I, for one, would find it unbearably obnoxious to face a "warning screen" or "pop-up window" EVERY SINGLE BLEEPING TIME I want read a post in Rants and Raves. I also note that Rants and Raves-type comments frequently are found on other types of threads as well. For example, this thread is in "Lap Band Talk Lounge." So I don't think a "Warning Page" would solve anything.
I find it shocking that people feel that they need protection from a little robust bantering. Frankly, I'm embarrassed for anyone who feels that way. I think you are being ridiculous.

Fortunately, when this type of thing has come up before, the owner of this site has had the wisdom to tell people, in essence, to "get over it," and to just ignore anything you are not interested in. I fervently hope he continues with that approach.

Write on!!! :ranger:

Come on seriously, we each need to take responsibility for ourselves. If it offends you don't read it. It is like those people that blame tv for their children's bad actions. Uhm, like hello, there is such a thing as turning the channel or turning the tv (or whatever, for that matter) off. Now really..

Should have an ignore feature is at 39.29% behind left as is at 46.43%.. The ignore feature should be within you, if you don't want to read it, then ignore it.

ousooner (by the way, hi, how you doin'?) I want to let you know that this is not what it seems. Someone started another thread with the same suggestion of blocking/hiding rants and raves, and after a few rounds back and forth, I posted a link to this thread so people could see that the topic had been discussed before. A few more posts have been made to this thread. That's about it. This thread sort of got resurrected by accident. I agree, it would be good to move on.
