How many DUers do you have on your "ignore list"?

[jefferson_dem]

Just curious.

I just baptized my list with its first member (not telling who)...and am feeling kind of relieved.

[H2O Man]

1. Zero. n/t

[ixion]

9. Yep, me, too: Zero

I don't believe in ignoring people, no matter how annoying I may find them. :)

[rucky]

2. I don't use ignore.

I'm well-practiced in the art of tuning people out. Just ask my wife.

[itsrobert]

3. None, right now

but I suspect once Hillary loses the nomination there will be dozens to add at that time. You know how sore losers can get.

[hobbit709]

4. I don't ignore, I prefer to be rude in person.

[existentialist]

54. It's more fun that way.

I agree--sometimes . . .

[displacedtexan]

5. 2, and they won't stop replying to my posts.

Sometimes, I'm tempted to "unignore" them, in order to
see what they've posted, but I haven't. So far.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. Be strong

it isn't worth un-ignoring them. Remember, your blood pressure is more important than anything they have to say.

[displacedtexan]

39. Thanks!

I need that sage advice!

[1corona4u]

6. 5

[MuseRider]

7. Zero at the moment.

I use it sparingly because even though I don't always agree with someone I can still gleen information from what they say. When I use it it is for a "heat of the moment" problem that threatens my blood pressure or my existence here on DU. After a few days I take them off. I find it easier to just stay out of threads I know will piss me off. :)

[awoke_in_2003]

23. Bingo, even people who drive you nuts

can come up with something good once and a while (btw, zero for me, too)

[NMDemDist2]

33. that's how I use 'ignore' too

some people will get on my last nerve on certain subjects but once the issue cools down I clear the ignore list

edit cuz I can't type on Saturday mornings...

[sniffa]

8. 39

[scarletwoman]

10. None. I've never used the DU "ignore" function, I have my own. Here's how it works:

I look to see who's written a post; if it's someone whose opinion doesn't interest me, I don't click on that post. Works like a charm.

[rjones2818]

11. Zero

How else can you tell what the dark side is thinking?

:evilgrin:

[DFW]

12. Zero here

I guess I'm just not around enough. Or maybe, I'm on the ignore list of
so many people, I am off their radar already. But it's just not something
that seems worth bothering with, although there are definitely some people
here I would ignore if they started getting on my case habitually. So far,
they don't seem to think I'm worth the trouble, and on that point, at least,
I agree with them!

Not that being consumed with lonely righteous anger at all who disagree about
anything is exclusively a Republican trait, but if Republicans don't have a monopoly
on that, they are definitely close to cornering the market.

[kedrys]

13. One

and that only in the last 2 weeks. I just couldn't deal with it any more. Call it a stress-reduction technique.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

14. Not at the moment

but there are times when certain posters simply get to me and I put them on IGNORE. Helps a lot to reduce stress.

[Adelante]

16. More than 10

I will empty it after the primaries. When I realize it's hopeless to think a poster will ever do more than disrupt a discussion with incessant nastiness, contribute nothing to a thread but insults and snark, derail rational discourse, fuck 'em, they go on the list. Not having to wade through the trash makes reading more efficient and a lot less stomach-turning. I couldn't care less about missing a few threads as a result. There are supporters of every candidate on my Ignore list, btw, including my own.

[Evergreen Emerald]

17. I had three people on ignore for awhile. The ones who keep

posting the same negative obsure right-wing posts of a specific candidate. It does help your blood pressure. I took them off when I calmed down.

[stillcool]

18. I have taken advantage..

of the ignore function many times, but at this moment I am not ignoring anyone.

[rosesaylavee]

19. One.

And she moves on and off it frequently. Mostly, I use IGNORE as a stop gap for me to not chew her out everytime she attacks someone or me personally. On the other hand, I support her right to be here - I value her overall contribution to discussions more than she would probably understand.

Rather contradictory, but there it is.

[tammywammy]

20. Zero

[Madam Mossfern]

21. None

I'm too curious.
I always end up unignoring them to read the post anyway.

On other forums I have used the feature a couple of time for people who only hurled insults, but unignored them anyway.

[stillcool]

22. I spoke too soon...

just added another one.

[elizm]

24. All of the Hillary supporter hate-throwers. ARE there any Hillary supporters here...

...that are not?

