What a day on DU for me!

[mainegreen]

Someone must think I'm nice, because I noticed a donor star next to me name (the star I never could afford). Either that, or I was the beneficiary of a code glitch! If it was a person, thanks! Finally I can use the power of the search feature!

and

I also made it onto someones ignore list for the first time! Evidently disagreeing with this person means I'm a white supremacist sympathizer. :eyes:

It sure does nasty out there sometimes!

[Call Me Wesley]

1. Isn't it called

supremacyst? :rofl:

It's great to have a donor star, isn't it? :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

2. How do you know you made a person's ignore list?

Congrats on the star!

I have, at moments, offended people here...it happens.

[mainegreen]

3. They congratulated me for making it to their ignore list

and let me know why I was on it.

I was rather floored by their reasoning of why I made it to their list, being that the nazis were not very nice to my family. Meh, there are some tightly wound people here.

Nothing a kitten thread won't cure.

:P

[KitchenWitch]

4. Bring on the kitties!

:hi:

[Neil Lisst]

5. only the pathetic TELL you they put you on IGNORE

It's such a Drama Queen move!

I like it when someone does that. It means I can say whatever I feel like right after their comments, and they'll never even know it!

[mainegreen]

6. Pretty much my thoughts.

Gave me a chuckle!

*snark* drama queen! So true.

[SoCalDem]

8. fell free to borrow this one for next time

[mainegreen]

10. I love it.

I download to my server!

[Neil Lisst]

17. SoCalDem, that's my third grade teacher ...

back when we were just getting used to having GOD in the pledge!

[Syncronaut Seven]

19. Happened to me today! And I quote

" No, you've seen how I respond to assholes first hand.
You are probably the furthest thing from a challenge I've ever encountered! And see how easily you disappear when placed on "ignore"!

Very meaningful from a guy who kept having his rebuttals yanked yesterday for his violent and threatening demeanor. I am SO CRUSHED!!!1111!1! :rofl: Or maybe It was his limited vocabulary, Asshole being his mostest favorite word. :rofl:

[Neil Lisst]

21. The ones who tell you they put you on IGNORE ...

... are always the ones who think every day at the message board is a crusade to get in a snit over something!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

39. Well, I tell people so they don't think I'm just not responding to them...

because I have nothing to say. I just don't want to waste my time on them.

[SoCalDem]

7. I got ignored too...for my sig pic

:) It happens.. I was also bashed the other day in a thread ..

Welcome to the club:)

[mainegreen]

9. thanks! Are there membership dues?

How are the benefits? I hope there's not a required social. I do hate those things!

:P

[SoCalDem]

11. It's an elite little bunch..Formal attire not required

:)

[davidinalameda]

42. no formal attire?

balderdash!

it's black tie and top hat for the gentlemen; evening gowns and gloves for the ladies

now saying that, find me a gentleman and a lady on this board and I'll donate in your name for your next gold star

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. Really? They put you on ignore because of your sig pic?

I think we should all start putting that pic in our sig lines, then.

Anyone that petty and constantly looking for a reson to have their faith offended doesn't deserve to be part of the conversation.

At least, I assume it's because they're faith was offended.

[SoCalDem]

41. It was my snarky snowman pic. I change them often

it was this one with a hairdryer:

[Rabrrrrrr]

43. Bwuhahahahaha!! For some reason, I find it hilarious,

even knowing the awful provenance of the picture. But then, it's the awful provenance that makes it funny, I guess.


Anyway, for someone to ignore you because of it is pure immaturity.

IMO.

[SoCalDem]

44. I like it too.. But then I have a twisted sense of humor

:)

[graywarrior]

12. I love Manie-ahs.

[mainegreen]

13. We are cuddly in our little flannel shirts, aren't we?

:)

[graywarrior]

20. Tis why I am moving back to Portland

[mainegreen]

25. Sweet

I love it. I never, ever want to move off the peninsula

[graywarrior]

29. What part of Portland are you at?

I used to live on Congress down near the water and I worked at Wild Oats for awhile.

[mainegreen]

30. I'm across from Deering Oaks Park

[Gormy Cuss]

32. Deering Oaks PARK?

What kind of moran are you, renaming Portland's finest Victorian era park? It's just Deering Oaks. Nice try. I'm putting you on ignore just as everyone else here has done.
(:P Just kidding.)

I learned to ice skate at Deering Oaks. It's still my favorite park in Portland. It must be nice to come out of your building every day and see it.

[mainegreen]

45. They re-did the barking squirrel.

Its now just the Castle portion (they tore down the big add-on) and they plan to use it as a cocoa and warming hut again!

[MarianJack]

34. Hello From Augusta!

Come home soon! :hi:

[leftstreet]

14. I'M PUTTING YOU ON IGNORE!

:rofl:

[mainegreen]

15. thats about how I felt.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. We Maineahs don't avoid conflict, that's for sure.

:D :D Sorry to hear about the annoyances.

:hi:

[mainegreen]

28. Its not annoying, but thanks. DU is a big place.

We won't all get along. :shrug:

22. I guess you meant this post?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=1951803#1951967

[mainegreen]

26. Yup. Thats the one.

Inflammatory, aren't I?

[Misunderestimator]

27. Yup.

Indeed you are.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

23. Well good for you!

I tend to annoy people myself, but I don't know if I have made any ignore lists.

Looks like the troll found you here, huh? (judging from the removed post)

[Misunderestimator]

24. No, just someone linking to the post he is referencing...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=1951803&mesg_id=1951967

And I definitely would not call Sandpiper a troll.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

40. Well, that doesn't make two of us...

Let's just say I can't see the posts in question.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. calling people out is not nice either!

[MarianJack]

35. Somebody Gave Me a Gold Star Back In Feb.

I was SO psyched!

I'm not aware of being on any ignore lists.

I put one guy on my ignore list once, but I have no idea why. I think that I hit the wrong button by accident!

I'm usually pretty respectful in my comments. In 2+ years here, I've been in only 1 flame war, and I'm still a little embarassed about it. If somebody's comments really annoy me, I usually don't even respond, and I avoid inflamatory threads like the plague!

Congrats and Peace, mainegreen!

[Mutley]

36. I think some people are a little overzealous here on DU.

With so many members any one of us is bound to have a disagreement with someone sometime. I've had all sorts of disagreements here, and I usually try to avoid conflict.

I didn't see your remarks on immigration as inflammatory, or outrageous, or freeperish. People could disagree with you, sure, but I don't see why anyone would put you on ignore for that.

I don't know if I'm on anyone's ignore list, and I really don't care, either.

Congrats on your star! :)

Defending minute men is another.
