Does anybody else get the sense that the ones who have now gone off on about how "the ignore system will ruin everything and is pointless and should not be implemented" are the ones who are most in fear of being ignored?

It is making me think a out adding names to my list.

I doubt after dealing with it for over 8 months it will say anything of interest. If it has already and I missed it well, I haven't been lost in a thread yet. I also have it clearly stated in my signature who I do have blocked. The boards have never been freer.


Those Blocked: SueStorm. N2N Nate. Good riddence to stupid! Rad-Z, shill begone!

I've got those plus a few more. I haven't missed a thing.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

"Well Marianne2, you have the right to do that of course, but Suestorm said something very interesting, and now you will never know what it is. And even further, from now on every reaction that people will write to one of those 3 people you blocked will not make sense to you, or you only know half what it's about, so I hope you don't turn into a poster that sounds like she doesn't understand what's been said, or that says things that have already been said, etc."

Clearly you don't fully understand the feature. As others have mentioned, if you must know what a person you have blocked said, you can hit reply and see all the responses in the thread, even of those you've blocked. Honestly, who cares. This is just an Internet message board. If I miss something that a troll says that is actually interesting, it's not the end of the world. I haven't used the block feature yet, but I just don't care.
