I do not do any alerts on anyone insulting me, getting ultra-snarky, etc. I might put you on ignore, but I don't do alerts. As God is my witness, that's the truth.

Only mirt-able trolls and clear personal attacks are alert-worthy to me, but I'm not going to alert on you. However, someone else might. If I disagree intensely with you, I'm damn sure not going to alert on you, unless you say something racist, homophobic, sexist, etc. If you're a HRC supporter or Chaffee supporter or O'Malley supporter, it's all good. Let's be civil and promote our candidates POSITIVELY.

tl,dr: I'm doing my very best not to touch the alert button, and I have not alerted on anyone in days.
