I use the ignore option that shows me that they posted, but I have to click to see what it was. It feels like it helps me in those cases.
I can't do that. Too tempting.
That said, I try to be more sparing in my ignore now. I used to use it much more frequently as a "time-out," when things got heated. Normally, I'd take a break for a week or so, then check in and "un-ignore" if everything seemed kosher.
Well, seems that a few people chose to ignore me because I took a time-out and ignored them. And since I can't see them, I can't tell if it's worth unignoring them. So it goes.
