IGNORE ?  

RE: IGNORE ?

+1 for personal ignore list.

I think that would reduce unwanted escalations in the threads.

Not opposed to an ignore list, but you don't have to respond to the annoying ones.

RE: IGNORE ?

I think it is worth the addition.  I can see a couple I would ignore.

And usually I don’t. Anyway it’s more peaceful reading (for me) if I don’t even see some posts.

Isn't that the truth.  Silent ambivalence induced by not knowing what they said.  

RE: IGNORE ?

Got to admit, the thread most likely behind this one started out annoying but has become increasingly fascinating. Like watching a trapeze artist without a net. Swinging on a high voltage line over a vat of lava. Many things so very wrong, but the suspense!

RE: IGNORE ?

Sometimes it is simply best to not see something that can't be unseen.

I'm not too concerned about it, and it is... interesting at least!

RE: IGNORE ?

I think it‘s a personal preference. There is so much powder to make everything personal. I really need to hold back not to post anything. Watching someone banging his head against the wall just hurts. Would be much easier if I wouldn‘t see it. 

RE: IGNORE ?

Just do the best you can to be helpful.

The only person you need to satisfy is yourself.

And maybe Joan. Ignore the rest.

RE: IGNORE ?

I have found that blunt responses can be interpreted as angry or mean even if the intent is not there.  I think this is one of online communication perils.
