2. That feeling wears off.
The longest I've been able to stand having someone on ignore was 30 minutes.

15. I always prided myself on not doing that, buy I've found myself using
ignore more and more often. It has made my DUing experience far more enjoyable. :hi: Hi JP! :hug:

17. Hay, Missus Grumpy! I miss you!
:hi:

There's only ONE person I've put on my ignore list that I positively couldn't stand. Anyway, I'm a very curious person so I don't usually use the feature.

I miss you! I've been posting in GD a lot recently. How are you?

19. I only use it when I fear I am going to get myself in trouble with my own
comments. I only started using it a couple of weeks ago and there are only three people on it. I'm pretty sure they know who they are. :hi: I miss you too. I got stuck in the "zillow" argument a couple of weeks ago and then got busy with work so I haven't been on as much. :hug: :loveya:

26. LOL! Same here!
That is, about fearing what I was going to say back. Heh, heh. I'm in GD doing the end-zone dance about repubs who are turning democrat over the ports issue. As usual, there's one person who would like me to feel a little empathy. I was gentle with them!

20. Ha! That's how I used to be. The one person I had place on ignore, I took
off...and he ended up getting banned. I now have three people on my list that I just don't ever agree with so why bother. :hi:

65. I've never had a problem using the ignore button.
There really aren't that many people who've made it to my ignore list, but it keeps my blood pressure so calm and my posting so productive. :hi:

22. I did that a couple of times......
But, like you, I found it frustrating because I couldn't see what the person was up to....

So I took them off! I think the longest anyone lasted there for me was maybe a week...but probably less....

It can be very helpful, though...during times of extreme duress/crisis!

23. I've never been able to bring myself to do that....Usually, when I dislike
someone enough to consider it, I realize I really WANT to hear what ridiculous, idiotic, imbecilic remark they're going to make next.

For someone as sweet and even-tempered as you to put someone on "ignore", they must have been a genuine ass!

32. I never thought using ignore was a big deal
In fact, it is very easy to use. It cleans up stupidity and obnoxiousness. My only regret is it doesn't work in real life.

It is no big deal using ignore. Not all DUers are equally worthy of my liking or tolerance.

The feature comes in handy whenever someone posts a picture thread or LOOK AT ME, I CRAVE ATTENTION thread.

Use it early and often! :D

Seriously though, I am always amused when people feel the need to apologize or rationalize when it comes to using one of the greatest features on DU. It's a tool, and one that can be used to one's satisfaction and enjoyment. To me, it's like customizing the fit. :D

61. What really gets annoying is having folks on ignore
then coming to the forum to view activities, before signing on, and seeing their threads and feeling that urge to respond. So to respond, you have to sign on and when you sign on, the ignore feature kicks in and you can't find the thread you signed on to respond to in the first place. :freak:

Or if you have like a bunch of people on ignore and they respond in your thread or to a post and others respond to them and a flame war starts but you can't see what the person on ignore said to start the little verbal battle. :crazy:

But all in all, I do so love the ignore feature :D

What I don't know can't hurt me. :silly:

Edited on Sun Feb-26-06 04:58 PM by Misunderestimator
Mainly I have used it when someone harrasses me via PM, so that they are unable send me any more. Amazing the crap people will say to you via PM that they won't say in public.
