[QUOTE="fxdwg, post: 720416, member: 5135"] Perhaps publishing an "Ignore List" is an attempt to establish a sense of power over those on the list? Like a Boy Scoutmaster having a demerit list. Only by doing what the Scoutmaster says can you get off the list. Karen Horney wrote about Ten Neurotic Needs. Here's a few that come to mind regarding this subject: [B]4. The Neurotic Need for Power[/B] Individuals with this need seek power for its own sake. They usually praise strength, despise weakness, and will exploit or dominate other people. These people fear personal limitations, helplessness, and uncontrollable situations. [B]5. The Neurotic Need to Exploit Others[/B] These individuals view others in terms of what can be gained through association with them. People with this need generally pride themselves in their ability to exploit other people and are often focused on manipulating others to obtain desired objectives, including such things as ideas, power, money, or sex. [B]6. The Neurotic Need for Prestige[/B] Individuals with a need for prestige value themselves in terms of public recognition and acclaim.
