LR

Group 5 minus 1 — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:04:57 GMT

Would like to see references to her banned from the forum.

Why? I'm against any kind of banning. If people want to talk about her, so what? If you don't want to read a post, pass on by. Why limit other people's conversations just because YOU don't want to join in?

Is it against community standards?

@santorini I agree with you, wholeheartedly. However, I am still curious and would like @Group 5 minus 1 to answer you and give a reason for his/her request (although rather certain she's a 'her'). This should be good....

If people stopped responding, they would go away. I no longer even open them, but the last one I saw had 70 replies.

I don't read things that I don't want to read about. No ban needed. Please, if I complained about those things here that i find messed up and suggested they be banned, it would be ridicoulous.

I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about, but I think to be perfectly clear for the mass of people reading this, you should write out the full name. LR could be a couple of different people.

I finally learned that and I'm now using the 'sit on my hands' approach, LOL!

If you don't like a thread, don't click on it. Why do you want to censor others?

I think she is having a mid-life crisis.... very embarrassing. I thought she had more class.

Me too. I used to read them and may have even responded or at least hearted posts. But it's getting very old now so I just pass on by.

If this is the LR I think it is, I dont even read them anymore. I also do not read threads with SG in the headline, so tired of the bashing she gets.

@proudlyfromNJ

You're right, it's not and the Mods have stated so on many of those threads.

I may be tired of them/have no interest, but that's my problem, I don't have to read them or respond.

That doesn't mean they have no right to be posted, since they don't violate standards.

Although I personally feel that most of the time these threads fall into the 'baiting' category, mainly because the OP rarely comes back to respond, so they're obviously not trying to open a discussion.

Just a fly by post to get reaction. They know how they always end.

Good for a chuckle, I guess.

JMHO

Yes, it's Lisa Robertson, not Lisa Rinna or a lot of other people with those same initials.

Why? She has been gone a long time and it is not longer necessary to reference her soooo much.

As I said, I personally cringe when I see those threads, but the reality is that there's no time limit on subjects we can start threads about in the Community Standards.

We can't 'bump up' old threads, but we can start new ones on the same subject as an 'old' thread.

I absolutely agree. Banning is harsh and should be reserved for a very few things, like the ban on political posts.

If other people want to post about Lisa, that's fine. I'm able to pass on those posts I don't want to read without having to get a moderator involved or ban a topic. I don't like soap operas - I'm not going to ask the mods to ban discussion about them because I don't like them, I'm just not going to read them.

Kathy Levine, Jeffrey Hewsom and Judy Crowell have been gone a long time, too, but I see threads pop up once in a while about them. Oh, and Dave King.

The threads are started to bait posters and cause a stir - unfortunately the moderators don't see it that way.

Re: LR

Krimpette — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 20:30:21 GMT

@Ibby114. I agree. Yet, it appears the mods have prevented me from responding to the offending poster's posts. Baiting? For sure!
