What if everytime you read a post by someone clearly trying to incite a flame war by being overly racist, leftist, Anti-US, Anti-Serb, rightist, whatever....

you just ignored it..... (this is difficult at first)...

How long would they keep writing to no one?...really?

I truly believe some people need attention so bad they find it on the internet. By getting pissed you give them the attention they crave.

They have a right to their opinion...we have a right to ignore it.

I just don't think this is possible. Now, if you were in a group of real people, things would be different.

The problem is they'd just keep writing it to each other and pollute every thread and the entire forum...

someone will always answer, newbie someone who has been affected, whatever, some people have better resons to respond that outweigh keeping this forum clean of racial flame wars.

Newbie here. :|

That does sound like a sound idea.

The only problem is I see too many bad comments that I just HAVE to respond back to!

I don't know, the forums are a place to put your feelings and thoughts out there. To discuss and argue points of contention.

Freedom of speech.

you absolutely can't respond to the culprits' flames simply because they are trolling for your reply. DON'T FEED THE TROLLS! they are impervious to logic and reasoning, so there is no point in arguing with them. just don't respond. it's that simple.