[Ian David]

27. I'm Hillary-Neutral. n/t

[ElizabethDC]

34. I'd like to think I'm not. And I can think of a few others who aren't too bad, either.

:shrug:

[elizm]

37. Good to know! :)

[Forkboy]

50. You are DEFINITELY one of the good ones!

You're usually the first Hillary supporter I think of when I'm talking about the ones who are cool. :thumbsup:

[ElizabethDC]

98. Awww, thanks Forkboy, that's really sweet. :) n/t

[IA_Seth]

36. Just this person..

Ha ha. Just kiddin.

But I am leaning Hillary, and I don't think I'm that big of a jerk or anything (Im sure I have been once or twice). Maybe once I decide to officially caucus for her I'll be ignore-worthy?

[elizm]

38. Hope not!

:hi:

[Ian David]

25. I've been told that my ignore list is a "Who's Who of Woo-Woo."

On occasion, someone will post something in GLBT, for example, complaining about ignorance and bigotry in a thread on GD, and all I will see is a bunch of "ignored" posts when I get there.

The DU that I live in is a much smarter and more tolerant place than the one many people see.

I haven't counted, but I think I have between 30-50 people on it (although many are probably tombstoned already).

[Ian David]

29. Actually, it looks like more than 50.

I just cleaned-out a bunch (but not all) of the deleted profiles. Also found a few tombstones in the list (manic expression, raysr, rman, Ninja Jordan, DoYouEverWonder, etc.)

But it's still around 50 names.

[cynthia]

78. using that button makes my time on this site more sane

If there's one thing I don't need is to read a post by someone who gets my blood pressure soaring. my list is a long one, more than 10

[Lucinda]

26. Zero...but I have been tempted. :)

[donsu]

28. zero

I want to hear what everybody has to say

[DeeDeeNY]

30. None

My curiosity would get to me.
Besides, I want to be constantly reminded that there are many who share my general political leanings who can be just as obstinate and closed-minded as those on the "other side."

[frogmarch]

31. None n/t

[PatSeg]

32. I don't need a button to "ignore" people

[MethuenProgressive]

35. Man... another blank post?

Just kidding, JD - I have no one on ignore.

[ruggerson]

44. Who said this?

:P

[2rth2pwr]

40. The ignore button is for

weaklings.

[ChiciB1]

41. I Ignore The Ignore Thingey! Just Me... n/t

[LWolf]

42. Zero.

There are some DUers that I don't bother to read or respond to, but I don't need to hide them to accomplish that.

[ruggerson]

43. None

I think it's dumb. If you can't have an argument with someone, even if it gets heated and over the line, at points, why are you here?

[bobthedrummer]

45. zero

[libodem]

46. Zero

Some people surprise me me by being reasonable on some issues and questionable on others. Ya just never know. I've tattled with the alert button when I think there's a freeper in the house, but other that that, I'm cool.

[NoPasaran]

47. Fewer than I thought

Only sixty-nine.

[NoPasaran]

69. Okay, make that seventy

[NoPasaran]

71. Errr, seventy-one

[NoPasaran]

73. Seventy-two!

Busy day!

[NoPasaran]

81. Would you believe---

Seventy-three!

[NoPasaran]

87. Ooops, I did it again!

Seventy-four

[silverweb]

48. Two different lists.

Only three of the most egregious are on "total" ignore both for threads they start and the persistently obnoxious/hateful replies they post.

However, I've got quite a few on "partial" ignore just for the inane or flamebaiting threads they start.

After the primaries are over, I'll clear the list completely and hope we're all on the same team once again.

[Tellurian]

49. It may be worthwhile to mention whole thread topics can be ignored..

there is a little box with an x in it at the end of the thread title. Click it and it magically disappears.

Just found out about it last year.. you can edit down your GDP page for happy time, if you need it..:hi:

[asdjrocky]

51. None-

I've never learned anything by ignoring someone.

Anyway, I find the people that try to be mean, or nasty, to be very funny. Let's face it, we're typing here people, I'm not actually afraid that any of you are gonna punch me in the nose.

[Forkboy]

52. None...I want to preserve my right to respond to anything that I think is stupid.

:)

[JNelson6563]

53. I block no one's posts so that

those I have deemed "assholes" have plenty of opportunity to repeatedly confirm for me that they are indeed such. :toast:

Julie

[killbotfactory]

55. Too many. Nearly all of them Clinton supporters.

I went through the last primary without ignoring anyone. I don't have enough time to worry about supporters of other candidates who are particularly nasty or stupid. If they post a thread I find to be idiotic, or keep arguing with me without saying anything new or thoughtful, I ignore them. It's made this place much, much more pleasant. From the replies I see to all the people on ignore, I'm not missing anything of substance.

