Excellent point.
Quote from Thunderdog:
OK, but hypothetically speaking, what if the poster was a blithering idiot whose own posts are internally inconsistent? Would it be acceptable to call him on it and declare, "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"
If moderators are are going to take the time to delete flaming posts, which they are certainly entitled to do, perhaps they should consider deleting bone-headed stupid posts constructed by pathological liars as well. It requires very little effort to identify them as, more often that not, they often lack basic internal consistency between and among them, from one post to the next.
The ignore function is a fine feature. But when you are walking down a street that you like, is it easy (or right) to ignore the litter that seems to be accumulating? Some people are turning this place into a bad joke. Why are you ignoring that?
