[POLL] How often do you show/hide persons on your ignore list?

[gweedo]

My hypothesis is that the ignore button is largely used to give people justification for not responding to others, but users still often show posts of the people they ignore, just because they are curious what that person is saying.

From what I see the people who have the most ignores are the ones who ask the question people don''t like to be asked. Look at who has the most ignores. Reeses. Phineas Gauge. Psy. Each and everyone people who ask exactly the questions that need to be asked but no one wants to have answered. And worse - time and time again they turn out to be right.

There's also people like MPOE-PR, and pure trolls like ciuciu, smoothie, so the ensuing argument doesn't really hold up.

MPOE-PR is just telling uncomfortable truths. Now with ciuciu... yeah, I've got nothing to say about that, he's an annoyotron all right.

This is the great thing about ignore lists though, if you have an issue from someone rather than whining to mods about it and having to read their stuff you can just pop them on the ignore list and be very civil most of the time

Thank you captain obvious...


Also MPOE-PR play devils advocate so they look like a troll. Most the time smoothie is actually funny in his own way I could never ignore either of them.

I started ignoring some users recently, but than I realised - fuck it, I can handle any shit anyone throw at me, bring it on!

I don't really think it's a question of you being or not being able to "handle it", but more a question of why do you need to bother with sociopaths vomiting garbage around here?

The ignore button is not a psychological defense -- it is a time saver.

There is no such thing as worthless data. Everything and anything can trigger profound realisations.

Ignoring someone means you think they will never ever change, but that is impossible. Everything and anything can change, at any moment.

For example, yourself. You just earned your way off my ignore list. Do me a favor, and don't earn your way back on, 'k?

I have never ignored anyone... Never will.

Never say never...

Sometimes I hit the show button just to see if they've straighten up.

I have found plenty worthless contributions along with angry people unwilling to do anything other than insult me for sharing ideas that threaten their below systems, so I am gonna go ahead and disagree.

I don't have anyone on my ignore list.
