I miss Al being my rep.

When I lived in DC, I went to a Wednesday morning breakfast he held that was open to Minnesotans. I went because despite filling out all the correct forms in a more than timely manner, my wife’s immigration process was stalled and she had about 2 weeks to receive an extension on her initial visa or she’d have to leave the country. I explained the issue, he got mad, referred me to his chief aide who took down all my info, and the next day we received an email notice from USCIS that her visa petition for extension was approved and we’d receive what we needed in the mail in the next few days. I miss having him represent me.

There needs to be a way to leave private notes to yourself about other posters, to help avoid having the same arguments every six months until one of you dies of old age.

“Why did I mute/block this person? Ohhh yeah, THAT’S why!” has been a feature I’ve wanted for a long time in forums and social media across the board.

I don't even need to block or mute this person. They have, as I recall, one issue that they won't budge on and won't acknowledge is a them problem, not a universal problem. I just need to be able to mouse over their name and see a note I've left myself about the issue, so I don't engage on it once again.

I'm conflicted. On the one hand, yes. Useful to remind yourself things. This person is obsessed with this particular piece of jargon. This person cannot have a real conversation about 4e. Etc. Avoid the dangerous stuff and we can all get along better.

OTOH, using the forum tech to assist in giving people negative labels and helping people hold onto grudges they might otherwise forget about seems a system that leads to people getting along worse in the long run.

I've had a thought in the opposite direction - ignores should expire after ~2 years. If you see someone again and they still annoy you, it's trivial to hit ignore again. If you see someone again and they don't annoy you, maybe it's time to move on. It would also stop the (minor) problem of people using their ignore list as a weapon as they head out the proverbial door.

Nothing wrong with keeping a Rogue’s Gallery in a notes app.
