Discussion of blindness

[goji]

Most of us on a board like this use our common sense to decide, over time, which posters we find believable and which not. I can't see why any of us would bother to stay here at all if we didn't believe anything people say

The board has a mix of contributors.
If we put the clones, hydras and members with fake or inconsistent life stories on IGNORE, we are then left with the ones who write something worth reading.

This only works if we're fairly ruthless in using the ignore feature & adding to the list. After all, after ignoring some of the Frequent clones, more clone profiles are dusted off will engage in silly arguments with any member willing to go along with the charade. As we have seen recently. That is immediately fixed by adding the new profiles to the ignore list.

[Anyone who doesn't like this may put me on their ignore list. Also, feel free to disagree below, so I can consider adding to the ignore list]

The statistics show about 80 members are normally browsing the forum. Of them at least 20 are authentic, reliable members. Many are people I have no knowledge of nor even heard of and some may be questionable even though they are long time posters.

I suspect that perhaps 10 members may fall in the category of clones, hydras, trolls.

Mon cher François,
j’ai même découvert quelques-uns de vos autres noms.Honte à vous aussi.

My dear François,
I even discovered a few of your other names. Shame on you too.

Perhaps at one time, in the past, I used a different posting name but I truly don't recall. I do remember, when I first posted as Francois, I was labeled a "troll" by some members! However, members who personally knew me did then vouch for my authenticity.

This is the kind of comment by you, part self-important, part threatening, that leads me to conclude that you are a complete and utter control freak with no tolerance for opposing views at all, who would have done better to stay on the other board you use, where the owner is much more in sympathy with your views. On this board you will end up with a sea of 'ignores' in your view with the occasional 'acceptable' fish bobbing about. The other thing I would say is that I don't understand why you (and Dodger too) are so keen to tell us at tediously frequent intervals which posters are on your ignore list - as if many of us care. I only recall once putting someone on ignore in many years of posting, and that only briefly, and the last thing I would have thought of doing was to publicise the fact. That's like letting the other person know he has got under your skin and rattled you and now you're waving the white flag. No doubt you will argue that you are only drawing attention to a hydra, impostor or whatever, but since Moses has already said he will not act without proof it's a futile exercise.

but since Moses has already said he will not act without proof it's a futile exercise.

Not forgetting of course that as members don't have access to the same super duper Nasa super computer that the board / Moses uses, which may well show such up things ( well unless someone choses to by pass that super duper system using VPN's etc of course) then THAT can never happen of course anyway.

Moses has already said he will not act without proof it's a futile exercise.

I understand Moses's statement on the matter perfectly.

He's not going to act without proof, which no one will ever get and we are advised to use the ignore feature instead.

So I've stopped asking for action by Moses some time ago.
I'm also following his recommendation by using the ignore list and reminding others of this fine facility. Even added one more to it today.

About 10 actual members perhaps ??

Sounds about right.
