Because I've found in years past that the people I've been ignoring usually got banned sooner or later. But yesterday about five minutes after I cleared the list I ran into one user that I instantly put back on ignore. Still here.

Edit: Banned from KOS just got Banned from DU so my ignore list is empty!

I like to hear good tunes while I'm reading.

But the visual effect for the lounge is important to me as well.

It's not always easy to pick just one example of a song.

of beautiful sounds and an excellent live show.


I was trying for an original of Dylan's Hurricane, but the quality of the recording
didn't do the song justice.

I stayed with our weather theme: wind, sun, storm . . .

If I PM someone and I don't hear back, I assume they have me on ignore, and I don't PM them again.



DU2 did it better. If you PM'd someone and they had you on ignore, you got a message than they didn't want to receive PM's. And that was that.

Here's how you find out:

Click on My Profile.

Next, click on Transparency tab.

Finally, click on Show me my transparency page, and down near the bottom you will find the data on how many are ignoring you, or have you blocked from sending PM's.

to be a major faux pas, rather like inviting an orthodox jewish friend and his devote hindu buddy to hop over to macdonald's for a bacon cheese burger, or like offering your seriously mormon pal a good cup of irish coffee, or like asking the cop who's writing you a ticket for running the stop sign if he knows where you can get score a nice dime bag. the reaction was sorta what you might expect if you told the inquisition that you thought the devil gave the best blow jobs of anyone you'd ever met, or if you'd told the pta you wanted to take your kid's elementary school class to a nevada brothel to study anatomy

Tue Jan 29, 2013, 04:28 PM
Jan 2013

Am I to be so thin skinned to not accept what others write? I don't have to believe their B/S anyway if they're full of shit.

It' almost like censorship but on a personal level. I believe in complete freedom of speech. Even for KKK type assholes. It is the P/C climate that will eventually bring down what is left of democracy. What better way to expose an imbecile than for him or her to have his words read. If I have one on ignore I can't call out the bullshit.


Putting someone on "ignore" is cowardly. Grow a spine all who do use the feature.

However, after the election of a Democratic President, a certain strain of DUer emerges like Cicadas -- and they are equally annoying. I discovered that the ignore feature allowed me to have a more pleasant political website experiece. I also found that trashing a number of groups and forums improved the experience even more.
