Putting some people on ignore list

I hate to say it but I have found it necessary to put a few people on this list for my own sanity. Not everyone here has it all together. Not saying I always do either. lol I feel sad to do this but I need my sanity. Anyone else done this?

@Ruthanne: I'm sorry you've had bad experiences, and hope you don't mind if I add mine here- over the years, of the many many forums I've participated on, there was only one forum ever where I had such ongoing extreme difficulties with one member that I ended up using the 'Ignore' feature; I'd been a member of the forum for many years, and never knew they had the feature, never needed it. Well, the member was so irate at being 'ignored' that somehow someway he managed to get me 'banned for life,' and I never knew what he did to accomplish that. I tried to log in and was hit with the banned message, no one informed me, and no one would tell me what happened.

There's no list Hal, some people just personally put certain people on ignore by going to their profile page and clicking that option. Sometimes they take them on and off ignore frequently. Most people can ignore those they don't want to engage with without the use of the ignore feature. And some don't feel the need to "ignore" anyone.
 

I don't know we had an "ignore" button. You don't have to read everything that is written in a Post.
As far as the 'Political' forum is concerned, we are all international and national problem solvers. That goes without saying.
 
I like to have a serious discussion with anyone.

I have put people on ignore in another forum. Not this one.

I warn them first and if they continue to do what they are doing then I put them on ignore. The funny thing is they still post to me expecting me to respond but I don't.

The ones I put on ignore? The ones who cherry pick a sentence or part of a sentence or a paragraph which I posted which changes the whole meaning and intent. I cannot tolerate that.
 
I haven't had the desire to put anyone on the ignore list. I have different opinions about Politics but I seldom reply in there because some people get so riled up if you have a different opinion then theirs. There are times I thought some posts were good even if I didn't agree. I was on another forum years ago were a woman was always saying nasty things to me, but I just didn't respond. If I did respond I would just reply with "Time will tell who is right."

Had it happen to me. He squealed to the the administrator who was a friend of his after I sent him a Private Message. Revealing a PM to me is a no no.
 
I've thought about putting a couple of people on Ignore...those who offer little but sarcasm, or criticism. But, just about the time I really got ready to do it, they got banned...or enough people told them to "shove it" that they took the hint and left the forum.

The Ignore list helps you not view the words of a forum troll that seeks to drag you down, or is stalking you. I'm sorry that happened to you, it seems.
 
I can ignore people without an ignore button. But being stalked is another issue. That happened to me on facebook. I can understand why a member being stalked or trolled would want "help" ignoring someone.
