Added The 1st Poster To My Ignore List!
I've never even thought about adding anyone to my ignore list, but I've read such dribble from certain posters recently that seem to add absolutely nothing to the subject matter except their own twisted logic and ill-mannered behavior (that is repeated over and over again), so it just made sense to not even see their posts.
I have to say, this feature is great! I am not an overly sensitive person, by all means, but I agree with some that Off Topic has been pretty bad lately. Instead of trying to silence those individuals, it made sense for me to just self-regulate the content I view. Some might say if you don't like the content, then just don't open the thread or don't open Off Topic. This does not make sense to me, because I do like most of the content in most of the threads. It is only a select few that I don't appreciate. I do like to see other points of view that I don't necessarily agree with, as long as they are logical, articulate, well thought out, respecting the fact that there are other points of view, and not degrading other posters. Name calling and trying to force your opinion on others just shows that your position is weak. The ignore list is a great tool, I expect others will find it helpful as well. Now you all can add me to your ignore list.

Scott,
I usually just skip by those postings & threads where I'm pretty certain there is junk content from certain posters. However I'm beginning to lean toward the ignore list option too. The 1% of idiots on here go along with that old saying about one bad apple ruining the whole barrel.

Lendaddy, how do you know that I'm not ignoring you already? Woops, guess you're not on my list yet.

Wow, you're right! The ignore list does work pretty good. I just put Mul on mine, and now it's just like he isn't here.

The best part is that once you get that one poster on your ignore list, 6 page threads shrink to 2 pages.
It's funny, all the other boards where he posts, he is in the same boat!

The problem is, once in a while you will be tempted to open up a post from somneone on your ignore list and you will spend the next 5 minutes kicking yourself in the butt for doing it.

No one bothers me enough to ignore completely. If it gets to be too much I just breeze over the offending poster(s) in the thread. Even when they go against the grain I may find some humor in there.
Can anyone read this? Hello? Hellllooo?

Tabs, your post reminds me of that scene in Almost Famous where the daughter told the mom "fick you" and the mom said she just cursed, but William said "I think she said FICK". I know you said I'm a fkin TOOL with the utmost respect for all the TOOLS out there.

I recently put someone on my list and I do find myself looking at their post from time to time just to remind myself why I put them on there in the first place. too much bla,bla, bla about stupid crap. Oh yea, his girlfriend is NOT drop dead gorgeous.
