borders as soon as me and mine get through!

I'm curious if, IRL, you also attempt to control discussions this way, and whether you make a habit of sticking your fingers in your ears if you hear something you don't like.


This is a discussion board and it did appear you needed to be reminded of that.

I remember Tom Cruise and Alec Baldwin "threatening" to leave the country if Bush was elected, unfortunately they did not live up to their promises.


What conservatives made similar statements? Was it someone on this board?

"Actually, this is a thread which didn’t really require any replies."


Then why post it in the discussion section of a debate board?
