A better choice than "ignore"

[tailfins]

Why not practice the skill of "leave it be" or "this person isn't worth the bother"? There's no ignore button at Wal-mart, a restaurant or a city park. Why would you need one on a message board? I think just glancing over bad posts with no reply is a better exercise in self-control.

Our egos get in the way. It's like Call of Duty. We want to jump in and save others from their stupidity.

It's just another form of censorship for the weak. One thing I can say is that in 14 years of being on message boards I've NOT ONCE stooped to an ignore list.

It's just another way of trying to control people.

I am putting everyone on Ignore, y'all suck .

Good Bye, Y'all are now on ignore, and just to prove I am doing like most that announce to the board they have used the ignore option, post something and I will respond.

If you put US on ignore, does that mean we don't have to listen to YOU anymore?

Try hitting that thing called "logoff". It works like a charm.

I'm pretty tolerant of most peoples opinions even if i don't agree.
But I've blocked 3 people over my time here. All for the same reason. I give people plenty of time and often talk to them at 1st. But after awhile, if it seems to get to the point where 60% or more of the time they are somehow getting sick pleasure out of making negative stupid comments that I take as offensive, why should i even skim over them?
There's not going be any NEW racial slurs i need to read, just the same ignorant ol crap spewed out for the past several hundred years.

If you're in wal-mart or a restaurant most people don't make loud obnoxious comments every time you're there plus you can leave. and you're not there everyday. It's a voluntary group of folks here, not sure how many of you log in daily just to read text of people who offend you personally nearly every time comment. Blocking allows me to read the others comments without useless distractions.

And I'll re-state what I said before ... it's the act of a wimp.

The fact is, the commie who has me on ignore can't handle the truth. And what do commie's do when they can't handle the truth? They censor you. If you ain'[t got the balls to back your own words, don't post them.

Hell, at least I'll go down with my ship and my Marines. This wuss wants nothing but one-sided arguments and censors anyone that tell him he and his President are fuck-ups and commies ... dinosaurs left over from the 50's.

We got a 1-on-1 forum. Put him in there with me. Hell, I won"t even call him the communist SOB he is. In THAT subforum.

Your KGB President doesn't care who he kills for an oil pipeline that isn't his.

Now bring it. And be advised: I've pissed off the owner of this board and his second in command, half the members and half the staff. If you think for a second I'll back off your commie ass, ask around.

To tell the truth, if the ignore function use provides a member with a better experience, they'd be a fool not to use it.

Use it or not, it has absolutely nada to do with manliness.

Sometimes "manliness" refers to not having to deal with another person. If someone can't get in a response to your ranting, it proves you are more "manly."
I prefers comebacks reeking of sarcasm and acerbic wit.

Shut up dummy, your on ignore.

Hell I can't see you.

I agree to a point Gunny, when it becomes a issue that is disrupting ever thread than one or both of the parties should use the ignore button, I myself just ignore certain folks but if you can't, than use the button, it is there for everyone and for everyone's benefit.

Yes, and it is exactly what Jim has repeatedly asked people to do here.

Well Jeff has told you that "the commie" is not reading your insults or brilliant in depth anti-Putin commentary Gunny.
But you know there's away to get him to see it if you want to.
i would tell you how but...
but you're a uber-manly marine... you'll figure it out or die trying i guess.

[hjmick]

You people have no idea how many times I've read someone's post, rolled my eyes, and simply passed on the reply...


Some people are just not worth the time or the effort...

Even the likes of Charles Manson has useful information: If you happen to be a homicide detective.
