Isn't modern technology a wonderful thing?
My use of the ignore/block feature has evolved over time. I used to use it mostly to keep out people that aggravated me. But I can't block all of Enworld!
Now, it's mostly about me.
I've found that the truly egregious and beyond-the-pale trolls tend to get themselves banned after a while, so I don't need to worry about them.
What I do need to worry about is when I get into it with someone. Maybe it's that person, maybe it's me. Who knows? Well, I mean, I know. It's always the other person. Right? But theoretically in some possible alternate universe where I am not the Lizard King and correct about everything, maybe it's me. Or maybe it's neither of us, and it's just a question of someone's blood getting all angered, either because of what's going on here, or what's going on in their real life.
So that's when I use ignore as kind of a forced time-out. Take a break from that person. To invoke Depeche Mode, sometimes you need to enjoy the silence, because words are trivial and feelings are intense.
And sometime later, I remove the ignore. Works great! As of this post, there are only two people I've ever had to perma-ignore because of ... well, let's just say their persistent ability to anger my blood.
(Of course, everyone is different, and what works for me may not work for others.)
