Your comments fall on deaf ears, siftbot. I don't have a competitive bone in my body. How do I switch this off?

Your rank has dropped by 1. You are now ranked #93. User thinker247 is now ahead of you. You can do better than thinker247, can't you? You're only 4 votes away from getting back in front of thinker247.

I think the downside of the commenting system here, is that when comments like yours get rotated to the front page, I think they mis-represent the community to the tens of thousands of visitors who pop in to check it out, each day.
Yes it is off-putting to read throw-away comments like that and I would hazard to guess that for a female visitor to come by and see that on the front page, she probably wouldn't bother hanging around. If that happens often enough, it can only be to the detriment of this site. Balance is the only way to greatness.

I knew someone was bound to say something. I agree it can be off-putting, and I never use it, but I couldn't think of a strong enough word for this situation. I feel like other words like bitch, asshole, douchebag, fucker, etc don't have any kick anymore. When this word is used, people know you mean business. And I definitely wanted to mean it when I heard her suggest it would be a good thing if someone killed Obama.
Anyhoo, that being said, I'm all ears for suggestions of other words. I thought about saying bitch, but for the reasons stated above, it didn't have enough punch. I can't think of any other word, gender-neutral or not, that does.

I would ask that you please try to find other ways of expressing your distaste for this woman. That way you won't be putting the women on this site off-side, by using derogatory terms that are commonly used against women.

This woman is why we invented the word cunt.

I would ask that you please leave such inflammatory comments out of the Sift. You can only put women on this site off-side by making them here. If it's an attempt at irony, it's not very effective.
