Pees in the brown Koolaid
A certain poster brags in his signature line about the forum members who are on his "ignore" list.
To me, thats pretty much the same thing as plugging your ears and saying "na na na, I'm not listening to you."
If a person feels the need to "brag" about his ignore list, it means he really does care about the opinions of those he is ignoring. He feels the need to frustrate them by controlling the flow of communication and making sure that it is only one-way.
A person who truly does not care about the opinions of another...or has no desire to engage in debate with them....will simply scroll past their posts without aknowledging or responding to them in any way.
The way I see it, the only legitimate reason for putting someone on an "ignore" list would be if that persons conduct crosses the line into spam, harassment or hate speech...which is what I thought the moderators were for in the first place.
By bragging about an ignore list...one is stooping the level of those he is supposedly ignoring.
Just my humble opinion.
