    There are certain posters that will come here, post fake tweets, engage in a bad faith discussion and repeatedly play dumb even when presented with facts--with no intention of doing anything other than spamming fake news and propaganda.

    Some folks on here routinely take the bait and engage with these folks, especially the big one that has been openly racist, genocidal and discriminatory. Disappearing for months at a time when he gets proven wrong, only to come back and repeat the same.

    I understand this is a place to debate and discuss, but it has its limits and ruins the experience (whatever is left) for the others.

    When someone is clearly here just to propagandize can we please have the members place these people..or person* on ignore?

    An example of a poster taking the bait and engaging wondering why something false was posted

    I don't post here often, how about you use another example lol. In fact I have most of the posters that are looking to troll on ignore which is why half the time is see people arguing by themselves.

    I agree. This behavior needs to be stopped

    Seeing only half of some of these conversations is wild. Sometimes there are only a few threads even visible because the majority of thread starters are on my ignore. I'll admit I might be too quick on the trigger, I'm sure some on my ignore had a bad day or whatever... or we just strongly disagree on whatever issue caused me to hit the button and they are actually arguing in good faith. That is unfortunate and not what I'm going for, but in the long run, I don't really care enough to sift through the nonsense to find the one guy who, from my pov, is simply misguided and... if they were only shown a different perspective, or the real facts they'd change their mind. Not much of that to be had.

    2026, years of this stuff and you are still on that bs, ya gone. Logic doesn't pull someone away from an opinion that was formed without it. Or, logical primacy... anyone can fit logic after the conclusion is reached. It probably won't be any good, and THAT explains the halves of conversations I *do* see.

    As that hateful jackass @basso would probably say, why? Every single decent fan of any Houston team should immediately put him on their ignore list.

    Starve the trolls out...

    It’s interesting to me because I think that we have this forum because it ultimately isolated such discussion away from the sports and hangout for him.

    so I understand the utility, but I don’t participate here a lot because it’s pretty unhinged. There isn’t really a middle ground. It’s just kind of both extremes. that might just be because there’s not ultimately that many people on the forum and there’s not a ton to actually want to peep their head in here.

    I am always surprised by the lack of moderate thinking.
