If a post gets no comments it sinks to the bottom of the thread. There are a lot of hateful stuff being started and while I often want to tear into them I don't. I would rather they sink into obscurity. If you agree with this reply with a short "I agree" so that this message will remain near the top of the thread.
Post up
Agreed.
It's very tempting to call them on it, especially those pro-Ohbummer pimps. The obviously racist ones I ignore.
I agree
Agree
I like this better than "don't respond to trolls." It's sometimes hard to distinguish someone who wants to have a discussion about controversial topics, and someone who is just simply a troll, but not responding to posts that are just blind hate is a great idea.
Hey they secretly.want.to support this.or.they wouldn't be here. they are.part.of.the.99 and.know.it
Sometimes the.truth hurts
I agree.
I believe the hate-inducing threads get replied to more often. It's hard not to respond when attacked. Hate is NOT what we want! That's what the status quo wants.
I agree. It's wasting everyone's time and energy that's obviously better spent on the real issues at hand.
