I'll be damned! I'm back to 3 people ignoring me.

[LeftofObama]

WTF did I do? I don't think I've even been posting all that much and when I do it's just to say Happy Birthday, or Good Job or something like that. Oh well. F*ck em'!

[PoliticAverse]

1. Maybe it was the way you said 'Happy Birthday'... n/t

[LeftofObama]

3. LOL!

Maybe next time I'll say, "Happy Birthday, f*cker!"

[snappyturtle]

2. You're being critical??? Left of Obama might not sit well....

It's so crazy around here lately...who knows.

[LeftofObama]

4. You might be right.

I remember being pissed at President Obama right around the time I joined here and that's why I chose that user name. Anyhow it seems kind of childish to me to ignore someone just because of their user name.

[snappyturtle]

6. Childish? That's pretty much a lot of what's been going on so

you may have answered your question!

[GoCubsGo]

19. Works both ways.

I'm sure the people who are ignoring me are doing so because I have supported, rather than being critical of Obama.

[pinboy3niner]

5. That wouldn't be so bad if only they weren't...

...the admins.

[LeftofObama]

7. ROFLMAO!

Or maybe when I wished those people Happy Birthday I didn't type it with enough gusto.

[steve2470]

10. lol nt

[pipi_k]

17. Well, if it gets up to 4...

We'll know that LoO finally pissed off this guy...

[Rowdyboy]

8. Thats nothing! I'm up to 6, 2 more since the last time I got mad. Can't imagine how that happened?

Oh well....

[steve2470]

9. I have 4...amazes me

I can say with all humility and precision I'm one of the most innocuous posters here. CaliforniaPeggy and AsahinaKimi are the kindest, imho.

[ConcernedCanuk]

11. I'm up to 12! - was only 6 or 7 a while back.

.

Being on ignore don't bother me one bit.

Their loss IMO.

[Chan790]

12. I have 9.

That seems really low. I must be slacking-off.

[B Calm]

13. Do you get some kind of alert letting you know that someone has you on ignore?

[steve2470]

14. no, you have to check your transparency page nt

[LeftofObama]

15. No. I just check it from time to time for the hell of it.

Go to the "My Profile" link at the top of this page.

When you get there go to the fourth tab across at the top and click on the one that says "Transparency".

You will see a link that says, "Show me my transparency page".

Click on that link and you will see how many people are ignoring you.



Edit: Changed "the" to "this"

[B Calm]

16. Damn I have 5, must be my colorful language I use from time to time, LOL

[pinboy3niner]

21. 'Ignored Pottymouth' says what?

[GoCubsGo]

18. I'm up to six!

Woo hoo! I haven't been posting much lately, either, and I have been avoiding the Manning and Snowden crap, for the most part. "Oh well", indeed.

[cliffordu]

20. I think you're doing it wrong. I have 28 ignoring me.

And I'm a lazy shit.

[Dash87]

22. You made me look. I lost a few fan club members. :(

I should go into GD to gather some more. I feel like I've been slacking.

[life long demo]

23. I have had 3 for a long time, so what ever I did, they haven't forgiven me

I wish I knew what that was.

[hobbit709]

24. I'm up to 21 as of this morning

Another nonadmirer has joined the list.

[walkerbait41]

25. I have only one

And that is only because I`m a new here. I just don`t understand being new gets you ignored

[BlueStreak]

26. That's not nearly enough. This isn't a social club. It is a site for discussing political issues.

There are dozens of people here whose views are so right wing that they border on troll status. Most of them rarely add anything valuable to the conversation. If you have not offended them sufficiently to be ignored, then you are not doing your part to keep this place tidy as a home for progressive thought and activism.

I have 28, which is probably about right. I am only ignoring about 10. These aren't people I disagree with frequently. These are people who are just nasty and don't add to the conversation. Most of them are single-issue people that want to turn this site into a loudspeaker for their particular issue.

[a la izquierda]

27. I put someone on today...

Something I rarely do. The person has a shitty attitude and posts flame bait or nonsense. I've attempted to defend this person, but no more.
When a snotty, rude attitude comes through via Internet, maybe an attitude readjust is in order.

[hrmjustin]

28. I am holding steady at 21.

[B Calm]

29. Found someone over in GD who has 129!

[hrmjustin]

32. Graham4anything had 172 at the time of his banning.

[LeftofObama]

30. Evidently this post pissed someone else off because

now I'm up to 4.

As someone's sig line once said, "Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints."

[LWolf]

31. I just checked.

I've added two more. I'm up to a record total of 16.

I know why. It's because I'm really, really, vocally, bluntly, and sometimes brutally, to the far left of Obama. And I don't give a shit if that offends anyone.

Four? Peanuts, lol.

[LeftofObama]

35. Yeah, it really is peanuts. I just wonder

what the hell I might have said. It's usually something like Happy Birthday!

Or if someone posts an animal picture it is

Or if someone posts something funny it is

Or if it is something I think is really cool it is or

That's all I can think of.

[Sanity Claws]

33. I have five people ignoring and blocking me

I can't imagine why. I hardly ever post and when I do, it is pretty harmless stuff.

[RiffRandell]

34. According to Skinner, they may get rid of our knowledge of ignore amounts.

Personally, I don't get upset about it and have 4 people ignoring me and 5 blocking pms. I think we should keep it, but that's my opinion.

I don't have anyone on ignore.

I read it in the ATA forum: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12593066

[steve2470]

36. agreed

If I had 200 people ignoring me, I could care less. I'd wonder what their issue was.

[LeftofObama]

37. ROFLMAO!

Now I'm up to 5! I think I'll keep this kicked to see how high it will go.
