In the same way I do everything else: personal choice.

To determine that I don't want to read it I have to look at it
first.  This is in essence the same problem as "Not thinking about
hippopotamuses".  You can't do it without doing it first.

Fine.  They don't have to have their fun on my time, on my
bandwidth, consuming my attention and using my resources.  They can
go have their fun at their expense thankyou-very-much.

I don't care if they are like me or not.  I do care that they don't
waste my time and attention without my prior consent.
