I agree with the others that I'm so thankful for this web site. As a parent, if you have a rebellious child you know they test the "waters" to see how far they can go. I think ignoring the post's is the most effective because they are not getting the response that they are wanting. Blocking them only makes a game of it.

It doesn't matter where you go on the Internet, there is always someone waiting to push someone's button. It's part of the Internet experience..... I suspect that not many Babblers out here expect you to monitor every post, every minute of every day.

Sometimes it turns into cat-and-mouse, and sometimes the mouse is determined, and resourceful. Also, the more blocking I do, the more innocent people get blocked. I'm especially sorry about that, but in my opinion it might be the lesser of two evils.
