Reply #80: That cuts both ways with me, and I'm genuinely conflicted about expanding my *ignore* list from the

[apocalypsehow]

current one poster to a number of them, like you have.

The problem comes when that poster, knowing you have them on ignore, posts blatant falsehoods about you. This happened recently.

I belong to another board, a strictly pro-Obama board, and several members there, who have my "real world" e-mail address, lurk at DU because they enjoy the latest breaking news, the pro-Obama posts, etc. One of them e-mails me last night and tells me claims - untrue claims - are being made about me by my *ignored* poster in a thread I was participating in.

This person e-mailed me the gist of these claims. Had that person not known both my "real world" e-mail address and DU identity, and had she not just *happened* to be lurking at DU, specifically GD: P, that claim would have stood un-refuted, and hundreds of DU'ers and outside lurkers would right now believe a patent falsehood about me (several falsehoods, in fact).

So, though I'm moving more and more toward the multiple ignore solution to some of the headaches, incidents like that give me pause.

Like I said, I'm conflicted on it. :shrug:

Peace.
