I've never put anyone on ignore either but like you I choose not to read/participate in thread after thread where the only aim is to divide. At first I gave some of them the benefit of the doubt by reading and participating but over the course of the election it is clear what their game is all about. I only wish more people would refuse to be baited and let those threads die the death they deserve. I truly feel sorry for the people who create those threads and who only appear happy when they are sucker punching people in an online forum.
