[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7539922, member: 6795602"] I think what we keep trying to ask is: Why should something you do as a user prevent another user from doing anything? Why is preventing them from quoting you or reading your posts a good thing? The only semblance of sense I can make from that line of thinking is that human nature pushes us all to get the last word in. Which means that ignoring someone and ending communication with them still allows them to get the last word in which doesn't really feel good. It's not a logical dislike, it's an emotional one. But still an emotional response that causes someone not to want to use an ignore feature may be enough to greatly minimize the times users will use the feature and cause longer, nastier arguments between posters that ultimately require more mod interjection. If that's the argument I get it. But if that's not then I have no idea why any of those things matter. I think the ignore feature works fine for those with self control that actually have made a reasoned decision to stop interacting with another poster. It doesn't work so well for those who would rather have the last word in than simply avoiding a another user that irritates them. [/QUOTE]
