A way to stop or inhibit Disruptors on your thread - simply say;

[symbolman]

"Refusal to discuss the subject of this Post leaves me no option but to no longer respond to you."

Then YOU have nothing more to say (other than ABOUT the SUBJECT at hand), the more they protest, or try to load up big graphics, choke the thread, the worse they look. It becomes Obvious to others, and you have not lost everyone's respect.

Don't ARGUE, just REFUSE to respond, and stick to it. :)

[symbolman]

3. Sorry

"Refusal to discuss the subject of this Post leaves me no option but to no longer respond to you."

You're trying to make this ALL About ME, and I can't have that :)

My people! My Friends!

Good to hear from you, let's all take the higher ground, we've been here long enough to remember when the DU was ONE BODY, filled with LOVE, when grown men were crying, Policemen were turning in their badges, birds Flew Backwards in those days..

And we were a FORCE to be reckoned with :)

Love ya guys, and gals :)

[havocmom]

10. Can I have what symbolman is drinking?

birds flew backwards?

:rofl:

Seriously, thanks for the great strategy tip for dealing with twits and trolls. I suppose you don't wanna respond to me now.

P.S. Glad to see ya around campus. Was worried there for a bit. You mean a great deal to many more than you know :hug:

[symbolman]

13. What I have

is illegal in 14 continents all over the world..

Wait a minute, that would be SEVEN continents, right? Oops.

I used to have a rule, if I was drinking and there were more than 32 balls on the pool table, it was time to go home :)

Good to see you too!

[Rex]

15. hmmm

Did you mean to respond to yourself - because if you did that is awesome! I refuse to discuss your apparent refusal to discuss any subject and you leave me no other option but to teleport your atoms out into space!!! :crazy:

[symbolman]

18. I guess it beats

being wished into a cornfield :)

Wait, that's Bush's job, the Evil Little Kid that he is..

Teleportation was considered cool in the future, until those damn teenagers started messing with them, hacking the code - then when they came home their parents didn't recognize them, they'd turned into someone else, at least the ones that didn't come through the teleporter INSIDE OUT, that is.. :)

[Rex]

19. Eww...

:) 'Clean up in teleporter 5'.

[symbolman]

21. How'd ya like to have THAT Job?!

Be worse than mopping up in the peep show.. more slippery anyway :)

[Rex]

25. I dunno, slipping and falling down into a pool of semen or

a smorgasbord of organs and guts? They better give me good health insurance! :)

[TahitiNut]

4. Why does your mother wear combat boots?

:silly:

I see you've not responded to ANYONE in this thread yet. :evilgrin:

[symbolman]

6. I don't know

we didn't BURY her in them, wonder how she got them.. :)

Yeah, she's dead, but she would have laughed at that one, which is so old the last time I heard that one it was so funny I kicked the slats out of my crib :)

You got me there!

[helderheid]

5. Refusal to discuss the subject of this Post leaves me no option but to no longer respond to you.

[BeHereNow]

8. I refuse to discuss anything with anyone! Especially with the likes of the posters here.

Furthermore, I intend to alert the mods of this thread.

BHN

[symbolman]

11. I'd respond to that

If I wasn't so heavily medicated... :)

[BeHereNow]

14. Not to worry, I would not respond to your respond, medicated or not.

So THERE!
MODS????
This poster is attacking me.
Alert! Alert!

[DemDem07]

12. I knew you'd say that!

;)

[symbolman]

16. A psychic eh?

Seems to be a Lot of them on the DU lately, they KNOW what you're going to SAY and respond IN ADVANCE :)

What I need a Psychic Bartender :)

Welcome to the DU if you haven't been welcomed yet..

[BeHereNow]

17. 9 eleven, ART students, Israel, Olmert...Palestine!

I KNEW that's where you were taking this thing.
Off to the dungeon with you and your lack of responses!
BHN

[symbolman]

20. There are Conspiracy nuts

Behind Every BUSH these days :)

Or like I love to tell REpigs, "Jesus, YOU see conspiracy nuts EVERYWHERE, don't you!"

[BeHereNow]

22. Through the bottom of the glass...

I SEE them!
EVERYWHERE!
Oh, damn, I just responded.
BHN:mad:

[DemDem07]

23. Thank You

A double shot of drambuie for you sir.

[symbolman]

28. Psychics AND Fairies now?

What the hell kind of Bar is this? Or is it?

Whoa, is THIS the Right McDonalds?!

[Speck Tater]

24. It's easier than that. Just dont' post ANY reply and move on. (nt)

[BeHereNow]

26. N/T

bhn

[symbolman]

27. I just did that

did you see it? :)

I don't think it's possible to NOT respond in some way, to me this a Way to let yourself COOL off, while still feel like you are doing something ABOUT the slam to you.. too easy to type type type and then BOOM, hit that button, when you KNOW you shouldn't have..

[Rex]

29. You're so bad!

Stop typing, series!!!

[firefox_fan]

30. How about putting the offender on Ignore?

[symbolman]

32. But then HOW would they KNOW?

And how would YOU know if they're still talking shit about you? C'mon, you don't want to KNOW? :)

I'd consider the statement a warning ticket, actually..

[firefox_fan]

38. Nah, not worth your time, really...

[troubleinwinter]

31. You think I'm gonna sit still for this?

[symbolman]

33. HEY!

DO NOT Mess with the "Enlightened MOOSE", NEVER, never, never!

I won't mess with your doggie, deal? :)

[troubleinwinter]

34. Well, OK,

since you did respond to me.

