rushgal mcnally is the one that will be sharing same room with jj cafaro at wellington's hotel that is the lest wellington can do to save the taxpayers monies by doubling up on guests. mcnally was an honest trustworthy officeholder until he allowed the cafaro's take over his soul and his commonsense. mcnally tried to portray himself as mahoning county commissioner but the cafaro's wanted him to become their personal puppet aka like the ones in the "sound of music". rushgal has that answer the question who is MCNALLY?

 :)iwasthere..Shows how much you know about the full-moon, everyone knows it happens in the 3rd week of a lunar eclipse.
The way the earths axcel is slowing down due to all the pollution and land-fills it will now be in the 4th week;  since this is not a leap year. I am shocked with your knowledge in the planets and the earths pattern that you forgot this. 8) ;D :) ;)

rushgal nobody knows the future jail list for wellington's hotel but i do know MCNALLY's name is on the honorable mention list for the next guest to check in at the wellington's hotel at the expense of the CAFARO family. :-X ::) :-X ;D :o that is according to the full moon schedule that is posted in Almanac.

Really---If I ignore your first iwasthere then it does not count. The next full-moon will happen on the 2nd Tuesday of next week, so I will ignore you. Nobody is going to jail, except my commie neighbor :D :D :D :D

I write in several different forums. All of which have an ignore feature. I would say I have used it in about half of them. Will I use it here? Might not have to. Seems the only person I really ever felt like ignoring here might be ignoring me.

I don't think the ignore feature is a good thing.  This is just a bandaid approach trying to cover over the shortcomings of the forum moderators, who either are incapableof  or refuse to exercise control over this forum.  I participate in several other forums, most of which have more aggressive moderation.  It keeps the threads on topic and keeps name calling and personal attacks to a minimum.  I wish this forum would do the same.

The ignore feature was requested several times by users of this forum.
That is the only reason it is installed.

The only way we can clean up this forum is requiring all members to reveal themselves if they make accusations.  Otherwise, this forum will become the mudfest that is the Vindy.com, wherein cowards can sling excrement without backing up their statements.  Most of the intelligentsia here have no problem with their true identity's.

I had the same question, Rick, so I ignored Irishbobcat as a test.

I still see where his posts are and even the threads he starts but instead of content in his posts, I get a message that I'm igoring this user and a link to see the post.

I also tried quoting him which worked so I can quote without knowing the specific tagets of his name calling beforehand, and I notice that if I scroll down from this post reply window, I can read his post no problem. And what do I see? Name calling!

Basically, the ignore feature only works if you really want to ignore someone and need just a little help in the willpower dept.

I don't know if I'll ignore individuals, or not.  But I'm already ignoring the political forum.

It depends on whether or not some modicum of decorum returns to the boards here...if
things start really getting outta control, I will, sadly enough, probably use the ignore feature
so that I won't have to read the personal attacks any more when visiting the forum.

I voted "maybe".... now we'll see how things go....