[Renew Deal]

56. 0. Ignore lists are for sheltered people.

God forbid they read something that slightly conflicts with their world view.

[IndianaGreen]

57. Zero! I want to know what the American version of the Peronistas have to say.

Plus, by ignoring a poster it render meaningless the responses to him/her from the more sensible DUers.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

58. A big fat ZERO!

I want to keep an eye on the SOB's...

[jillan]

59. None - I would miss the best laughs of my day!

[liberalhistorian]

60. One, but only because I couldn't stand

her blatant, glaring, elephant-in-the-room hypocrisy anymore, especially when she'd post about "moral" issues. Other than that, I really don't believe in using the Ignore feature all that much, frankly. You can't keep yourself sheltered in a cocoon echo-chamber all of the time.

[Kurovski]

61. Just Skinner.

[dugggy]

83. LMAO

you are bad!

[Vickers]

89. Hey I just checked...I have a Moderator on Ignore.

It has a special little note ("Moderators can override")...I wonder what the note would be if you tried to put Skinner on there?

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

91. Do it! Do it!!

Let's all do it! :rofl:

[LeftishBrit]

62. None.

There are a couple whom I choose not to debate with; but no one on actual Ignore.

[bunnies]

63. none.

I hate to miss a good bickerfest.

[Kurovski]

64. Gossip does the heart good as well.

It's the simple pleasures.

[DurShar]

65. Zero. n/t

[BlueIris]

66. 268.

So?

[Perry Logan]

67. None. I love to hear people call Hillary a "sociopath."

[aikoaiko]

68. Zero -- ignore buttons are for the weak minded

;)

Go ahead, put me on ignore. I know you want to now.

;)

[Debi]

70. Only one and only placed on my list in the last week or so

Will probably remove from the list after 01/03. Just couldn't stand the personal attacks and bloviating. I'm certain the poster will disappear under their rock after the primaries. I am not a fan of the ignore list, and can't believe I had to resort to it. But, when the mods are so overloaded w/alerts b/c of the garbage from this race - ignore is the only way to go.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

72. I have 8 on PM ignore and 5 on thread ignore. I have 0 on reply

ignore. I voted 6-10. :shrug:

[Blue_In_AK]

74. None, but the temptation is there. n/t

[geek tragedy]

75. 25. n/t

[WheelWalker]

76. I don't need no stinking button.

[w4rma]

77. Zero. I refuse to use the feature. (nt)

[avrdream]

79. 1-2 but I think everyone has ME on their ignore list!

Because I never get responses to my posts. (It's interesting posting here - sort of reminiscent of my straight jacket days in the white padded room when the wall and I became great friends.)

[IsItJustMe]

95. Awww!!! Well, you at least got one response. Other than that, I think you either have to say

something really stupid or something really provocative to get responses.

[Armstead]

80. I put myself on ignore

[IsItJustMe]

94. I often feel like that. Sometimes I feel like I would rather listen to someone elses BS than my own

mind chatter.

[Name removed]

82. Deleted message

Message removed by moderator. Click here to review the message board rules.

[Beacool]

84. None, everyone has a right to their opinions. n/t

[MrSlayer]

85. None. It seems awfully childish.

The equivalent of a little kid sticking his fingers in his ears and repeatedly saying "I can't hear you."

[sniffa]

86. update: now 38

but i'm thinking of making it 37.

you can all back to what you were doing.

[Vickers]

88. 12.

You really have to do something pretty stupid, but at least 3 people on this thread are there. :spank:

[NewHampster]

90. No DUers but a couple of Freepers trolling our waters

:evilgrin:

[IsItJustMe]

92. Zero. My philosophy is, if you don't like the heat, don't go in the kitchen. That simple.

[emmadoggy]

93. I held out for a really long time...

I don't really like to censor the board and even though some folks can really irritate, I just move on. However, there is ONE person on my list. I just could not tolerate him/her anymore. Sanctimonious, holier-than-thou, condescending, one-note - EVERY single time. No thanks, buh-bye. At least for a while. I'll probably reinstate this person eventually, but for now, they are my one and only.

[Clintonista2]

96. Zero

I just recently cleared out the one single person I had on my list. It takes alot to get on my list.

[paulk]

97. I have over a hundred

but I've never cleaned it up since I joined and a lot of the people on my list have since been tombstoned.

[CyberPieHole]

99. 11 and counting...

it just seems to make this place more pleasurable.
