[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8075813, member: 177"] Yes. Note: In the original example that spawned this, the poster said "... I'm not interested in going further with this." Not just, "stop responding to me". If you want to be an active part of a discussion, you don't get to pick and choose exactly who responds to you all the time. If you want to walk away, and not take a bunch of parting shots, or you want to drop a line of discussion, it is a more reasonable request, [I]so long as you are clear what the topic you want to drop is[/I]. The other half of this that you dropped is that you may also ask someone to not respond to you in general, everywhere. But then, again, you need to disengage yourself - we strongly recommend you use the Ignore function in such a case, to help you do that. In general, if you want to put a wall up between you and someone else, you have to respect that wall yourself. [/QUOTE]
