Ignoring is the only way that it will happen, Molly, you're right. But the problem is that some people keep on coming back at them and can't just "ignore". Do you know that I finally turned the "ignore this person" feature on today, for the first time. I had never done that before, but probably should have. It's a great tool, only you can see all the posts where people "quote" the one I'm ignoring, so I still have to endure them.

I don't have much tolerance, so it is probably a good thing that I have no managing powers here because I'd be deleting and/or banning every time I saw a troublemaker. It is hard for me to believe that there are so many unhappy people in this world that they would and do cause trouble on a pet site, of all places!!!

And Gini, I agree. We probably miss some pretty funny and good threads by leaving them when they erupt into arguments, but my patience grows weary, quickly, like yours. Surprised at that comment? Hehehe!!!
