if everybody used mute, yes that would work too

otoh, i dont mind smacking someone with a flag if they dont even bother to read the post...like the guy below that spammed the anti-spamming post LOL

can't fix stupid...just mute and move on.

Heh, I must be stupid. He muted me because I didn't agree with him on something. You know me. Think about that for a moment. I've used mute maybe 3 or 4 times in a year. I usually just remove support, but I leave the window open that people can change. Expecting people to instantly agree with you and change their mind is unrealistic. It rarely happens. They typically need to go off and think about it and when they do change their mind they may not even remember that a lot of their new ideas came from you.

I hope you don't mean me when you said "he" ;> Not sure of your context

Nope. Talking about the person here who recommended use of the flag. It inspired me to write a post which I just finished. I won't ever mute someone for disagreement, so definitely not you.

Oh... and mute doesn't actually change anything. It just makes you oblivious to any of it.

keeps it from aggravating YOU ;>
