Watch out for anyone who says "Vandals" ruined the D.C. Reflecting Pool, or that the 2020 Election
was stolen...or media outlets that have to pay $787M for knowingly lying about that 2020 election...etc., etc.
...and Who the Heck is 'Sasha Sergeivna'?? ;-)
OK, You've earned your designation.
Under the advisement of several reputable people, you are hereby placed on Ignore.
Dismissed.
Your call...but no one has yet proven I've lied about anything, nor proven me wrong on an issue...so
it's a mystery as to why you would choose to avoid exchanging views. For others, I repeat my encouragement to challenge me on any issue...that's what a Forum is meant to be.
I think that we all know the answer.

What is the solution?

***Since they may be paid for each response they get, I'd rec "Ignore" if you suspect a propagandist
If a large enough number of people do it, they would move elsewhere.
A payment system for such a service might be as simple as the propagandist submitting pro-agenda posts with responses from regular posters showing them that the message has gotten out.
You'd think that those PACs throwing around money would want to know the effectiveness of the propagandists that they hire, but I doubt that they even follow it more than very loosely.
If they did, I think that the issue that you are wondering about here would have already been solved.
Agreed.
No more benefit of the doubt.
It would explain why someone would repeatedly protest being "ignored"....which has happened.
It becomes really important to someone when it affects their pocketbook.
LOL...Baron, you sure spend a lot of time commenting on my posts, while claiming to "Ignore" me...I
suspect that most, if not all, posters know you're not really "ignoring" what I have to say...you just don't want to have to defend yourself...especially after my proof of your own falsehoods with documented thread copies. That's plain cowardice on your part...and shameful behavior for anyone, much less a physician.
Great perspective. Convincing.
Every response is money in their pocket. I just put a subscription hawker on Ignore as well.
Thanks for the advice.
Hint: I have two posters on ignore
Problem solved
I 'm sold.
I have been guilty of giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks for the input. Too many other good people have also advised me to pull the plug.
My solution is don’t read his links. If he has points, just write down them in his posts. No links.

Actually, this is good advice in general.
There are several posters that like to post a subject like "This is interesting" or "Great song for a Friday" and then the body of the post is nothing but a link. No context, no details. That's just a lazy, ineffective engagement strategy.
If the original poster can't be bothered to provide context why would I even consider wasting my time opening the link?
That's an easy pass for me.
You E-Z-Passing on some posts is not a bad thing. Be true to yourself.
The subject line does not have enough characters to customize an "engagement strategy" to suit your personal interest.
Some feel a message explanation on a "Friday Song" would be overkill.
To each his own. It's all good.
LOL…but it’s Okay to read Hensou’s and BVZ’s links?…talk about Censorship and hiding from the Truth
(no message)
You’re not interested in finding the truth. You’re only interested in finishing your job. Your links
Are so disrespectful to other posters. You know that.
LOL...I'm disrespectful? ;-)...have you seen the ad hominems thrown my way over the last 5+ years?
My all time favorite is Baron calling me a "Serpent Tongue" ;-)...you might want to broaden your search for posters who offend others.
I not only post from highly respected sources, like the New England Journal of Medicine, 'FactCheck', Politico, NYT, WaPo, etc....BUT, I also read other posters' links from FOX, or Right Wing videos...I don't ignore them, because they provide opportunities for substantive feedback that often refutes their claims...happens nearly all the time.
ad hominems is beyond discussion. I’m not admin, not in a position to comment that.
(no message)
Although you tried, you can't avoid the fact that ad hominems are definitely 'Disrespectful', so you
should make a point of calling out all those who employ them...including virtually every Trump supporter on this Forum...Right?
You and Trump have the same relationship with truth
(no message)
Prove it.

Put them on ignore and don’t feed into the crap they spew. It’s amazing how much cleaner the
Board is when you don’t have to see those posts. Honestly, the worst thing you can do to people like that is not give them your time. It a a lost cause. You’ll never change an opinion on anything, especially when it comes to politics.
Stands to Reason.
I have done so as advised by you and several other reputable posters.
Tyrone is perfect example of this

Really?...;-)...pretty hard to 'Propagandize' when you use lots of links to reputable sources that
have never been forced to pay $787M for knowingly lying...as well as providing full uncut videos and verifiable quotes...i.e. The Truth...while your sources support and parrot those outright lies.
Best way to see if someone on this Forum is being a Propagandist is to challenge and debate them on the Veracity of their posts...which you have never done...feel free to challenge me right now, on anything you wish...otherwise, you bring your own veracity into question, Coley.
And yet you manage. You are overpaid, since no one trusts you, and your links are always off point.
(no message)
Give me an example or two of links that are off-point...and do you consider a link to an NEJM study
of Masking that addresses a thread topic on that issue..."Off Point"?...if so, that's not my problem...talk to Baron about that one...he's probably still 'smarting' about it.
If you ever care to backup your accusations, feel free to share with everyone. Those of us who
aren't MAGA supporters of Trump, will continue to expose the damage he's doing to our country.y..and the rest of the world. Learn to accept it...and hopefully learn the truth along the way.
Yes. In the long run, it will destroy (or at least diminish) the Open.
People are already afraid of being doxxed, and are starting to try to post more anonymously. This lessens the sense of community as people hide details like where they live, when they graduated ND, etc.
Meanwhile, NIL etc. will end up diminishing interest on the Footy... at least for those who cheer for the Irish for reasons other than the standard reasons people cheer for professional teams.
Signs point to yes. More jobs to be replaced by AI.
