I am fine with whatever you believe Kevin. Just get happy. My opinion is just none of your business as I do not need anyone to endorse my believes.

Re: [Vo]:how to filter out users in Gmail
And yet, you try to knock others' beliefs out of Vortex because you're so insecure in your own beliefs. Typical of a strategic follower rather than a strategic leader.

If only we could have ways of filtering out idiotic comments, then Vortex-L would take off in terms of popularity.

Vortex is moderated, but only very lightly. The list relies heavily upon the self-discipline of members to keep a courteous tone and to moderate the amount of their own contributions.

This is just an ideal, and it is not always observed. Sometimes weeks or months can go by where a user or two will have their way with the forum, posting a string of flamebait and personal attacks and trying to wrench discussions in the direction of their own choosing. This strategy is obviously not an effective one for winning people to one's point of view.

The best strategy to keep the signal to noise ratio high and to avoid getting caught up in arguments during such periods is filter out the emails of the problematic individuals. In Gmail, this can be done by setting up a filter. There are different options, and one is to have emails from certain email addresses automatically marked as read, so that they do not grab your attention. If enough people do this, the people imposing on the list may get the hint and either moderate their participation or go away on their own. Eric
