How many people do you have on ignore?

[VermontDem2004]

Poll question: How many people do you have on ignore?

I have no people on my ignore list.

[Rocinante]

1. Zero

And I shall never put someone on ignore.

[VermontDem2004]

2. At this point

It seems like anyone who does have an ignore list, I must be on it because all of the votes so far are on Zero.

[Exultant Democracy]

4. ha n/t

[La_Serpiente]

3. Zero

Never will.

[Systematic Chaos]

5. I'll probably never use ignore

because I'd be missing out on too much free entertainment if I did.

[LynneSin]

6. I find no purpose for ignore list or hide thead

But that's just me. I know what I like at DU and what I don't like. I pretty much can handle the rest!

[DemoTex]

19. I'm with LynneSin on this issue.

My filters are in my head.

[Awsi Dooger]

7. Zilch, and the need to ignore seems pathetic

I've insulted and been insulted, misunderstood and been misunderstood, but how petrified and emotional would someone have to be to physically go out of the way to exclude the thoughts of a (presumed) fellow Democrat?

Someone could be an idiot in GD, but a howl and with similar interests to mine in the Lounge.

The only outside possibility would be an absolutely relentless conspiracy whacko.

8. I am on half of DU's Ignore list

I have been on here almost as long as DU has been around so I would say that I am on at least half of the list of members ignore list.

Do I care? Hell No!

[ronnykmarshall]

27. You go!!

I don't have anyone on ignore.

[corarose]

41. I have allways had an attitude of

I don't care who likes me and who hates me because I like everyone unless they do something bad to me.

I allways give people 3 chances and on the third strike they are out and on my Shit list for good.

I have written off men in the past and I try to give them the benefit of the doubt but after 3 tries they are off of my mind forever and they are dead in my book I will walk past the person and not even look at them after they burn me.

[rustydog]

9. None, I can't Ignore them...

I may not agree with some posts, but i still need to see what people think, believe and feel about their interests.

[ajacobson]

10. None yet

although there are some people who are getting on my last nerve.

[trof]

11. Hear, hear.

That's all.
Ain't naming names.
;-)

[trof]

12. unanswered questions

Many times I'll ask a question in a thread and get no response.
Wonder if they can see me?
hmmmmmmm

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. I have two...

My philosophy is if you whine at me constantly about your life that only you have the power to change, or if you lecture me like you're my mommy, then you're gone, I'm not listening to you anymore.
Duckie

[Ellen Forradalom]

29. File me under this category

Makes life a tad more pleasant.

[Richardo]

35. I think my one ignoree is the same as one of your two...

;-)

[fishnfla]

36. my one and only is one of yours

feel like I'm piling on here.Once my automatic log in feature wasnt working and I saw some of the snarky replies in a thread. I knew that I was doing the right thing.

[Robb]

14. All kinds of people

...I wonder why no one responded to this thread?

:evilgrin:

I kid, no one on my list. My time isn't that valuable.

[regularguy]

15. There are lotsa people I'd like to put on ignore....

I just need them to sign up on DU first. :)

[Padraig18]

16. None

I think it's juvenile, to be honest. If you don't want to read what someone posts, then simply don't click on the topic or thread.

:shrug:

[Beaker]

17. Ignore lists are for people with closed minds.

Mine's open for business...

[Blue-Jay]

18. Zero

It's the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "lalalalalalalalala.....".

[Love Bug]

20. Only two....

And they are the same two "skeptics" who seem to think it is their mission in life to go shit on every astrology thread they can find in the Meeting Room.

[Logansquare]

24. You know, I'm a skeptic as well, but

I have no idea why some people feel compelled to harass others for their beliefs. I think you have the right to ignore someone who tries to hijack an astrology thread.

[Love Bug]

33. Thank you!

And the sad thing is these two individuals have posted some good stuff on other threads in the past. Their constant "freeper-level" disrespect towards the astrologers and those (like me) who like to read those threads without constant disruption have angered me to the point where I don't care what they have to say about anything else. They may be considered "good Dems" in other forums, but their true colors really come out in the Meeting Room, IMO. There are plenty of other posters who are skeptics, too, but they don't resort to cheap shots and disruption. They just shake their heads and leave the rest of us to our discussion. And that's ok!

[NashVegas]

21. 20 + and it is not too many

But if other people want to have their DU pages get drowned out by trolls and lonely-hearts, that's their perogative.

[buddhamama]

22. two n/t

[Logansquare]

23. I put my first two on ignore last week

Because of their shenanigans in GD, and the fact that their obnoxious behavior was poisoning my judgement of their chosen candidate.

[Le Taz Hot]

25. None of the above

20+ and make no apologies.

[Misinformed01]

26. Over 40, and it would be more

but, I haven't been reading DU that much lately.

[CO Liberal]

28. None Right Now

I've put a few on "Ignore" because of unpleasantness down on the Justice/Public Safety board. But they've all been banned now.....

[Screaming Lord Byron]

30. I put one on last week for the first time ever, then took them off quickly

made me feel oddly dirty.

[Renew Deal]

31. Just you

:silly:

[youngred]

32. why censor myself

Things I disagree with stimulate me more than rote agreement

[ParanoidPat]

34. Zero because "No man is at all hours wise".....

....While I may strongly disagree with some here 'from the other side of the tent', I believe that placing anyone on ignore is robbing myself of the opportunity to learn what perceptions others hold on issues I find personally important. I often will read something that causes me to stop and research a topic to find out what the truth of the matter is after reading a post by someone I don't agree with. From time to time I've learned new information in those searches that has altered my perception of a person or situation. It's not always a bad thing. :evilgrin:

[NightTrain]

37. Although I love DU...

...I hope I never take it so seriously that I start putting folks in "ignore."

[A-Schwarzenegger]

38. Hunderds.

People that cusses too much, people
that says things that make me crush
my mouse, people that make too much
fun of my candidate. This whole thread
only has three people that are not on
my Ignore. Let them that has ears to
hear.

[KamaAina]

39. Never have, never will

The ignore list defeats the purpose of DU as a marketplace of ideas.

On the other hand, if I could put the list itself on ignore... :-)

[paulk]

40. I've been here for 2.5 years

and I put my first poster on ignore 2 months ago. That list has grown to just under 20. I have come to realize ignore is one of the most valuable functions on this board -

[goobergunch]

42. None, on principle (n/t)

[neebob]

43. 0, but I'm thinking about ignoring someone

I haven't done it yet because it's just as easy to skip over threads started by that person.

[seaglass]

44. I have 18, added this week.

I've been here since the summer of 2001 and have only had one person on ignore before, I removed her and then she was banned the same day anyways. The person I disagreed with most, I never put on ignore and I always read her posts.

It's not a decision I take lightly, I have read many posts from the people that are now on my Ignore list.

I didn't put them on the list just because I disagree with them, I think that would be pretty good odds if there were only 18 people on this entire site that I disagree with.

I put them on because they call other DUers names AND I disagree with them. I don't need to waste my time reading the thoughts of someone who feels free to call another DUer a douche bag (for example).
