but it does make it hard to find the kind of threads I'm interested in....

Use the "mute sub" button under any post of theirs. Problem solved. I am actually constantly talking with their admins about posts there.

I don't know why you want to give the ADL a platform though, when you claim to be against it, and why you react so strongly to anyone who says not to give them more publicity. I thought we're both on the same team of not liking the ADL?

I really try on this site to be respectful, If I see a post, or a sub I don't like, unless I think I can add anything to it, I leave it alone. If there's a thread that I don't like, but I participate in as an opposing viewpoint, I try to make a legitimate argument as to why I don't agree.

Yet, I see on this site, all to often, 'one offs', or 'quiffs' that amount to nothing more than a disparaging comment; without anything backing it up. Why do that, what's the point? Make an argument that's worthy. Anyone can post, but apparently not many can follow through with their real thoughts, and why it seems.

You say, I'm promoting the ADL by making their Orwellian decries known on Saidit... So, my 2 questions to you: Considering many people are clueless to the ADL, or what it even is, and the power they yield, what is accomplished by ignoring an institution that carries serious weight in the government, works to label, and list innocent hard working people as haters by default?

Where should our focus be?

I just think we should ignore things that deserve to be ignored, that's all. The ADLs opinion only matters because people give it attention. I think ignoring it is the best way to disempower these people. They feed off your outrage and use it to promote themselves. But in reality they're just a group of people saying something. We can ignore them completely, they have no real power.

they have no real power.

Okay?! LOL
