I think Superrific means well, but you could post that the sky is blue and they would respond with a 10 page essay about why you are totally wrong.

No I wouldn't. I amplify views of other posters that I think are correct. I also learn from discussion with other posters and have changed my views upon learning those things, sometimes.

But if you say the sky is green, yes, I will explain why you are wrong. I could just say, "you're wrong" and leave it at that, but how does that help anyone? Monty Python's argument sketch is sarcastic for a reason
 
I don't see the need for the ignore feature. My understanding is that things were so brutally tough that Confederate soldiers would pick the undigested corn out of horse manure and eat it to keep from starving. Who knows when there might be a kernel of something worthwhile in their posts? besides, I'm retired, old, bored and stoned. I have time to play with them.

Emotionally immature people lack certain emotional and social skills and have trouble relating to other adults. Some behaviors can be a signal that you’re dealing with an emotionally immature person:




Impulsive behavior. Children are often impulsive. They speak out of turn or touch things that they shouldn’t touch. They say things without thinking about how they’ll affect other people. Over time, people learn not to do those things. Emotionally immature adults haven’t learned to curb their impulses. They act in unpredictable or antisocial ways.




Demanding attention. Young children get bored when people don’t pay attention to them. They’ll do things to draw the focus back to themselves, even if that means acting out in negative ways. Emotionally immature adults often do the same. They might not act out in negative ways, but they may inject themselves into conversations or crack inappropriate jokes to get everyone’s attention.




Name-calling and bullying. In general, adults don’t resort to schoolyard tactics when they relate to other adults. You seldom see two adults calling each other mean names. Someone who behaves like a mean kid in school is not using mature emotional tactics. Instead, they are relying on childlike displays of temper.
