We agree (none / 0)

Thats why we formalized the "ignore" idea with a boycott, to give it more structure and serve as a reminder.

Ken was the obvious first to be ignored because his proclivity to troll, hijack threads and in general be an ass.

We are discussing expanding the boycott to other trolls.

Only the user community can make an effort to encourage positive dialog. It begins with eliminating the negative and with support of the TYT operators, that to date, has not been forthcoming.

The operators need to establish and enforce rules of conduct, providing user tools such as a server based "ignore" function, a rating system, "one man, one blog" and the ability for users to own their blog space.

Ultimately, only the user community can create and respond to positive dialog. Ken and his crew have survived here so long by playing on the desire to take a swing at the "enemy", bluster and bullying. As a result he has hijacked the entire Forum as a platform for his personal ego gratification.He thinks he owns the place. No longer.

I don't mind the boycott... (none / 0)
and I try to abide... however, sometimes it's extremely tempting... another question - are we boycotting all the conservative idiots who post here from time to time, or just sockpuppets of Ken? What about Bobo or Bobo1?

It's just hard to keep track.

Plus, even if we got rid of Ken, probably another douchebag will stumble upon the site and replace him, no?

More and more, I think the administrators of the site should just implement controls to limit him to just one user id.

conservatives, idiots or otherwise, are in endless supply on political forums. Ken, if that's his real name, is the only "conservative" at TYT that has this problem. He's is simply a foul mouthed, mean spirited jerk.

Stop your whining, Russ... (none / 0)
It is very unbecoming of someone with your intelligence and experience.

I would think that an old salty like you would need Ken, Twba and me to liven this otherwise droll and dismal spirited place up.

Have you noticed how many more non-sockpuppet conservatives are showing up here on the forum? The tides are turning against your failed ideology once again - the nation has had its taste of Obama style Liberalism and they have soundly rejected it...

If you were interesting... (none / 0)
...then we might consider you as having some value to the community.  But you are simply to shallow and emotionally damaged.

Pot calling kettle black alert!!!

As a self admitted recovering alcoholic and former patient of various mental institutions, you have no room to talk...

Actually,... (none / 0)
...I am a recovered alcoholic.  And who knows?  One day you might be able to say that you've recovered from your crippling mental disorders -- but only if you start getting help for them soon.

Star have you noticed (none / 0)
Bobo's go to play seems to be the "drugs" pitch low and inside?

As someone recently pointed out "The lady doth protest too much, methinks".

His hero Mr. Limprod is a drug addict. The President he spent 8 years defending was a admitted drunk. Yet he loves to throw out druggie at the drop of a hat.

Could it be the recurring case of Kettle meets Pot?

Hey! You're right! (none / 0)
He's also big on mental illness.  He likes to accuse people of being off their medications.  He may be one of those who thinks that he doesn't need his, even though everyone around him wishes that he would take them.

Thanks Bobo (none / 0)
Now everytime someone post a Glenn Beck or a Rush Limbaugh quote or reference we can refer back to this little jewel  from you and post the warning that you have supplied.
 
As we all know little Glenny is a self admitted recovering alcoholic and drug addict, former patient at a mental institute, so he really has no room to talk. Not to mention Rush who is a recovering drug addict who was a patient in rehab.

I feel better knowing we never again have to read their lunatic rantings again, and I'd like to thank you for supporting this policy.

no bobotaitz (none / 0)
I dont know how many conservatives are showing up on this site..

enlighten me

is it less than 3?

since your brand of extremism makes up a small percentage of the population. Im not to worried about tides turning.

The more the regressives pander to the birthers  and the climate change deniers  the worse it is for them.

Obama is not a liberal  and if you think he is you are totally ignorant.