Aint my doggie, anyway. Andy's little 'Ballot'.

My dog is vey ugly. I don't show him.

[symbolman]

35. I had an ugly dog once

we just shaved it's ass and taught it to walk backwards :)

Then again, I was so ugly as a kid that my mom had to tie a porkchop to my head to get the dog to play with me..

I would NEVER mess with the Lil Andy Doggie, never..

[troubleinwinter]

37. Since you reached out to me

to discuss issues other than your original post, I'll show you my ugly dog. But only a tiny picture so it won't break your eyes.

[symbolman]

44. MiGOD!

Looks like both your dog and Babs Bush share the same disease, that Graves thing? Is he/she alright, or just surprised?

To be honest I had two pugs a few years back, I LOVE ugly dogs, they don't take on no "airs" :)

How many small pictures can you fit in your wallet? :)

[troubleinwinter]

45. Is he alright?

Well, not really. He is kind of a butt. He is 14, but I don't think he's ever really seen me. When he is seemingly looking straight at me, he is actually staring at both side walls simultaneously. A butt... my mother says that if we unzip him, 27 devils will spill out.

[symbolman]

48. LOL!

You know they make little dogs like that so that they can see AROUND CORNERS, in case of attack, or for defense :)

I LOVE them little tough guys, rapscalians, rogues, sweethearts inside :)

Love the description!

[troubleinwinter]

49. Every day he has a pig ear

for an hors d' houvre. He has been learning his fractions: he's up to two & a quarter hotdogs per night as a bedtime snack. I keep thinking such a diet will kill him, but it hasn't worked so far.

[symbolman]

54. Well

He DOES Look IRISH, and you just can't Kill 'em :) Lord knows I've tried, but my mother's maiden name was Irish to the max, and your dog looks just like my Uncle, did he fight the Nazis? I mean 14 in dogs years would put him in Patton's group in WW2 wouldn't it?

Gotta Love those eyes, reminds me of a goldfish :)

[Swamp Rat]

51. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[troubleinwinter]

52. I think you're hijacking symbolman's thread.

I isn't about laughing at 'funnies', it's about my horrid dog, Eddie.

[Swamp Rat]

53. You should feed him alligator sausage.

It'd pep him up a bit, and you could share.

You gave me anb idea... maybe I should hijack this thread. :evilgrin:

Ships ahoy mates!!!

[symbolman]

64. Hey

don't they eat all the other sausages until there's only the biggest one left? :)

Ahoy Matey, welcome aboard!

[Swamp Rat]

68. THANK GOD!!!

... you responded. :D :hi:

Btw, how can I get a signed copy of your book when it comes out? ;)

[symbolman]

69. You'll be one of the first my friend

I'll be sure to Spam you with it when it's out :)

What the hell was the deal with that anyway? Did you rise from the Dead on the DU?! :)

[Marrah_G]

36. I refuse to respond to this post!

[symbolman]

43. Givin' me that

Soccer Mom stare? Worked for Brando :)

[Marrah_G]

58. Careful there bub, I have a minivan, and I'm not afraid to use it!

[symbolman]

63. NO SUV?

Jesus, take a look out there, haven't you seen the latest ads? They talk about the HYBRID that FEELS Like and SUV!

Whatever the hell that means :)

[Marrah_G]

65. You can fit WAYYY more mini attack bots...errr children, in a minivan!

[EFerrari]

39. So, no answer. Still waiting.

:rofl:

Great idea!

[symbolman]

42. I'm sorry

I was watching tv, did you say something? ;)

I even put the wife and kid on Ignore when something good is on the tube :)

[mvd]

40. Remember, you can always alert us mods

State a clear reason and we will check it out.

[symbolman]

41. Why thank you

we know you're busy though, especially when the emotions run high and so I was trying to figure out a way to put the Kibosh on some of the folks that don't realize that Gore is talking to them, when he wrote his latest book :)

We appreciate what you do, and do you guys take the cash through paypal, or just in odd numbered ones? :)

Well, you SHOULD be paid, somehow :)

[mvd]

60. Thanks for the kind words

I'm reading DU a lot anyway and enjoy modding, so I don't mind the lack of pay. :-)

[Xenotime]

46. Ooooo passive aggressive...how original...

And whatever your opinion is.........Refusal to discuss the subject of this Post leaves me no option but to no longer respond to you.

[symbolman]

56. It works

See how I didn't respond to your provocation there..

Hey, wait a minute..

[David Zephyr]

47. Nice!

Good advice!

[symbolman]

57. Thanks my friend

I just had another idea..

Let's all WRITE to our Congressman (or Woman) and tell them,

"If you refuse try and end this war, I will have no choice but to Vote for the OTHER GUY.."

Simple, elegant, brutal in their politico eyes.

What "other guy" you might ask? Let THEM figure that out :)

[dEMOK]

50. Just say...

...fuck you. If you want me to respond -- give me some substance to to.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

55. And then there's the NUCLEAR option.

Make that line your sig.

[MaryBear]

59. Oh MAN, symbolman!

Does this mean I have to stay on topic?

I LOVE getting off topic.

Besides, I have an insatiable need to make idiots wrong.

Good suggestion, though.

Funny thread for a serious topic.

[opihimoimoi]

61. You Da Man guy....You iz Da Man

[symbolman]

66. No

YOU da Man! :)

Gonna have to head to your part of the Islands again at some point!

[opihimoimoi]

67. Come, we go eat

:smoke:

[SoCalDem]

70. You are too polite.. I just don't respond and I don't even tell them I won't
