Some people just can't help themselves and have to tell you about wrongbadfun.
(I'm guilty of participating in the edition wars on occasion, but mostly on the defending side, when people who diss the edition I prefer feel the urge to trash it. Thankfully, we don't seem to get many of those threads any longer - so we can now focus on the merits of each edition instead)
Currently I've got 1 on mine, he's never said anything that didn't appear to be trolling and in his profile he even describes himself as a jerkwad, so I think I made the right decision. I've had other people on Ignore in the past when they've annoyed me, but I've always taken them off eventually.
I guessed I might be on 1-3 ignores, but no way to tell - the mods don't like it when you tell people you put them on ignore, it's supposedly rude. More rude than whatever prompted you to put them on ignore in the first place!

There are many people like this. This is not exclusive to the tabletop pen-and-paper rpg game hobby.
Fanatics of many stripes display this type of behavior regardless of whether it is: religion, politics, fandom (ie. Star Wars, Star Trek, etc ...), music, games, etc ...
Offline in the real world, many people just get a good laugh and subsequently ignore such fanatics as "madmen". Others may just walk by, indifferent to the fanatics' existence.

I've never had, and never will have, anyone on my ignore list.
I guessed that I'm on 10+ people's ignore lists. Maybe the screenname scares them off.
Edit: I think it would be interesting to be able to see how many people are currently ignoring you. No names, just numbers. That way if you really aren't trying to be a jerkwad you might change your ways in a realization that you are unintentionally irritating people.

I've got no one on my ignore list. I'd hope I'm not on anyone's list, but I'm sure I've said something stupid at one time or another to earn a spot.
My goal is to be polite and friendly, though that's no guarantee I succeed at that aim. I try to remember that my mood effects what I'm reading and that the person posting may not be aware of that mood
(again, I don't always succeed).

If you ignore them, they can talk behind your back
How do you know what they are saying about you if you can't see their posts? They can plot the downfall of the world (of warcraft), accuse you of Badwrongfun, diss your favorite RPG, and open polls about what type of underwear people think you have (tightie-whities, boxers, thong, commando), without you having any idea. Ignore people at your peril!
On a more serious note, I don't ignore people. Mostly the mods take care of the most egregious offenders. The others that bug me tend to fall into the "rude and abrasive, but sometimes makes useful contributions" category, and as such I'd rather not ignore them entirely. I doubt anyone is ignoring me, but one never can tell. Every now and then I attempt to be funny (with varying degrees of success). That's practically a crime right there in the eyes of some people.
