Sometimes it gets to the point where you have to filter some users
because so many of their posts are just needling people you may already
have filtered. I have a few in mine because they are only here to
hassle Kuthe. That is how Ofeelme got to be one of the first to go in
my filter. I had filtered Peter Lucas because he was exceptionally
offensive and profane. Then she would reply to every single post form
Lucas, quote the entire post, sometimes more than 100 lines of text, and
then add a clueless comment at the end saying that his post was
offensive. When I told her I would filter her if she kept doing that I
would filter her too. Then she whined that I can't tell who can reply
to. She was right. She can post to whoever she wants, but she ended up
in the filter with her Lucas.
