What should I do about obnoxious Republican?
This morning I asked for help finding Republican jokes. Well, I listed some...and they were good ones. This person: a woman? a lesbian? I don't know, but it's supposed to be a board dedicated to the lesbian tv show The L Word. Well, "she" posted more Democrat jokes and I glanced at them and one was disparaging to Wes Clark, my candidate. I am thinking I will just ignore it.

Also, the thread in question is "my thread." Should I leave my thread even though I really like it? I feel that if I engage with more remarks she'll continue to escalate.

If you have a password for the Showtime boards you can see what is going on here:

The fighting is on the last two pages.

1. Lot of rethug jokes here ...
Art too. Steal away.

Three Republican men died and went to Heaven. They were standing outside the gates, and Saint Peter was giving away different transportation things to everyone, depending on how faithful they were to their spouse.

Well the first one walked up, and Saint Peter said, "You sleep with other girls all the time, so I`m going to give you a pair of tennis shoes." So he gives him his shoes and he goes on into Heaven. Then the next guy comes up, and Saint Peter says to him, "You have been pretty faithful to your wife, but you were also bad some, so I`m going to give you a skateboard." So he gave him the skateboard and he went on into Heaven, just like the first.

Then the third one got up and Saint Peter said, "You have been really faithful to your wife and been with her whenever you could, so I`m going to give you a car. What type of vehicle would you like?" "A Hummer" exclaims the last Republican. A brand new Hummer suddenly appears and Saint Peter holds up the keys.

The guy, really excited, grabs the keys and drives into Heaven. He pulls up to one of his buddies and starts bragging about his brand new Hummer when his wife goes skating by on her skateboard.

2. I would leave it be...
No use in continuing a fight on a forum. It all comes down to pleasing the ego and who feels like they need to feed it more. Just post that she/he/it won and she is absolutely "right".

3. Thanks for the advice
I'm just going to let it be. This thread I started is too important to ruin. I've got young women wondering if they are gay, wondering how to tell if a woman likes her back, wondering if she should make some kind of pass, wondering if she should come out, wondering how to find out more about lesbianism, wondering what to do about the husband, etc. I really don't want to shut it down. Or make it into a big fight.
