Finding out about the block element feature on AdBlock Plus and using it to remove all the avatars people use that I hate seeing repeatedly has been amazing. No more mustache, no more irrelevant band album cover, no more Tkachuk mouth guard...

It also shortens up the page and reduces the amount of scrolling it takes past their posts.

I turned off seeing signatures for the same reason. Although I recognize that people can still see mine, which makes me a hypocrite or something I guess.

The worst. Just the worst. But I'd expect nothing less from a Vancouverian.

I turned signatures off many many years ago.

Now if there was a way, in Tapatalk, to permanently hide discussions I will NEVER participate in. Looking at you “BlueJays” thread

Well 23 years since the attack in New York. 51 years since Pinochet's coup d'etat and subsequent caravan of death in Chile. Not the nicest day in history it would seem.

Hey! Writers don't get paid a lot so if they cut some corners give them some slack!

So what you are saying is that if a mod were to change your signature on you- that you wouldn't even notice?

Noted for future reference.

This is the ultimate "old man yelling at teens to get off his lawn" story, except he was 38, and is what sounds to be the biggest coward in Alberta. "They were loitering!" "I want them scared!" You mean like you, Derek?

What a cowardly loser.

What a cowardly loser.
The ability to converse appropriately has degraded horribly in this day and age.

If I read this type of story as a kid, I'd assume the guy was middle aged and a raging alcoholic. But in this modern age, apparently it's a late 30s guy whose idea of appropriate discipline is pulling punches because he didn't actually punch them (or I guess in this case, not run them over with his vehicle).

What type of lunacy goes through your head that you'd chase people around in a vehicle and assume they know you won't mow them down?
