I came here to say exactly this! And they mostly live in grotty North Las Vegas where the "locals" would never live because its horrible and not Summerlin or Henderson. And Nellis also brings in numerous people from other bases for training exercises and they pump money into the town. Nellis must be the second biggest employer after the strip.

1. Go to My Settings (top left)
2. Then look for Buddy/Ignore List on the lower left hand side under Miscellaneous
3. Type/paste in the cretins name in the Ignore List box
4. Save List
5. As long as you're logged in, anything they post won't appear
6. Enjoy perusing the forum again.

Note: Use the Ignore List judiciously.
Was it something I said?
