So?
I doubt any two of us have the same regard for posters and particular posts - from day to day. Your tastes are yours.
Ross is testy, aberrant and occasionally insulting. For a certain insightfulness (especially re typical Murican foibles) and occasional sheer brilliance, I'll put up with aberrations. I choose spicy over bland. But you don't have to.
Owlet can take care of herself, and properly nails Ross on the "how many others post here about Their relatives' ailments?" cha cha cha
Besides, she's an.. at least Interesting mix of smart, helpless and occasionally - surprising. At least she's not homogenized. (See? for me that's Hopeful, when someone who might not have ... resists the blender!)
(And when GawdHatesHomosexuals type stuff rears its ugly head - no doubt I land on your list, too ;-)
There's just not much going for the homo-saps in these declining years towards --> full homogenization into good Corporate drones; y'know? ..always a fussin and tellin other ones What's Righteous. Or.. What to Buy. And such.

Agreed
It seems the only "person" here not worth a read is Marlowe.

Well sometimes
even Marlowe can be fascinating... and did you see the way I got him to agree with me that he was wrong about the Russians storming the building? And that expressions of sadness were at least helpful to the victim's families?
There may be hope for Marlowe yet. ;)

Not worth it
I killfile Marlowe threads.
Even if occasionally acts human, so what?
I saw an LRPD a while ago (I think) and I figure it is a good one to live by:

What about me?
I thought I was not worth the read. But then, maybe I do have a few fans or friends out there who like to read my posts?

You're not worth the read...
but sometimes you're worth the flame.

I will then see what I can do to fix that
if my recent posts are any indication that I am not getting flamed recently.

I know
the first step is not to talk about the IWT 12 step program, remember? :)

Yep
And remember, the 2nd step... post carefully. ;)

Just thought of something Orion,
the first step is not to talk about the IWT 12 step program, remember? :) That's actually incorrect. Cite: "The first step is for PEOPLE IN THE PROGRAM not to talk about the program." I'm not IN the program, you are. ;) Brenda

Barry almost nails it.
"Some people are not worth correcting." But it is an individual decision. Sometimes I can't read you, Ashton -- but you already know that. We have individual reactions to different people and it took me a long time to accept that, to me, some people spew uselessly a lot more often than the average. That's all I was saying.
But I won't killfile anyone: occasionally there are gems in the shit. I just retune my threshold on a per poster basis. ;-)
