You say you've been here since 99. That means you're at least my age. This rant has to be a joke or I kinda feel sorry for you.

Look I hate half the people on here. I don't care how they react to things I say. I don't know them. If you really are such an alpha dog, why would you care one bit?

I don't know you and couldn't care less what you've posted in the past. Is this for real? This has to be done sort of inside joke I'm missing.

Can’t you already block others from interacting with your posts. They can’t reply or react (thumbs up, eye roll).
