I'm always up for a challenge... or maybe I can just trick jaadams1 into it. :agree: I probably could...but I'd hate to get blocked by someone. I'm not that mean...until we get on the blocks to race!! :banana:

I wonder how many people have me blocked... :rolleyes: Is there a leaderboard? :D If there is, I'm sure I lead it, due to the :bitching: about my color, font, and Smilies! :bolt:

I have found the vast majority of masters swimmers that I have met to be outstanding, open and kind. The occasional individual seems to surface who seems all about personal attacks on these forums, that I could do without. Hi Peter! I agree most swimmer's and Forum Folks are extremely kind, generous, open, friendly, and amazing people. Sometimes certain people can strike a "wrong chord" with you and cause you to be annoyed for whatever reason just based on what they say and how they say it. In my opinion it's a great option to just block them and not deal with them at all as opposed to publicly assaulting them on the forum. This is just my simpleton opinion and it works for me. :angel: ps...I rarely get annoyed at anyone ever.

So this is a meta-thread about the other thread? Sweet, I love meta-threads! Meta is where it's at, baby! Though really, it's difficult to find much support for noodlers. Masters swimmers are almost unanimous against them it seems. Thus the continued calls for their extermination. :dunno: I'm gonna say it. I like noodlers. Swimming back and forth is boring, unidentified floating objects give you something to aim for and swim around. Controversy!

And even if you block him/her, if someone references their post in a quote, you still can't get away from them. Very annoying when they come back to the forums with a different username; you have to block them yet again! I wish the system administrators would bar some of these people.

If it makes you feel better, I can honestly say most of the Masters swimmers I've met are wonderful people. In any community, there will always be someone who prefers to be nasty instead of nice. I agree!

How do you do this? And does the block person know he/she is being filtered out? Hi Aquajock! It's very easy! Go up to User CP (upper left in the blue) and click it. Next go to Settings and Options, click Edit Ignore LIst and type the person's name or screen name into the field. I don't think they know they are blocked. I only have 1 person blocked and I seriously doubt if they know. I doubt if they care either! :)

I was so happy when I discovered I can block certain forumites and their comments and replies. It's not that I mind a wide variety of opinions and personalities, but there are just some people on this forum I'd rather not read. Try it, it makes the whole forum experience very pleasant. :) How do you do this? And does the block person know he/she is being filtered out?

I wonder how many people have me blocked... :rolleyes: Is there a leaderboard? :D I figure it's a 1-1 ratio, for every person I have blocked there's probably one blocking me.

In an organization of people who love swimming who could use using the forums to come closer together, it is discouraging to see people launching venom at each other. Someone made a comment recently about how no women were posting on one thread that was getting especially nasty. Why would we want to when we risk getting our head bitten off for offering our POV? I seek to exchange information and make new friends, not get psychotic people on my back.... Can she get an AMEN?

I like this thread. It's for people that are sandbagging the sandbaggers thread!

Yeah that one is gettin kinda brutal. Behavior there has me questioning whether a trip to nationals next year is worth taking and even if I want to renew and just go back to usas meets. :confused: Thinking about that kind of drama before a race causes more drag than my huge beer gut does. :blush:

I also thought that thread was veering into dangerous territory and basically quit following it.I don't mind controversy,but I agree that personal attacks are not in the spirit of what I want these forums to be about.
