There are a couple of posters here who I don't talk "to" only 'about" They and everyone else already know who they are. There are a few more who I just skip over, and although the place would be better off without them, and actually the board is a better place whenever they cross the line and get put into "time out", but board trolls are hardly a new thing here, nor do I expect this place to ever be "troll free"

There is a very good reason you can't block an alias, if you block the alias I am sure the software would require you block the "real" fake name as well, and this would defeat the entire purpose of an alias which is to remain anonymous. It would be a very simple matter to figure out who the real poster was hiding behind the alias. If they bother you so much, is it really that difficult to simply skip over them?

ust like someone who puts up a post, let’s say, complaining about those who post under an alias. Then that poster does not like the replies because no one agrees with him, they take him to task, and put him in his place, so he removes his post thereby removing the replies that he does not like. That is one of the traits of a true coward. Truly Weak and Scared.

 However, why the need for the ignore feature, it is easy enough to just not read a post.
Besides there is one poster who has proudly announced that he has put me (and others) on ignore, yet he on occasion replies to my posts, he also posts things that clearly indicate that he has read my posts

I've used that function in the past, because even some subject lines were totally obnoxious. That hasn't been so much the case lately. However, you can do what I do, 99% of the time. Don't respond to them. They want attention. Don't give it to them. And, I don't, 99% of the time respond to alias's. I've noticed some new ones on her lately. I just imagine them being righties, who due to the humiliation of spouting off about predicting Romney would win, trying to sneak back unnoticed!
