[QUOTE="jaerdaph, post: 3923138, member: 3398"] I see your point and I know I would certainly benefit from rethinking my own behavior as well, but that's probably not such a good idea, but only because it would ultimately be abused or used for public ridicule. I've found that counting to ten before responding works for me. I know I can say things that I probably shouldn't which have probably offended someone. And I'm very sorry for that -we all have bad days myself included. I try to avoid using ignore lists now and avoid the threads and posters that I know I have a problem with and move on, remembering they too can have bad days or are entitled to their different opinions, priorities and feelings just as I am. At the end of the day, I remember that we are, for the most part, talking about a game - a hobby that is meant to be fun, escapist and enjoyable. Even though this is what I strive for now, I know I'm still not perfect. Roleplaying games have such a major social interaction component, so I personally find ignore lists counter to that spirit and they prevent me from honing my skills for interacting socially. This is just my opinion. And if I am on your ignore list and you happen to see this somehow, I apologize for offending you and ask that you give me another chance. I'm taking an active stance to provide help, encouragement and answers to people, and learning to live and let live. It's an ongoing process, but one that I think is worth it in the long run. All things considered, EN World is one of the best online communities out there. :) [/QUOTE]
