Just Curious...Do You Use The Ignore Feature?

I have recently discovered the ignore feature, and have tried it twice...but it kinda defeats the purpose of the forum. At present I have no names on my ignore list.

Gosh. I don't ignore anybody. Don't know if anybody finds me so objectionable that they ignore me, though.

And the woman in the cartoon doesn't get any sympathy from me. Obviously, she's not serving her cat as well as she should.
 
:noway: .. never ignored anyone on this board. ...
but my cat, that's another matter - she thinks she runs the house at times! ..:rulez:
 
I've used it too Meanderer, I'm glad it's there. Sometimes for me, it's like turning off a show, or changing channels. I can usually watch it again later, it's all about my attitude, how I see people, and what they say. Not taking it personally, just like in the offline world;)

Reminds me of being in grade school, and making sure the kid your upset with knows, "I'm not talking to you". :wave:

I can see your point Ina, but I also remember being bullied in school, and I would not talk to those that were doing it. It was better for me to try and stay away from them.

I don't mind folks who disagree on here, but when they start taking personal jabs, or being out and out rude, that is where the buck stops with me;) The worse part is when I feel threatened and start to "fight" back, then I am not being any better then them. I think "ignore" is very appropriate for someone like me. My hat is off to those that have mastered the "don't take it personal" tool:) Denise

Hey, wouldn't a "smiley" with "Don't take it personal" on it be great, LOL!!
 
Never used it on here , everyone here has an opinion that's worth reading IMO.. whether I agree with it or not

I would use the ignore facility without a shadow of a doubt if someone was making personal attacks or stalking me...as I have on other forums. Life is too short to allow a stranger to cause you upset.

However on this forum I have not yet felt the need.
 
Not this forum but I have used something similar on another one.

For people who had the ability to rile me and the potential to bring out sharp responses from me, I would temporarily put them on the ignore equivalent. After that I would be aware that they had made a post but the content would be hidden from my eyes. However, curiosity always prompted me to override and I'd open the post anyway. It was then on me not to overreact.

These days, I'm much more placid and don't need to check myself in this way.
