And why are you opposed to people being able to hit an ignore button in threads that hold no interest for them?
-
By the way you’ve now accused people several times of posting under multiple names.
Am I one of those people? What other names do I post under?

Not at all, disch; however, I was making a point about the scrolling function that might have escaped you. In fact, I would LOVE to be able to push a button to block certain Orgers...but I don't see how that would work unless it were for orgNotes.

[Edited 5/12/18 8:30am]

When did I say that I was opposed to an ignore button????? I'll wait. Moreover, please don't attribute things that I didn't say to me. If you go back a page or two, you will notice that someone accused me of having multiple screen names, so that's where that thought came from on this thread. Did you not notice that? Why not call that Orger out for their direct personal attack instead of constantly zeroing in on me, disch? Why are you always shadowing me?

Sigh.

Ok: post #165, you said in a reply TO ME (on a post I wrote that had nothing to do with “multiple screen names”):
“Why would I waste my time doing that? Besides which, after I consolidated the identities of those using multiple screen names, I feel sure our results would be vastly different.” That’s what prompted me to ask you if I was one of your “multiple screen name” posters and if not who is.
-
And re ignore function: in post 170 you wrote: “the "ignore button" is mental. That is, if there are multiple threads about something/someone about which you have no interest, all you have to do is scroll past them. Why should things be changed because certain people are apparently unwilling to ignore threads that don't interest them?”

What is your point, disch? I never said that I made no mention of multiple screen names. BTW: There is at least one other time I mentioned it in this thread (Reply #123). I tell you, it's really interesting how you have zeroed in on this whole multiple screen name thing. Very interesting.

It's no use disch, they flood the threads so much they forget what they say.

If you go back to Reply #164, disch, you will see that Penny mentioned the "ignore button," to which I responded in Reply #170. But that doesn't mean that I "oppose an ignore button." So, I accept your apology in advance for falsely accusing me in this regard.

I’m “zeroing in” because you brought it up in a response directed at me.

So what are the other screenanrs I post under?

Let it go, disch. You know who you are.

I’m not apologizing to you fly. I didn’t “accuse” you of anything. I quoted your post where you said “an ignore button is mental.”

but I’m glad that you clarified that you in fact DO support this board introducing an ignore function that applies to both threads and posters! While I don’t see that functionality happening, it’s good to know that’s one thing that we do agree on, at least in theory.

Personally, I could do without those threads too.

I think it should be 1 (one) thread per associate to discuss anything about said associate and be done with it. I don't know why we need all of these different threads about the same associate. Just combine them to 1 thread of their own.

The "ignore button" is mental. That is, if there are multiple threads about something/someone about which you have no interest, all you have to do is scroll past them. Why should things be changed because certain people are apparently unwilling to ignore threads that don't interest them?

Actually, the original topic (the thread title) may interest a lot of people, however, once you open the page and it has turned into page after page of comments regarding his relationship with this person or that one, what he and/or she was wearing, what he or she said at this or that concert, and pictures and articles that have absolutely nothing to do with the original thread....makes it kind of hard to ignore.

Case in point: "Oui Can Luv" Album Used For Tribute Video :::::: " 2 people in love, with nothing but the road ahead... "

In post number 5, it turns to their relationship, instead of focusing on the album as the thread title implies the thread will be about the ablum. In other words, the thread title is just click bait.

Are you serious??? I think it's abundantly clear that the tribute video is a retrospective about their relationship. I mean, do you find the video title, "Oui Can Luv" Album Used For Tribute Video :::::: " 2 people in love, with nothing but the road ahead... ," somehow ambiguous???

In case you are unfamiliar with the concept of metaphors, disch, my "ignore button" statement was metaphorical.

Yes, when the thread title states "Oui Can Love" album used for tribute video. I expect it to be about the album and/or tribute video, NOT about their relationship. Not about what they were wearing. Not about "why oh why did it end so soon".

I thought the thread was about both the album and their relationship. The person who created the video meant it as a tribute to them as a couple.

The subtitle of the video is "2 people in love, with nothing but the road ahead," which is a lyric taken from Prince's "Rocknroll Loveaffair." Given that, what did you expect the thread to be about? And, what in the world is wrong with discussing what they were wearing??? There has always been a fascination about Prince's attire. Sheesh.

Again, "Oui Can Love" album used for tribute video. One would expect it to be about the Oui Can Love album.

It wasn't just about what they wearing, but WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE ALBUM?

And it wasn't just about what they wearing, but "She was wearing another one of his shirts".

Then the discussion goes on to talk about everything BUT the "Oui Can Love" album.

