Damn! What is UP with you people that never used the "ignore" button???
Hell, some days half the lounge doesn't even appear on my screen.

I wish I could do that in real life!

1. I rarely use it.
Then I usually take people off of it after a few days.

8. I do that too....but, I always forget until I see an "ignored" in a
response to me. Then I check, and half the time take them off the list.

The other half the time, I think "this is such an awesome computer function...back into the ignore cave of life for you, beast!"

It's a beautiful thing.

3. No one (in the Lounge) annoys me that much.
IRL, however, is another matter. :shrug:

6. I only use it in GD and LBN
The only people on my ignore list are people who have proven themselves to be sexist assholes. My life is so much more stress-free now. *sighs contentedly*

7. I'm too nosy to put anyone or anything on ignore.
Someone might have something good to say and I don't want to miss it.

10. I love the ignore feature.
It is truly my friend. And, it is the friend of those I am ignoring. Win/Win situation if you ask me. ;)

12. Yep!
that's exactly how I feel....I would have been banned five times to Friday and back some nights when I am into the liquor cabinet and in a bad mood.

Or even worse...the days when I think I am clever. Those are the MOST dangerous for me.

Me, I think we'd all be better off without the flamewars.

14. When I read a comment on DU
I'm barely, if at all, aware of who posted it. I'm certainly not up on where that particular poster falls into the strata of the DU pecking order. Hell, I'm just guessing that there is one.

So, it would seem weird to read some dude's post, be like "you are SO ignored asshole!" and then a week later try to figure out why I have some random I don't know from Adam on my ignore list

15. I only use it on Green haters and baiters. Actually I think there's only
1 or 2 people on my list permanently. I occasionally ban someone if they are being a nitwit, but I take them off the list after a while.

17. Because they don't want to miss the chance to post snarky comments..
..to those they can't stand?

Because they like being aggravated?

Because they have nothing else going on in their lives to wait to try and bait those they hate?

Because they think it makes them a big person for not doing so?

:shrug:

I'm with you sister - I don't see why it's such a big deal to some. If I had this feature out in the real world I'd have half of the world (i.e. Repukes) on ignore. I don't see why it is necessary to have to experience those people I have don't seem to get along with, hate me, or I have zero in common with. Makes life simple and easy. It makes more sense to simply ignore those we don't get along with that to constantly engage in the bullshit.

But, being a moderator and being privy to other people's ignore lists, I have been occasionally AMAZED by how long some of them are.

Everytime I see "ignored" in a thread...I wonder what the hell they just said and I am tempted to un-ignore them.

is that you can make a point of letting everyone know you have people on ignore!

36. If a freeper freeps and no one watches....
their threads just fester.

:popcorn:

I do ignore some people and I try to be judicious about entering flamebait threads. However, I also feel that the ignore feature can lead to bad consequences. If all of us ignored a freeper, for instance, there would be no one to trash their silly threads or press the alert button.
