Not the only way to get rid of them.

You could keep a pet boa constrictor, or put out some rat poison. I could think of many ways to build the perfect mouse trap. It would probably turn into a Rube Goldberg though.

... and about thread-locks; I think they're lame. The lounge is the perfect place to talk about controversial subjects. Nobody is forcing anyone to read what is posted here, and nobody has to respond.

The responsibility to not be offended rests mostly with the reader. Life will always present opposition to our ideals, and it's up to the individual to maintain a peaceful spirit.

For the easily agitated, there is even an ignore function within the forum itself. I wouldn't be surprised if people people exercise that feature on my posts. Come to think of it, that might be why I mostly hear crickets after commenting. I do need to work on tact.
