How Many People Do You Have on Ignore?

Poll question: How Many People Do You Have on Ignore?

NO NAMES, just numbers. I'm curious how many use the functionality. I'm up to 20, myself. :-)

[Rowdyboy]

1. Just can't make myself do it

Though I can list a solid 20 posters who irritate the shit out of me with their idiocy. But how would I know what ridiculous crap they were curently spewing if I had them on ignore?

4. I only have a half dozen or so (unless you count the 9/11 forum),

but I agree. How would I know what they're saying if I have them on "ignore"? It's easier for me to force myself not to get too frustrated than it is for me to be in the dark.

2. You have 20??

I just can't resist reading the posts. I have 3 to 5. I think I will add to that list soon.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

10. Yup. Two-Zero. Looks Like I'm in the Lead.

3. did you say something?

[DoveTurnedHawk]

9. LOL!

Good one! :D

5. None...............

There are some who I've considered, but that would be just sticking my head in the sand to avoid partucular viewpoints. I hope I can still allow myself to at least TRY to learn from other's point of view. If someone really pisses me off I'll generally ignore them without using the function.

6. Well said. Thank you!

:thumbsup:

20. I used to think that as well, but the two I have are just beyond reason.

I haven't checked lately; they may have been tombstones, although both had postins in the three digits.

[LincolnMcGrath]

24. So you let them get to you?

[101 Proof]

7. None, yet.

[SOteric]

8. Just one, but

It's been so long since I saw that 'ignored' line in a thread, I'm thinking it may be moot at this point.

[Bundbuster]

11. None - I'm into total awareness

For one who occasionally visits fundie/reichwing sites to keep up on their latest tactics - "Know thine enemies" - the worst vitriol here at DU would taste like fine wine to me.

12. 51+

WAAAY +. This is it. You're at a party, some obnoxious drunk comes over to you and tells you the SAME friggin' story he just told you 3 minutes ago which is the same one he told you 3 minutes before that and 3 minutes before that and so on. And it wasn't even particularly interesting the first time. No thanks. Personally, I'm not into that particular form of masochism. Not only do I walk away from him and avoid him like the plague, he doesn't get invited back. B-)

13. none

:shrug:

[AlFrankenFan]

14. None

Even if someone is an asshole, I believe unless absolutely necessary does someone need to be moved to the ignore list. Everyone deserves their opinion.

[Le Taz Hot]

15. OK, I don't mean to be contentious, but . . .

How does me putting someone on MY ignore list infringe on someone else's free speech? It doesn't gag them, it prevents me from inadvertently stumbling on to their drivel.

[WoodrowFan]

16. OOPS 42?!?

I voted for 11-15 then decided to go count. 42!!!! JEEEZE. Almost all are tinfoil hat types with a couple of pro-Serb types tossed in for flavor. I think a couple were freeper trolls that I put there until they could be booted. Guess I don't tolerate fools easily.

And for the record, I've not put any supports of other candidates on the list no matter how strident they may appear. Just the people I think keep insisting that black is white and up is down.

[OldEurope]

17. Voted none, but...

... now I think, I´ll change my mind.

[NoPasaran]

18. Thirty-eight

And counting.

[jonnyblitz]

19. absolutely none! I prefer to see what people I disagree with

have to say! I don't find it overly challanging just to read posts of people I agree with! I live for the debate. Perhaps you won't see this response if I am one of the 20 people you have on ignore! :hi:

[LincolnMcGrath]

21. Ain`t Skeered of noboby

[MrBenchley]

22. Used to enjoy jeering publicly at the idiots and lurkers

but now with the new policy, I just put them on ignore.

[Cosmic_Latte]

23. None

Whenever I don't like a message, I'll just scroll it down. :-)

25. 1, so far

I vowed not to, since I do like reading discourse threads.

But some of the posters in GD-Primaries are getting a little zealous with their candidate attacks, to the point that it's all just rehash.

May add more. But so far, it's working great.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

26. Zero, but

once the nominee is chosen, there are about 6 people who I will ignore. For now, I feel like I need to see the BS so it can be responded to properly.

[5thGenDemocrat]

27. You made me look

93. Do you think that's too many?

No wonder things have seemed calmer around here lately.

28. None.
