So don't have anyone on ignore. Although today Valerie something or other posted that she put me on ignore "forever," so I've got that going for me. I don't get the ignore thing -- if someone attacks me personally multiple times then maybe I'd put them on ignore, but not because they have a viewpoint I disagree with. This country was founded by people who disagree but reached consensus, and is run by two parties who disagree but still get things done (sometimes). Simply ignoring opposing viewpoints -- which is something the Tea Party promotes -- just ensures nothing gets accomplished.
