Tell me again: why am I such a JERK...
...That I take people off ignore, when every time they're spewing the same drivel or fighting for the sake of fighting?

I keep thinking, "MAYBE someone has a valid point that I should read," and sure enough, it's like a toilet backing up all over the bathroom floor: Nasty, germ ridden, and totally avoidable.

5. Yeah, but it leaves you feeling like a jerk a lot.
That list is getting crowded, I got to tell you.

Funny thing: People I PM haven't disagreed with a single denizen of my list. Funny.

3. The first rule of Project Ignore List is you do not ask questions.
(Or something.)

4. Poster #2 is on the list.
Ah, is there anything so bitter as unrequited love? I was responding to my own posts on another thread, just to let someone know they were still IGNORED. It was fun in a perverse sort of way!

7. Huh? What makes you feel like a jerk?
Taking them off ignore, or putting them on?



Also, I don't think backed-up toilets are always totally avoidable. :shrug:

9. Taking them off, and viewing the "spew."
Was more like referring to when you KNOW it ain't gonna flush down, but you take a shot and it's all over the floor.

Jerk. Right?

12. I'm more curious as to why you'd post that thread in the first place
When you obviously had your mind made up and had no intention of listening to anyone else's point of view.

If that earns me a spot on your ignore list, so be it. :shrug:

14. I listened to EVERYONE. The one who got ignored ended with:
"I don't really give a shit."

I have better things to do than pay attention to people who argue for the sake of arguing. Some agreed, some disagreed, most were on a similar page...Killing whales for no damned good reason: not so hot. Selling dead whale carcases to the Japanese for $500K a whack and claiming you're doing a "Traditional Hunt,": hypocritical.

If they were sincere, either way, I have no problem, but snotty and self righteous combined with "I don't give a shit" in the end?

Well, you do the math.

I listen to you, frequently, and we don't always agree, but you aren't snotty and self righteous about it, and argumentative for its own sake.
