Who here has an Ignore list? How many names are ignored?

Personally, I don't believe in an Ignore list.

I tried not to, but realized the absolute magnitude of how often I'm probably ignored. So I started poisoning their pets to make up for it.

Turn-about's fair play, right?

I've never had more than 2, I currently have 1.

It isn't that he isn't entertaining in a disturbing sort of way - it is more that I don't have time to read/reply to him.

I wasn't aware there was a feature for it. I utilize my own power of ignore, don't need a feature to do it for me.

there is only one person on my ignore list, and the only reason that person is there is because everything they say makes me really really really angry.

they have no idea who they are. I have never responded, I was running out of self conrtol in the "ignore it on my own" area so I put them on my ignore list. ;)

Some are fun to watch, some are irritating... But the whole concept of letting one's emotions get the better of them to the extent that an ignore list would have to be used... This kind of frightens me.

It's like censorship.

If you can't handle someone's words you obviously cannot handle the world.
Dempublicents1

It's like censorship.

Not really. It's more like turning off the radio or TV if you don't want to hear what is on it. That isn't censorship - it is deciding what you are and are not interested in hearing.

It is like choosing one book over another off the shelves. You aren't censoring the book you are uninterested in - you simply aren't interested in it.

If you can't handle someone's words you obviously cannot handle the world.

This is true. Of course, only a few people have said anything about not being able to handle any words.

Ignore lists are rather useless. Why would you want to blind yourself to what someone says? You can ignore them by not replying to what they say without blinding yourself to their statements.

Personally, I don't have an ignore list, although I'm sure all the mods have me on ignore, except maybe Menelmacar (because I've never really met her). As well as a whole lot of other people. :D

I don't care really. I can rule the multiverse without their help. But if people do decide to ignore me, well... let's just say there'll be a lot of unexplained dead bodies found lying around sprinkled with violet petals...

2 people. One was a stalker that came after me through telegrams when (s)he noticed I was ignoring him/her, and the other was on the advice of a mod.

Both are no longer with us, I think, since the threads are all free of "this person is on you ignore list" posts.

I don't think placing someone on "ignore" is the appropriate thing to do when they simply disagree with you, or even when they're posting total idiocy. When someone is clearly going beyond the bounds by flamming, trolling, or flame-baiting, they should be reported to the mods.

I don't have an ignore list.

08-10-2005, 05:13
There's a few people I debated putting on 'ignore' but it's too much fun watching them dig their own graves, and some of the flame-age that they aquire is also quite entertaining.

I don't know if I'm on anyone's ignore list. Maybe Lyric's. She doesn't like me too much. I'm not too upset about it.

Hey Eutrusca! How are you feeling? (I know, I know, mild thread hijack!) you're up late!


I suppose the ignore feature is useful for when someone just gets so under your skin that you find yourself grinding your teeth every time you see that they've posted somewhere.

Having a toddler keeps me from getting that angry at anything anyone says here. Mostly I roll my eyes at the one's who annoy me.

Everytime you try to post in a thread made by someone the Mod's have assiged to your ignore list it would come up with "Sorry, you are not able to post in restricted access thread."

As far as I can remember, I've only had one person on my ignore list, and that was for like five minutes before I took them off again. Several people have made it tempting for me to add their names by resorting to personal attacks, but I tend to leave them off the list because putting someone on my ignore list is something I see as a failure of self-discipline on my part.

It seems to me that Mesatecala so easily finds a way to aggressively disagree with just about everyone.

I don't know if I'm on anyone's ignore list. Maybe Lyric's. She doesn't like me too much. I'm not too upset about it.
As does Lyric. Though, she is the worst-off person on earth so maybe I should be more forgiving.

I don't do ignore lists. I have been tempted a time or two, but I have found that even though I vehemently disagree with certain people most of the time, the very same people will also post very thought-provoking statements.

I try to be clear and polite when I post (although sometimes I fail) and as a result I have never yet been flamed by anyone.
