Meshugger Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ignore list? Oh please, such things are for mental pussies anyway. Heck, even Hitler BruceVC can say something interesting from time to time. You can still read messages from people you put on ignore. For example you can still read posts from Hitler BruceVC (or whoever you ignore) if it seems worth doing so. I admit I use the Ignore list, even though usually its because they're people who post large volumes of what is, to me at least, dribble and I was getting carpal tunnel scrolling past walls of text. I can recommend any of the *chans for some anonymous ****posting. It's an art in itself. Super-fun, it's super-awesome! Here, it's another matter though. Ignore list? Oh please, such things are for mental pussies anyway. Not really. I've used the ignore list before. Not because I can't take criticism or "badthink" but because some people just never post anything worth reading. Might as well read poems on a bathroom wall. Here I sit all broken hearted... came to **** but couldn't because of patriarchy. Besides, i enjoy a platform were one can exchange ideas in an eloquent manner, Snrk! No need to defend yourself. You do what you want do, but before you know it, you will miss something of great wonder!

Blarghagh Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Obviously I don't currently use it. If I put, say, russian trolls or something on my ignore list I wouldn't see their posts that obviously don't adhere to the forum guidelines, now could I?

Amentep Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 You can't ignore Moderators. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartimaeus Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) You can't ignore Moderators. Yep. Don't think I've ever been on a forum where you could. I admit I use the Ignore list, even though usually its because they're people who post large volumes of what is, to me at least, dribble and I was getting carpal tunnel scrolling past walls of text. Yes...and I love opening up a person whom I've put on my ignore list's post, skimming it for a couple of seconds, and thinking, "Yep, that's why I did this." I just wish I wouldn't view their posts so often to reaffirm that I'm correct in expecting what I'm now getting by viewing their posts. Edited February 16, 2016 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Malcador Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You can't ignore Moderators. Sure I can, I haven't paid attention to them in years! Why has elegance found so little following?

Guard Dog Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 You won't find any libertarians on Free Republic. That is all Republicans of the "neo-con" stripe.

Guard Dog Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I don't remember specifically but I do know it was about the Patriot Act. I was and still am against it. GWB was President then and he walked on water over there. Remember what I said about how people are willing to tolerate the worst kind of overreach as long as it is "their guy" doing it? It was in that vein.

Elerond Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I use ignore list (mostly to ignore signatures, but also some people whose posting style/messages just bore me), but you BruceVC aren't on it, I can promise if you had such fears. And I am not sure who got offended by this sentence "In my country people like me help people make the right decision....think about it Elerond wouldnt it be better not having to think about a solution when I can just tell you the right answer.....", as it was targeted to me and didn't offend me, so... I didn't reply to it because I didn't feel that I had anything worth my while to say. And debate before it was just typical reflex debate where somebody in internet said something that I strongly disagree so I need to reply to it (you probably would be surprised how many times I write long posts to answer to something that somebody has said that don't have anything to do with the actual topic here just to delete it before I post it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