Of course you can't, because you don't like hearing the truth. The title of the thread is "Oui Can Love" album used for tribute video. In other words, the album that was used for the tribute video, NOT THEIR RELATIONSHIP. And you are an expert on trolling. So right back atcha.

I thought the thread was created for the Prince & Andy tribute video celebrating their relationship that is set to the OCL album not the album itself.

No, benni, you are just flat-out wrong. And, you are being a meddling busybody.

A meddling busybody? Please explain how you get that? I'm commenting on a PUBLIC forum, on threads that are open to the public. Meddling defined is "to involve oneself in a matter without right or invitation; interfereofficiously and unwantedly". If you did not want someone to "involve oneself" then why post on a PUBLIC forum? The whole intent of posting on a public forum, threads open for discussion, is that you are "INVITING" others to respond.

The TITLE OF THE THREAD is "Oui Can Love" album used for tribute video, the tribute video is "2 people in love..." If you had wanted the thread to be about the tribute video, then title it appropriately. Such as, "New Tribute Video which chronicles Andy's and Prince's relationship" ... See the difference?

You do realize that is a lyric in the song, that's all.

But the tribute video is set to the Oui Can Love album so I think that should have been mentioned. The video is made up of a series of photos of them as a couple.

Yes pink, but the thread title itself states it is about the album that was used for the tribute video. And many of the photos are on stage or in public appearances, not their private lives.

The whole point I was trying to make to Fly, was that she stated if someone doesn't like a thread or person, scroll past them. I like the "Oui Can Love" album, thought the tribute video was pretty nice, expected that is what the thread would be about, but instead it's pages of his relationship with Andy, what he or she was wearing (each other's clothes), their appearances together at this and that function, and why oh why did they end so soon....and really was not about the Oui Can Love album or about the tribute video.

That is why it makes it difficult for people to scroll past threads that would otherwise hold no interest for them. The thread title says it's about this, but the posts says it's about that. (If you noticed, I didn't post in that thread.) I have no desire to discuss his relationship with Andy or any of his other women. I started to read it and then saw it twist and turn as all threads relating to Andy do.

Again, it's a public forum. I'm not trying to get anything "shut down". If I were trying to get it shut down, I would just report it. And yes, I'm not typing that title out over and over again. Everyone can read the thread title at the actual thread. I did watch the tribute, thank you very much. But I have no desire to discuss his relationship with Andy. If the thread were actually about the album, or even the tribute video, then maybe I would participate, but as always, it evolved into something else entirely and has nothing to do with album or the tribute video itself. And I didn't TELL YOU to title thread...I was showing the difference between how the reality of the title with the actual subject matter, will make a difference in whether people choose to scroll past it, as you have suggested they do. So WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ANYONE TO SCROLL PAST A THREAD ON A PUBLIC FORUM??

Where does it say that? The thread title says that the Oui Can Luv album was used to make a video called, "2 People in Luv, with nothing but the road ahead." In other words, the thread is about the video that was set to the music of the album. In it's broadest sense, the thread is about the album, the video, and "2 people in luv." What's wrong with that? Can't you see how offensive you are being right now?

That is why it makes it difficult for people to scroll past threads that would otherwise hold no interest for them. The thread title says it's about this, but the posts says it's about that. (If you noticed, I didn't post in that thread.) I have no desire to discuss his relationship with Andy or any of his other women. I started to read it and then saw it twist and turn as all threads relating to Andy do.

Got it. Since you don't have interest in their relationship and are interested in solely the music,you watched the video and didn't comment. Those of us interested in both commented accordingly. Some of us noted that he/they looked happy in some of the photos which lead to other discussion about their relationship.

Again, it's a public forum. I'm not trying to get anything "shut down". If I were trying to get it shut down, I would just report it. And yes, I'm not typing that title out over and over again. Everyone can read the thread title at the actual thread. I did watch the tribute, thank you very much. But I have no desire to discuss his relationship with Andy. If the thread were actually about the album, or even the tribute video, then maybe I would participate, but as always, it evolved into something else entirely and has nothing to do with album or the tribute video itself. And I didn't TELL YOU to title thread...I was showing the difference between how the reality of the title with the actual subject matter, will make a difference in whether people choose to scroll past it, as you have suggested they do. So WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ANYONE TO SCROLL PAST A THREAD ON A PUBLIC FORUM??

If that's the case, once you discovered that the thread was discussing Prince and Andy's relationship, why not just move on? What is so difficult about that concept for you to understand??? Good grief!!

As I said, I did not participate in the thread. You TOLD people here that if a thread or the subject of the thread doesn't interest them, then scroll right past. However, when the thread titles say it is about one thing, but then the subject matter of the thread is about something else, it's not easy to "scroll" right past on the topics that don't interest you. What do you not understand about that?
