I’m sure Ms Maven has blocked me though I wouldn’t consider myself a full liberal or Democrat. Ms Maven has made some ridiculous posts and has sometimes spread information proven to be false. Moving to this board has enabled me to be a little more transparent with my thoughts on such matters.
As far as the ‘ignore’ function, I use it on a daily basis on this forum but my brain handles the task. There are racists on this board, people that spread disinformation, we even have an unpatriotic asshole that would torch the Constitution if it meant we get to keep Trump President For Life. I have no need to use the ignore function, I like to keep a mental note of what our racists and traitors are thinking.
Ironically when Ms Maven uses the ignore function, she’s doing what my hyper liberal 20 year old daughter used to do before I taught her some sense. At one time she supported protests against Ben Shapiro speaking at her school but ultimately she went to see him speak. I told her to listen to all sides and support the notion of free speech.
