I think that the best way to deal with it is to take a lesson from Jochem's posts on killfiles and filters. Control your own content and leave people to determing what works best for them. I always try to be as close to professional, or at least civil as I can be on the list, because I don't want to be looking for a gig one day and have to interview with someone I've personally berated. Personally, I wouldn't have missed the flame war between Connie and Dave for worlds!!! I'm glad I didn't see it on Friday or Saturday, as it was EXACTLY what my Monday morning needed to get me off to a laughing start! PLEASE DON'T TRY TO CENSOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT. lol
