It is a great joy to come to this board and find it so focused on substantive content and not filled with political bait posts. Every once in a while, I get a glimpse into that alternative reality because I poster I haven't blocked comments on a thread created by someone who I have blocked. Then, I am given this glimpse into a crazy thread that I was blissfully ignorant of. When I get the glimpse, I am mostly grateful to Manlobbi for giving me the ability to be blinded to the crazy of it all.

For those of you who haven't done so, I really encourage you to consider using the ignore button. Silence and lack of reaction to their posts sucks the oxygen out of crazy, while engagement of any kind just feeds the energy. I am all for curiosity and hearing the other side, but certain folks have long gone past the border of informative, engaging dialogue.
