5. naughty
I hate that word. Maybe it has something to do with my childhood? Beats me. I just hate that word.

11. I'm sure there's a good reason why dogs do that.
But I don't care to know the particulars, either.

17. Nope, I've never hidden a thread before.
For me, it's pretty simple. I just don't click on it, if I don't want to read it. Duh! :D

34. some thread titles gross me out
plus, like others have said above, the word 'naughty' has skeevy associations for some of us. Another thing is that on days when there are 47 threads on the same football game, if I hide them all I don't have to scroll so much. Scrolling is exhausting work, you know.

36. yeah, I totally hear ya on the football threads, actually.
I am NOT a sports fan and the scrolling thing is a hassle...

It's funny, though, I've just never gotten around to hiding a thread before. Maybe I should hide THIS one! :evilgrin: heheheh.

I've also never put anybody on Ignore before, either. There are a lot of features here on DU I don't really make use of.

I'm a basic kinda gal, I guess! :D :hi:

31. I just checked my hidden threads and there is no rhyme or reason to them
I have a handful of people on ignore so I never see any threads they start...that probably helps. Usually it's a theme for me. If there are 70 threads on the grammy's I hide them all. If there are a million on the superbowl, I hide them all. There only needs to be one thread on this shit, people.

No content and no cute pictures. Why bother?
