Don't You Just Love It when a Poster announces in Open Forum that
they are putting you on Ignore. Gawds, it is funny to me.
= new reply since forum marked as read
I just wave Buhbye 
announces they are putting Person B on Ignore how does that make Person B the Toad? Person B just gave back as good as they got to my way of seeing it.
Looks to me like Person A can dish it but, can't take it.
I wish all the folks who'd put me on ignore had told me they were doing it. I'd like to know who they are!
I just think it is hilarious. Ignore can be useful. I miss Ignore Threads from DU2 but, even then I only used it sporadically and never as a permanent solution and I, for sure, never announced to someone that I was putting them on Ignore. It just seems childish to me to tell someone. Honestly feels like they have given up and are running away while at the same time sticking out their tongue, that is how I visualize the action.
It is so funny to see them running with their tongue hanging out 
Otherwise, it's just my own weird sense of curiosity that makes me want to do it.
I like how you think!
I had forgotten about The Jury Blacklist.
(just kidding!)
kind of creepy to do it that way, I think.
Guess If I am going to be informed of it, I would rather be told publicly
Nah, just couldn't do it.
Funny how they Never Announce that action

I'm not an insufferable ass (at least not a BIG one), though I don't suffer bullies gladly. So I think
the folks ignoring me because of my attitude are minimal.
.
Some don't like my subject matter or approaches to it. That's OK -- I don't want to force anyone
to view my posts.
.
I think most don't like my "dots" nor my style of presentation. I use lots of physical space in a kind
of text/not-text fashion. I've always found this easier for ME to focus on material by others, so I
USE that technique in my posts, too.
.
Some used to accuse me of "spamming". I can't understand what kind of spamming they're talking
about and they would NEVER get specific when asked -- I think someone may have said I "spammed"
and then the others would repeat that, but be embarrassed when they realized that their justification
was, "Well... BOBBY said so." The closest I could come to it is my habit of posting all at once rather
than one at a time over an extended period of time (6 at a time max and not the traditional six "same"
posts that one usually associates with spamming -- but six distinct and independent posts). Even
when someone just posts "x" over and over, DU's spam filter (I don't know if it's still in existence)
wouldn't kick in 'til after a dozen or more posts.
.
The dots that I use -- people would declare them annoying... even obnoxious or "maddening". There
were more than a few folks (many of them would show up together) who put a lot of pressure on me
to change my style. Even if it were not there, that would raise questions, but ESPECIALLY with the
Ignore function present, this was much more an example of control issues on their part than the
inescapable "torture" that I "subjected" them to.
I can see many valid reasons why people would put someone on ignore, but the announcement of
putting someone on ignore reminds me of gradeschool playground behavior -- covering one's ears
with one's hands and chanting "LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA"!!!
.
It's a little weird and a lot funny. I think the last time it happened my response was "I miss you
already". It's kind of a Schrodinger's Cat conundrum -- "If I don't see a responsed from them, do
they have me on ignore or not?"
.
And while whether a cat is dead or not would concern me, being on Ignore or not does not.
.
I don't believe I've ever put anyone on ignore (though that might not be the case if I were to
spend more time in Meta or GD or certain other groups where obnoxious and/or bullying behavior
seems to be a norm). I find myself thoroughly capable of ignoring someone whose posts I've found
to be distasteful without any kind of tool needed.

Perhaps SOME of the people who have me on Ignore are in the background of this pic, while I
(note the avatar) am in the foreground).
