The function is there and that's exactly what it's for.

I understand and can relate to the reluctance, but if it's going to transform your experience (and it likely will), go for it.

It's good to be back. It's been too long. Irony is they prob though I was a troll due to my low post count. I had over 10k in my previous incarnation. Trump what an absolute disaster. We thought Smirky Chimp was the worst

It's very comforting to know that there are so many kindred spirits in the world who are as gobsmacked with this shit show as we are.

I recommend it.

I ignore a few nasty people and a few people who post nothing but vanity threads.

I just shout a bit on occasion, but I make a great spaghetti sauce and I think I'm funny.


So go ahead and ignore me, but you are gonna miss something hilarious, I swear.



Or not.



Your choice.

That said, whenI somehow log out... I see them... and when I notice that there is a thread of about thirty responses and only see about twenty, sometimes, I wonder, and ach, the front page and the trending now. I have to step away and control my impulse to look.

I have dozens on ignore, especially the sea lions and moths (i.e. those who like to stir up shit and divide DUers).

No regrets.

Several on ignore tho.
Few aren’t seen anymore. I suspect they might have a new identity.

I ignore posts sometimes, but you never know when someone who has offended you in the past might come up with something interesting to say. Therefore, I have never put a person on ignore. I've been tempted at times, but the poster in question is usually an intruding troll, and is usually gone in short order.
