bumble ScarletRose: I would use the hide feature, except that it hides everything that a person posts, not just those things that I find objectionable. I generally disagree or don't like a lot of things that the one that can't name me posts, but on occasion he will post something of interest to me or even have something intelligent and pertinent to the current topic of discussion. The one the can't name me is a fairly smart guy, whether or not I like his way of doing things or how he treats me and others is only part of it. I suffer though everyone's posts including his, just on the chance, no matter how small, that I might learn something from them. That is why I said nothing through all the advertising he has posted. I believe an occasional post could slide by and not be too bothersome, but to continually harp on it amounts to advertising commercially and is not fair to readers of these posts that have opted out. I'm glad that the situation was brought to a moderator's attention and action was taken to put a check on it. As I said, I kept quiet about it and thought it was just me partly blaming my hard feelings concerning the one that won't name me. I didn't realize that others on this site had a problem with it as I've never seen it posted anywhere. Perhaps they've talked about it in private messages or in a fellowship. I might be out of the loop, but I still observe the goings on in the discussion boards that I do read.
