RE:RE:RE:RE:Just know thisForderster, many thanks!
I agree that it is a lose-lose-situation. So, question is: what is the lesser evil?
I hate to disagree with you, but when you say: "if we ignore them, the BB will be filled with their drama and lies" this seems to be wrong to me, becasue the BB is already full of their posts. And we can't prevent that. We longs can only control our reaction to it.
I did a little experiment to find out what the lesser evil is and put the most active bashers on ignore. Two findings:
- It gives a very different and relaxing viewing expierence of the board.
- one notices how many post react to the bashers and not all are rational refutations, as some can't keep their cool and get upset (quite understandably so). But these reactions to the bashers have become a huge part of the BB as well.
In my view reacting to a post that is repeating same old lies, does the exactly the bashers job. For free.
You know, how much I love your call for paience! I just would like to add: patience and discipline!
Best,
M
