I have these two questions-

[rzemanfl]

1. At any time other than during the Olympics, is it appropriate to put an exclamation point after "USA?"

2. Does DU decorum condone telling another member you will put them on "Ignore" if they reply to your post?

Not asking for a friend. I have some errands to run now but will be interested in your responses.

1. My experience tells me you can tell people you are going to put them on ignore.

Just like you can tell someone you are trashing their thread.

However, you can ask the Admin for an official answer.

As to punctuation... I’ve seen almost everything here.

3. It's the "if you reply" part that bothers me. It seems this is supposed to be a

discussion board. My errands have been delayed.

[question everything]

4. "Discussion board" - Yea, right.

In the old days, when we could explain why we would keep or hide an alerted post - and too many would not bother - I would often say: rebut, this is a discussion board. But for too many there is only one way to post here.

And, yes, I was once told that I was on ignore. Hillary in 2006 won MA even though both senators: Kerry and Kennedy supported Obama. So I pointed this out, with glee, perhaps..

5. Those questions were about a situation I encountered that day.

Apparently a hit and run. Things definitely have changed over the years.

2. My DU decorum handbook

has gone missing. As for 'USA?", probably gonna stay for at least another 6 months or longer.

6. Two answers

1. Use the exclamation point only if you're at a Trump rally.

2. Just use "ignore." Do you really need the headache?

(wink)

7. I would go to a Drumpf rally only as a kidnapping victim.

The poster seemed to be of the hit and run variety. Pissed me off and vanished.
