[QUOTE="witzend, post: 152333, member: 99"] To an extent I agree, and if only it were that simple. I just can't stand to see people get sucked in over and over and over again with long explanations and hearts and flowers. It's upsetting to me to see a post with 800 hits on it and it's the same old same old that we have been telling that person for a year, because they asked for our advice and then ignored it. Ignoring them only works if everyone ignores them. Otherwise we are all by our presence being used to bolster up that person (seemingly) because they get a kick out of all the attention. The attention itself needs to stop, as well, in those cases. I can't make other people stop writing any more than I can stop that type of person from asking for our advice and ignoring it. It's kind of like getting crank phone calls or evangelical chain spam. As much as I would like to, I just can't ignore it. [/QUOTE]
