Borys, does that poor woman know that you're a detestable Republican? I keed, I keed.
The problem is that the people running the forum want an open door policy as opposed to a "cream of the crop" policy. So as long as you're going to welcome just anyone with open arms, you're going to get the obnoxious people who couldn't cut it at GAF, because we're not a disgusting hive of scum and villainy like OA.
Ignoring doesn't work. Never has. People should be able to conform to some minimum standards of decorum, politeness and non-douchebaggery, especially the generally low standards we have at EB. (i.e. say whatever you want but be funny about it) But whatever, I've long advocated making this place more of an elitists haven than a place that welcomes just anyone. The people in charge aren't interested tho, so bitching really accomplishes nothing. Sadly.
