The beauty of the Ignore feature ...

[meegbear]

great function that.

[YOY]

1. If "ignored" couldn't reply to you it would be better.

n.t.

[Hepburn]

3. Amen!

They can still pile on snark...and carry on a one-sided conversation.

[Warpy]

5. Hey, that's the best part!

I know they're giving it their best shot and completely unable to draw me into any kind of a pissing contest that would risk my untimely demise.

I love the ignore feature. I even love seeing "ignored" try to snark at one of my posts.

It doesn't happen very often. When someone is so utterly churlish as to merit one of my ignores, he generally doesn't last long, may they all rest in peace.

6. Why do I need the Ignore feature if I just, um, ignore threads by people

I think are assholes all by myself?

Is there an added benefit that I've missed...I'm really interested in knowing, cuz I guess I don't care that much...but I always value your opinion (which is great!).

[Hepburn]

8. Why not?

:shrug:

[CTyankee]

11. Well, for one thing it's a little bit more effort than just, well, ignoring on one's own.

Maybe it's satisfaction and I could understand that. I guess I just don't care that much...and it seems to me that THAT is the best revenge!

9. Thanks for reminding me.

I should cull the tombstones from my list.

[donco6]

2. You mean ignore thread?

Yeah.

[meegbear]

4. I mean threads ... easier to use Ignore in this case

[sui generis]

7. but I also kind of wish you could see whose ignore list you are on

or at least a hover text over the reply button that says, "this bug eating manbitch is givin' you the Big Ig". Or something like that.

:evilgrin:

Ah well, DU is not intended to be a combat arena, so all in all it most certainly is a great function.

[Ratty]

10. Or at least the number of people who have you on ignore

I'd be curious to know my own piss-off quotient.

[closeupready]

12. I have 38 people on mine.

Every now and then, they will pop up, posting yet another thing that reinforces the wisdom of having placed them on my ignore list "In the FIRST place!" (Cue woman in that asthma commercial here, lol).

[meegbear]

13. I only have 2, added second one today ...

bunch of annoying posts one after another, reached the point it was easy to ignore.

[closeupready]

15. yeah, typically I put people who post low-value, high flame crap.

I would NOT ignore someone who disagrees with me intelligently, however. To the contrary, if their arguments are sound, I welcome opposition like that.

[mitchtv]

14. I have none

I never remember their names

[Touchdown]

16. Checking to see if I'm one of the two.

:hide:

[meegbear]

17. Nope, not this time anyways -- LOL

[QC]

18. Fot more than two years, BoobInBoob was the sole occupant

of my ignore list.

That was a wise choice, I think.

[WillParkinson]

19. I do not have anyone on mine...

Though I know I'm on a few. I'm crushed. Really.
