Each post only bumps up an irksome thread (if you found it irksome). I'd rather ignore the troubling thread and watch it disappear into the bowels of PC. It's one of the few times in life where ignoring something really does make it go away--a kind of fantasy fulfillment for me.

sometimes I find it hard to ignore the irksome threads, though, even if I don't respond....sometimes because the back and forth is sort of entertaining! as long as nothing gets too out of hand, that is.....
but true, not all arguments are productive ..... and if a thread is a non-productive argument, and it doesn't seem valuable to me to get drawn into the debate, or actually gets me feeling more heated/triggered than is healthy, I step away from that thread.....
