89. I have three members on ignore

Mon Oct 14, 2013, 07:17 PM

Oct 2013

Used to be four, but one was TOS'd recently ... which tells me my instincts are good. All, in my opinion, aren't interested in genuine dialog. For example, one finds anti-semitism in just about everything. Another, sexism. Both are plain irrational in their efforts to twist and contort an issue to "prove" their accusations.

In the end, I agree with you. Used judiciously, the ignore feature is a godsend. However, if one is using it to purge and cleanse the site from differing opinions, you're doing yourself a disservice and aren't quite grasping the concept of the website.
