The ignore list

Why are people so eager to tell everyone on this board who is on their ignore list? If you do not like something someone has to say, why not just not read their posts? I do not have a single person on an ignore list and there are people I will never respond to or I realize their opinion has no value to me personally.

I just find it annoying every time someone says something that a person does not like they keep referring to their ignore list.

Peace

I think the reason we want people to know they are on the list is so they will perhaps stop posting asinine comments directed at us. Maybe if we discourage the rude behavior, they will cease and desist. Not likely, but maybe.

They included this feature for a reason. It is difficult to ignore posts when you are trying to follow a particular thread.

No it is not. When you see a topic started by "......." you just do not open the thread. If you see someone posted a response, you pass over their posts. Half the time I do not read over all the posts in a long thread anyway. So it is very easy to pass over someone I think is talking crap.

BTW, when you say you put someone on their ignore list do they stop posting automatically?

Peace

Put it like this. 50% of the people that don't like you, you don't care if they do. The other 50% of people, you don't know they don't like you.

I'm 100% sure I don't care either way.

It's no fun ignoring someone if they don't know you're ignoring them but if you tell them you're ignoring them you don't know if they remember you're ignoring them the next time you ignore them, so you have to tell them again but then are you really ignoring them?
Quite the conundrum.

And,

Some posters are so arrogant that they say "you don't really ignore me you still read my stuff . . . "

And often other posters include a quote from the ignored one and you wind up reading their crap anyway.

I currently have six names on my ignore list.

Did you know you can list your own name on your own ignore list?

Regards,

I've got an idea.
Instead of the silly umpire trivia game lets play

"Who's on my ignore list"

Between Garth, Mcrowder, SDS, Ozzy, You (Tim C), mbyron and a few others we have a few weeks worth of material.
Someone else of course will have to pick up on this as I'm sure I'm on their lists therefore they'll miss out on this great idea.

Of the 6 listed above who has the deepest ignore list?

I'm pleased to report that 4 of the 9 distinct posters in the thread (up to this one) are on my ignore list. That's an unusually high percentage - probably a thread I won't return to.

I haven't put myself on my list (yet).

My ignore list is empty! If I ignore you, I cannot read your post unless I remove you from the ignore list. Of course, that would negate the usefulness of the ignore list. But if I can't see what you are saying, how can I respond with hopes of enlightening you thus bringing your intelligence quotient out of the negative numbers.

Whew, what a crock of BS! Bartender, where's my drink?

Not so! Every ignored post has a little "View this post" link in the upper right corner. Should you feel the need, just click that to read the post...
