Ignore list

[Dinner]

I'm proud to say I've never had anyone on an ignore list. Sure, I pay more attention to some posters then others but to just ignore somone says more about your lack of acceptance of alternative view points then it does about the person you are ignoring. It basically says that you can't come up with effective agruments and so you've just stopped trying.

I suppose that someone could claim that certain users never post anything worth listening to but I disagree. Even Fez comes up with good posts from time to time and at a minimum there is humerous value to his posts.

So who amoungst us uses the ignore list and why? Do you ever reevaluate your ignore list or do you just perminently leave someone there to rot? Since posters tend to modify their styles over time wouldn't this be unfair?

I think it says that they are annoying ****ers and you'd prefer not to waste time scrolling past thier posts.

It seems like it would be easy enough using the page down key and in the event they actually have something vaguely interesting to say or especially stupid to say then you can stop and remark about it.

I mean there are certain people here whom I morely don't bother to read but I still give them a chance from time to time.

BTW there are several ways a person can be annoying. I know of several people (one even a member of the staff) who simply call other posters annoying when others force them to think outside of their partisan little political window.

I've never used the Ignore feature.

By annoying I mean Zorba of late, Commrade Tribune, Tipledoc, Sava occasionally but he's more amusing than not, the poster who ended all of his posts with Have a nice day grated on my nerves something fierce, etc.

Never put anyone on ignore. ( ok, once just to try it out and see it's effect)

Who's Zorba?

I aim to please.

I have a few people on my ignore list. But it is only a few people that have gone too far with personal attacks in a serious way. Mostly, I just don't care to see anything they post, but the option is always there if I get curious and want to read someone who I ignore. Only one person on my ignore list, would I classify as "right wing" or in opposition to my views. I generally love everybody... especially the more extremist posters.

If you want to discuss the ignore list feature. Fine. But if you are going to use this to pick on other posters specifically by name... This won't last long, and neither will the person that starts picking on other people.

Consider this your only warning...

[Sava]

I named no names!

EXCEP FOR MIGN< I IGNORE MING!!#@!@#

/me runs away!

[alva]

/me hopes Sava keeps running...

[DaShi]

I only have one person on ignore, and his login starts with an M and ends with ing.

Who's Zorba?

A Hellene who shall remain anonymous, who opined that North America had only a hamburger culture.

He did not pause to cite any of this hamburger culture, and proved shy of informing us how the poetry of e e cummings, the music of Bessie Smith, or the songs of Ewan MacColl in any way resembled McDonalds' advertisements.

But of course as everyone knows, kebab shops and souvlaki vendors always use Aristotle's 'Ethics' when advertising their goods.

Zorba is me! It's what dinodoc called me after I started calling him moneypenny.


WHy moneypoenny? Because he was following me around like the unfair curse, thread after thread, posting after me.

And i told him you're like moneypenny with james bond, get off my back!!!

Then he started calling me moneypeny too and I said: damn japanese always copying everything!

then he called me different characterisms, and finally ended with zorba which i warned him that i am unworthy to bear such title, but he keeps saying it.
