So, who else has managed to travel the treacherous waters of DU,

[Baitball Blogger]

without putting anyone on Ignore?

[seabeyond]

1. .

[drm604]

2. Me.

I have never ignored nor (as far as I know) been ignored.

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Really? Nobody has ignored you?

Now THAT's an accomplishment.

[riderinthestorm]

3. Me. This is a discussion board, I find the "ignore" function supremely ironic

Don't care for that poster's positions, either debate them or skip over them.

Its why I find the lounge's regular tallying up of whose got the most ignores to be hilarious. Its often California Peggy who has the most or someone else who you'd never expect.

[Baitball Blogger]

22. For the most part, that's my philosophy too.

I just put a couple people on ignore for a few weeks when it was obvious they were looking for someone to pick a fight with.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. I don't have anyone on ignore, but my transparency page says

that three star members have me on ignore.

[Baitball Blogger]

23. What could you have possibly said to have pissed anybody off?

[Arkansas Granny]

36. DAMIFINO.

[AsahinaKimi]

48. I do too..

Apparently I have offend 3 people.. I don't why.. I never try to. It makes me sad.

[Sedona]

5. Never had a reason too

nt

[Scuba]

6. I don't use the DU ignore function. I use my built-in-the-brain one instead.

[Baitball Blogger]

24. Saw that last post that was hidden.

Were you the one who posted Mitt's wife trying to wear a black number for the red carpet? That dress could move!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I have used it, but the longest I ever had someone hidden was about 24 hours...

I was too curious to keep anyone there very long!

[Baitball Blogger]

25. You have such an omnipotent presence on DU, that I thought for sure

your x-ray eyes can penetrate even the Ignore button.

[amyrose2712]

8. Never used it.

[NewJeffCT]

9. I've never put anybody on ignore

and I'm heading into my 9th anniversary on DU.

I barely remember most people's user names, so I tend to miss the insults/flames, etc and then don't remember who did what afterwards, anyhow.

[Baitball Blogger]

26. That's the way to be.

Keep a safe distance, emotionally.

[NCTraveler]

10. Me. nt

[HopeHoops]

11. Nobody on ignore here - but I know I sure am.

[HappyMe]

13. Dude

I still think you are an awesome husband and a great dad.

[Baitball Blogger]

27. And a great caretaker of rabbits.

Don't forget the rabbits.

[ohiosmith]

12. Me! Never have! Never will!

Must admit however, I am occasionally sorely tempted.

[Codeine]

14. I imagine most members don't use the Ignore feature, actually.

I certainly don't.

[hobbit709]

15. Someone recently added me to their list so now I'm up to 7 ignoring me.

Me, none.
If I don't want to read something by a particular poster, I just don't click on it.

[Baitball Blogger]

28. Same here. Recently picked up two more.

You know, I haven't ignored individuals, but I have blocked out forums because I sense a certain incompatibility. I bet those individuals have opted to handled it with ignores because they sense the same incompatibility.

[hobbit709]

37. I'm pretty sure at least one of my ignorers is one of the Perpetually Poutraged.

[frogmarch]

16. Me.

[rrneck]

17. Had someone on for a while then took 'em off.

In either case the earth continued on its path around the sun.

[nolabear]

18. Me! Wouldn't dream of it. I'm WAY too nosey.

I have, over the years, managed to grow a thicker skin though. Slams, especially when I'm really trying to understand and make something productive out of a disagreement, still get to me but I've managed to turn injured into irritated, which certainly feels better. But I still want to know everything that's going on.

It's sort of like when I was a teeny kid and would sneak into the living room and watch Alfred Hitchcock after being forbidden to do so. Scared the holy hell out of me and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

[Baitball Blogger]

29. I learned the hard way that if someone is trying to give you a hard time on DU, the best thing to do

is confront them. Whatever it is that they find objectionable about you, deal with it there and then. At least you can leave understanding each other's position better. And that's how I got about four new Ignores added to my list.

[nolabear]

39. LOL! I agree, though it doesn't always work out. But I won't take abuse.

Seemed important to say that for some reason. Sometimes you have to just say "Okay. Be well. Bye bye."

19. Forced Ignore Long Gone with advent of DU3

I love replying in threads of people that have Me on Ignore

[Baitball Blogger]

30. How did that Forced Ignore work?

I assume Skinner imposed it?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. not very well, methinks. especially that Huge One that sliced and diced and

julienned the Lounge to smithereens. I think we are still recovering from that one.

[Baitball Blogger]

34. Do tell. How long ago was that?

Were people taking sides?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. from my perspective the Admin "forced" sides by Making certain people

"ignore" other certain people. meh. it is the past and I say let bygones be bygones. You can probably search the archives and find relevant threads if you are really interested. I think most of this happened Spring of '07.

[Bertha Venation]

20. Me. I used to have BikeWriter on ignore, off and on

but I haven't seen him in years. I kinda miss him.

[Baitball Blogger]

32. I did a search and there was no bikewriter.

Looks like you outlasted him.

[Doc_Technical]

31. Me also

Hell, I watch television evangelists for their
entertainment value so I don't want to miss
anything here.
I couldn't care less if anyone has me on Ignore.

[In_The_Wind]

38. me

[bluesbassman]

40. Nobody currently, although I have used it for blood pressure adjustment on a couple occasions.

Just checked, and I have one star member ignoring me, probably my pro-blues position.

[Paladin]

41. Nobody. Although I've Been Tempted A Couple Of Times. (nt)

[mnhtnbb]

42. I have never put anyone on ignore. Apparently, one person has me on ignore--damned if I know who

or why!

[LiveNudePolitics]

43. Is this ignore thingy

like all the flame-wars that would happen in forums and chat rooms back in the day? 'Member the "message is clear, Microsoft has failed" guy? We wished for an ignore button then! I miss the AOL Metal chat room. Used to pee my pants over the moves some fellas made when they suspected a female disturbance in the force.

Boo! Now I feel old!

[nolabear]

44. Just discovered 2 have me on ignore! I picked up one somewhere.

Huh...wonder what tipped the scale. Oh well.

[ancianita]

45. I don't see the point of being here if you put others on ignore.

Would anyone tell me how you find out if you're ignored? I haven't figured that out. Thanks!

[riderinthestorm]

47. Go to the My Profile icon at the top of the page and open that

Then go to the Transparency tab and hit that.

Then open up the "Show me my transparency page"

That will get you the stats (10 ignores for me but I've been particularly crabby lately! )

[Texasgal]

46. I have for years.

Wasn't until DU3 that I used that feature.
