25, that's all it takes, just 25 names on Ignore

[RichardRay]

and this list becomes quite a civilized and reasonable place. Lots of Clinton folks making their points, lots of Obama folks making theirs, strong opinions and some strong language, but nothing beyond the pale.

Anybody got an idea of how many people post to this list? Am I at 50%? 10%?

1. Can you post your ignore list

or send it to me in mail?

[RichardRay]

3. Not right away, anyhow...

but I'll respond just so you know you're not on it :-).

4. They should make ignore lists shareable

So you can just subscribe to someone else...

[dsc]

7. posting it would be against the rules

emailing wouldn't.

[Teaser]

9. Some online environment I use

make ban lists and ignore lists subscribable. I think that's a really good idea.

18. No kidding. nt

2. I have about 10 times that many people on ignore

:)

[tokenlib]

5. I'd like to put more people on ignore..but I might miss something. n/t

[RichardRay]

6. Turn the list off and on?

I'd like to be able to ignore my Ignore List for a few minutes now and then just to see if the internecine knife fight continues, but I don't want to have to build it back up again each time!

8. Logout - Look - Login

Simple.


(I don't have an ignore list. I just know this.)

10. That's called Level 2

13. Try Firefox with the IE Tab

To see the page with the ignored people's ramblings, simply switch over. DU will show up in unregistered form (looks funny with all those ads). Simple as that.

The IE Tab is an add-on for the Firefox browser that typically shows what a particular site looks like with Internet Explorer:

http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1419

19. Great Add on, great recommendation

But disable it when you are not on the du, it has memory leaks and makes your browser less secure, since it's well.. IE.

[LTR]

23. Pretty easy with tabbed browsing

Click the icon to see the tab in IE mode.

It will not switch the other tabs, but anything other subsequent page viewed in the IE tab will render in IE mode. I'm big on using tabs, and love the center click wheel of the mouse.

11. Ignore Means "Refuse To Tolerate" As Far As I'm Concerned

It's like saying "(I'm not even going to read ANY of so-and-so's posts because there's ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE that they're going to say post something good)."

I firmly believe that ignore lists are a form of intolerance and I'm not going to apologize for saying that. (And I'm AWARE that I may be on the OP's ignore list, so don't waste your time stating the OBVIOUS).

[grantcart]

12. Some folks you can tolerate but they refuse to engage in a real discussion and just waste time nt

[theredpen]

My ignore list is an honor

I put people on ignore because their posts are so great that I can't stop reading and I never get anything done.

You're on my ignore list!

Edit: Seriously, there are people who never post anything of value. It's called "discretion" not intolerance.

[RichardRay]

14. Is it against the rules to post the ones who AREN'T?

Sorry, whoever you are, I agree with grantcart...

[phrigndumass]

15. Ha! I see one of my "ignores" in your thread ...

... and I only have 5 people on my ignore list. See? Worked already.

:D

[Barking Spider]

16. I agree w/ original post. Ignore feature has saved DU for me.

I usually don't Ignore first time offenders. Or even 2nd timers. If I recognize the name as a repeat offender, then they are banished.

If I log off and take a look at GD-P, its a MUCH different place!!

After a candidate is finally nominated, I will probably pardon everyone on my list and start building a new one.

[RichardRay]

21. Sounds like a good idea, I'll do that,,,

17. I don't have anyone on an ignore list. I want to know what people I disagree with think /nt

[RichardRay]

20. So do I (want to know what they think)...

but that's assuming they are actually thinking about what they post. After reading dozens of posts from some of these folks demonstrating that no thinking is taking place they went on the list. I can get projectile emoting from other sources, I don't need it here.

24. Interesting thread /nt

[TexasLady]

22. I couldnt do the ignore list

I kept getting too frustrated with what was being said.Im nosy like that. It is nice to have it around, though, juuust in case.

[TexasLady]

26. well shit, never mind. "just in case" just happened.

[metalluk]

25. An ignore list

leads predictably to ignorance -- civilized ignorance, perhaps, but nevertheless ignorance.

[RichardRay]

27. Information theory tells us....

that for everything of which I take notice I will, by that very act, fail to take notice of some other thing. It's gonna happen, so I try to improve the odds as best I can.
