Ignore Lists. . .

[danzig138]

Guess it's just me To those who commented as to whether or not I saw their posts. . .only one person as yet (7 am Central time) has replied whose post is blocked. Generally, I add someone if they work real hard at being orifices designed for the explusion of solid wastes for more than a couple of days straight. One of the main "offenses" is if someone does nothing but complain on several different threads with no attempt at offering anything of value to a topic. Quite a few of the people are just disagreeable. I don't have a proplem with people disagreeing with me, but the way some people act online makes me wonder if they are the same in person and if so, how often they get beat down. Basically, if someone's posts repeatedly make my ulcers hurt, I add them; less grief that way.

Tell me if this has been asked before...

I hope no one has started a thread on this topic already, but how many people do you have on you ignore list? I have a few and I'm just wondering if the amount I have is too high?

Thanks, WM, for my first good laugh of the day

I don't have anyone ignored (didn't realize you could). Even the folks I strongly dislike by posting style and content occasionally have something interesting to say. And if not, I can usually tell by the first or second sentence of the post and move on.

It is a good day.

I've used it twice in the past, and even then it was a short term thing for when I didn't have the patience to read the people's posts for a week or so.

There are no persons on my ignore list.

The only person I ever considered adding to my ignore list is a certain member of these forums who is well known and quite active here. A while back, this member seemed to be following me (purposely or not) into every discussion I was participating in and giving me grief.

I visited his personal website (the link to it was provided in his sig) to try discerning what his background and his motives might be. I discovered that he has a long history of being a troll, which he evidently was proud of, since there was a list of his "greatest hits" on that website, complete with links to the various message board discussions that he thought were his most memorable and funny.

Ultimately, though, I decided not to add this member, since even he deserves to have a voice in these forums.

Evidently, I must be one of the 54 (!) members on danzig138's ignore list, because he responded to one of my posts in the "Review of Monte's 3.5 Review" discussion with the following opening statement: "I normally don't respond to those on the list... "

Folks, this isn't going to turn into "Veiled Hints about Who's on my Ignore List" ok? If you're going to ignore someone, ignore them but there's no need to rub it in their faces, that's just rude.

No one on my ignore list, but I also wondered if I was on other peoples.....

 

[Knight Otu]

Wouldn't that be like shutting off the majority of the boards?

Might make them more managible...
