Today I cleared my 'ignore' list

[Not Me]

It is time for a fresh start. A time to set aside differences.

Today I cleared the names from my ignore list.

[Uben]

1. Ignored

Gotcha!

[mth44sc]

2. that sounds like a good idea n/t

[pleah]

3. I don't know, was I one it?

[Not Me]

5. fyi...no you weren't :)

[pleah]

12. :)

[politicasista]

4. I want to, but

I am thin skinned and remember too much. I know, that's not what President Obama is about.

[BlooInBloo]

6. Except for a stalker, mine's always been clear, and always will be.

[cliffordu]

8. And I thought ours was a love that lasts forever.....

[BlooInBloo]

11. You're my BOY blue!

Oh wait - I'm Bloo. Fuck - I love that line, too.

7. silly question probably,

but why even have an ignore list? I'm not being sarcastic, I don't understand why not just chose to ignore a poster's comments if you know you don't like them or want ot hear from them?

[Not Me]

9. Blood Pressure Brother Brethren, Blood Pressure.

There were a couple people that really spoiled an otherwise great primary/election cycle for me.

19. LOL I've read that a glass of red wine a day

will keep your blood pressure away. I know what you mean. I've had arguments with some simply nasty posters at times. Luckily not too many times. I hate arguing esp. if it's a troll who is just looking to start a fight.'

Btw, a new medical, home remedy (sort of) for lowering your blood pressure just came out -- but I can't repeat it because I would turn beet red. So maybe you should stick with your ignore list....or a sip of wine.

10. If someone bugs me, I just don't bother responding. Besides, even people who you don't like

come up with interesting things to say every once in a while. If someone bugs me that much, I just don't bother responding

[pleah]

13. That's what I do, too.

Been here over a year and can't bring myself to hit the button.

[The Brethren]

20. I think I have a better idea.....

if someone is annoying I'll just send them your way. LOL You can probably deal with them better. I would ignore them, but I'd probably sneak a peek and be ticked off the rest of day.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. I still have never used that function.

Been sorely tempted a few times, though.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Oh, wait, that's not true. I think I may have ignored one subsequently banned poster, once.

During the primaries. She told me she hoped I "got sick and had no health insurance", which I thought was a bit uncalled for.

[elocs]

16. Nope, I'm keeping mine. I worked too hard too make it.

The greatest invention since the "mute" button. If only I could do that in real life--legally, that is.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

17. I love the ignore list

There are shit disturbers here that I just don't want to hear from. Many years ago, this was a place for thoughtful discussion of opposing ideas. Over the years it has developed into who lives in their mommas basement and what kind of shit can they start. I don't have time for it. Ignore is my friend and I am much more peaceful as a result.

When the same people keep showing up in the same forums with the same talking points over and over again, they are not interested in discussion they are interested in disruption. Fuck em!

[Catherine Vincent]

18. Not me!

[The Straight Story]

21. I added skinner and almost everyone on DU to mine

your thread is the only one I see

[Irish Girl]

22. Ignore list is clear

haven't personally had to use that feature yet (although I was sorely tempted to more than a few times) but it sounds like a lovely idea for a fresh start.
