Arnold F. Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Sorry, not really a sound question! Is there a way to block someone from posting in your thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Arnold: " When does it stop? " I don't believe I have PM'ed you since... and " Is there a way to block someone from posting in your thread? " I don't believe so... once you start a thread, it is up for discussion, as you yourself said, when you attacked Eric's thread... it is not your personal thread, it is a discussion you began... although you don't seem to be able to accept the same as you dish out... even though you don't seem to visit here for much else, please remember, this is not a commerce site...

Malcolm Davies Amps CAS Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Arnold! I don't think you can block anyone from posting on your thread. You can however block the member so that you don't see any posts at all from said person. If you click on your name at the top of the page and go to my settings a list appears on the left and one of these (Ignore preferences) will allow you to enter the name you want to ignore I just hope it's not me. Malcolm Davies. A.m.p.s. CAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 This is a tough room Arnold so deal with it. While Senator can be annoying, he comes with the territory and he does help to separate the men from the boys. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he has super powers and can bust through any blocking software. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 A suitable quantity of high explosives can help. Blocking is the way to go. Helps keep one's sanity. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEndian Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ha, Eric is right. The Senator is like our crazy old uncle. Crazy like a fox. Also he has super powers and can bust through any blocking software. CrewC I think the Senator kind of grows on you. Also, we're all adults here and yet it's still easy to get sucked into unproductive arguments. I try (and sometimes fail miserably) to think of posting not as convincing other people of my particular view, but simply to express my view and answer any arguments against it. Sounds similar I know, but the difference is that you have to realize when all of your points have been made, and then excuse yourself. The worst thing is to have two people who repeat the same arguments without either actually listening to the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I've known Mike a long time and that tempers my POV about him I suppose. He's a good man doing things his way. You can block yourself from reading him, (I guess that's how it works), but there is a good chance you'll miss something besides "it depends"....

David Lezynski Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Mike, in my opinion, is a gift. He exhibits all the seemingly irrational and psycho behavior of our producers/clients. He is here to train us and to make us better negotiators in our increasingly psycho working environment. Mike is a low risk exercise in achieving our needs. Embrace his contradictory, irascible, but wise opinions and we shall understand ourselves better so that we may succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 You can block yourself from reading him, (I guess that's how it works), but there is a good chance you'll miss something besides "it depends".... CrewC While that might have been true in days of past, his positive contributions have been replaced almost exclusively by annoying and self-serving posts which contribute nothing. I like Mike as person in real life, but I have grown tired of his posts here very tired. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I confess, I did it... I killed Arnold's thread. I've tried to deal with this, and I've gotten some good advice from Congress people, like Jesse Jackson Jr, Patrick Kennedy, Anthony Weiner, and Trey Radel... While I'm not resigning, I will be entering Internet Rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEndian Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Wait really, though. Is the senator all that bad? We can all be rather obnoxious at times. Worse, we can be obstinate, vindictive, egotistical, and even childish. And maybe I haven't been here long enough, but I've never felt any hostility or malice coming from the senator. And I bet he feels it all the time coming from us. I get it. He's annoying, and maybe he doesn't think about how what he says might offend another person. But maybe it's just a reminder for us to keep each other's good intentions in mind and listen to each other properly, and also to be more considerate about what we say, particularly if our humor is, let's say, uncommon. I don't mean to chastise, or to suggest that there's a problem here. Just that its good to keep in mind for a great community such as ours. Also, thank you, JW, for putting it together. -James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Toline Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 At least we all know who he is, you on the other hand choose to hide your identity while you whine and complain about trivial, insignificant issues of no value. No identity equals no credibility. Given the choice I'll take Senator every time. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Spaeth Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 You're taking things way too personal and seriously, Arnold, and because of that you try to shoot back on a personal level. Not cool in my opinion. This is just a forum, not real life. Take it, use the ignore function, or leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think jwsoundgroup is a lot more than that, and facilitating some occassional commerce amongst participating members is just a little extra feature.
