Not to stir the pot, but given recent discussions over who to ignore (and noticing I am not illiciting a response), I can't help but wonder if I am already making someone's ignore list. My list only has one person on it. How many are on yours?

Four. You're not. Despite our areas of disagreement, I cannot remember a time when you've been uncivil to me (though given my history, I've probably been rude to you at least once), or when you've been irrational.
Well it's not any of you either...wait...*pauses* this isn't like one of those times where we're in a horror movie, find a body, then someone declares "Let's split up! We can find the real killer that way."...is it?

None. My scroll-down bar works just fine. And if I run into someone truly nasty I don't want to make it easy for them to post personal attacks behind my back. Just 'cause you don't see it doesn't make it go away.
However ... just because I don't actually use the ignore feature myself, doesn't mean I don't find it useful to have around. Why? Because if someone is REALLY upset with the things I post and is tempted to start an online barfight with me, that person can make ME "disappear" and solve the problem for the both of us instead. In short, I think having an iggy button around is more useful than actually using it. It's presence has a calming influence on potential flamers because they know it's there, IMHO.

So how many people are on your ignore list?

Who posted this? And who responded?? Hello?
Anyway, I have just two people on my ignore list.
(And before you go getting all sensitive, that was a joke. I have 0 on my ignore list.)

Just one, which goes against my normal policy of not ignoring anyone. It's not any of you, either.

If it is, let's not split up, let's find some makeshift weapons, secure a light source, and move with all deliberate speed toward the exit.

I dunno. I think I'm gonna need another Scooby Snack to convince me.

Okay, so I vote for a beeline to the Mystery Van then.

Four. I'm quite happy for somebody to disagree with an idea or belief I have, but if that person gets nasty, he or she goes on the list.
fiddletree
only one. Although I've noticed that posts that start a discussion by said ignored person still appear...

I honestly wonder if this person suffers from a psychological disorder.

Zero. It's like a test of willpower.
Which I fail constantly. Ah well.

Zero point zero.
Even if some are only partially there, still not ignored.

Is there anyone left to ignore? The post count overall has been rather lackluster these past few weeks, or months...

So good to know there's an ignore option. Three, and I feel much better now. Wow!

One on mine. Starts with J ends in e. Not sure it is human though.
