I just emptied my ignore list, anyone else wanna do the same?

[NightWatcher]

so to all you raging Hillbots (kidding) "HI", you know who you are. Just goofin on you. I really dont care that much anymore about the silly season of politics anymore. I'm starting to think it's all as real as professional wrestling anyway

[yourout]

1. I can't.....my blood pressure would go up in a hurry if I did.

[backscatter712]

4. I just filled mine.

The trolling has been damned thick lately.

[Kahuna]

42. That's what I'm saying..

:scared:

[knixphan]

50. lol - I know what you mean!

[zabet]

2. Don't have anyone on ignore.

:shrug:

[boppers]

3. It's kind of amusing.

I emptied my list a while back, now it's just plain... entertaining, watching folks play pretend.

[gristy]

5. I've been thinking about it, but I'm kind of scared

But then again, I don't see too many "ignored" (42 on my list) in the threads I read these days, so maybe it's ok to do it now. I dunno, maybe I'll wait until Wednesday... :scared:

[SwampG8r]

21. they been handing out tombstones lately like they were candy

[Buzz Clik]

6. I cleaned out the tombstone list, but my beefy Ignore group will stay just that.

[davsand]

8. I got rid of the tombstoned on my ignore list and cut it in half.

I figure I'll just hang onto the rest of that list until a nominee is announced and maybe I'll be able to keep from stroking out on the stupid.

7. No way

I have a nice, sensible GD-P organized and I'm keeping it that way for the duration.

[TheDoorbellRang]

9. I've only got four left on my list

I started with about 40 back in February. (I, who used to pride myself on never using that feature.) Since then, every week I'd release a few back into the wilds of GD-P, and several others on my list ate the granite cookie. Just 4 left now, and I'm holding onto them because they all have disabled profiles.

[polmaven]

10. Never had one to begin with

so it'd be hard to empty it.

Can I play anyway?

:toast:

[FogerRox]

13. Same here polmaven, good on you.

I dont even now where the ignore button is.

[last1standing]

11. Anyone on my ignore list will stay there until they're tombstoned.

I only put those on there who can't handle themselves as human beings so why would I want to see them again?

[FogerRox]

12. I have never had an ignore list, never used it.

I welcome all to keep it the same way.

[mcctatas]

14. I can't remember exactly why I put the 2 people on my list on it...

but I don't know if I'm willing to risk it quite yet (one has been on there forever!) :)

[rug]

15. I don't know if people here are more obsessed with tenths of a percent in PA or their ignore lists.

[TK421]

18. That's a tough call there !

:rofl: I'm glad that whole debacle is over and done with ( or is it? ) anyways, I suppose PA wasn't that important after all!!

[sniffa]

16. That would take too long

[high density]

17. Nope. I tried that a month ago

That lasted for about 10 minutes before I had to start adding the same people back to it again. Some agitators are very persistent.

[Madam Mossfern]

19. I've got only one person on my ignore list

and I don't remember who it is. I guess it worked, I think.

[elocs]

20. No.

[davidpdx]

22. I have quite a few on my list

and won't empty it until the primary is over. I go through and drop those who have been tombstoned, but that's about it.

[Erin Elizabeth]

23. Not yet.

Gonna see how Tuesday goes. Really I'm going to see how this week goes.

[On the Road]

24. I WIll Join You

I've only had two people on it (ever), an one of them I took off a long time ago.

[Cheap_Trick]

25. How do you know who's been tombstoned?

Is there a list or something?

[Raine]

33. Go to your ignore list

and click on the name, when the profile comes up it will show a tombstone if they have been banned. The only other way to find out is if someone happens to mention that a particular poster is now eating the granite.

[Cheap_Trick]

44. thank you n/t

[juno jones]

26. Considering that the only people on my ignore list are there because

they generally spam with variations of the same post interjected at random even in non-primary threads, I find no point in re-instating them for the duration of the primary. They have nothing to say or teach (besides a buddha-like patience, I suppose...) and I have better things to do than wade thru their drivel.

Funny thing is, I don't miss out on much. I rarely am denied access to posts on the main page due to ignoring the poster. Which goes to show that the ones on my ignore list aren't really contributing much to this place anyways.

[newmajority]

27. Ask me again on Wednesday.

I'm hoping the professional Hillbots will suddenly be "raptured" back to Al From Land once Hillary concedes.

[silverweb]

28. Tuesday night.

Everyone will get a fresh start Tuesday night.

[tritsofme]

29. I find ignore lists to be very childish.

And I have never really understood how someone else sitting in front of a computer in their home can upset a person so much.

[burythehatchet]

41. That's a comment that may be valid for you, but for me, DU is about the only

online community in which I participate. The operative word here is "community". So regardless of how impersonal the technology that brought me here is, my 6 years of interactions here have led to online "friendships" and in many cases real life acquaintances. So the experience that results is not entirely indifferent that old fashioned friendships. When that dynamic exists, the influx of trolls and disruptors is akin to nice party where a bunch of thugs show up to cause trouble. Ergo, I LOVES me my Ignore list.

[RichardRay]

30. I empty mine each Sunday evening...

then I grit my teeth and just skip by the one liner sniping and wilfull misconstruing. By mid-week I start putting people back on ignore and by the next weekend it's about the same size it was the previous week, with pretty much the same names on it. It's only about 6 or 8 users, but they're amazingly consistent in finding their way back onto the list.

[SeattleGirl]

31. I did that a couple of weeks ago, when I had 35 on my list.

But my BP immediately went up, so I had to put them back on. And now I'm up to 45.

[MadBadger]

32. I've added about fourteen names to my list

All for my sanity. I'm also looking for anybody who joked about the derby horse being killed. I'm putting them there too. Those "people" dont deserve anybody's time of day.

[SoCalDem]

34. Um no.. But DefCon 2 always "paroles" them and they run amok

saying stupid stuff and scaring the little children :)

[Eurobabe]

38. Oh NOES, pleez NOT DefCon2!!!

:scared: :scared:

[intaglio]

35. Hey I've just repopulated it!

it is as high as it has ever been - 6, oops sorry, 5 people! I don't like using it but it it is sometimes needed for my sanity.

[GoneOffShore]

47. Wow! You're really tolerant!!

Mine is presently sitting at just over the 120 mark - Mostly snipers (not that kind) and profile-less, unthinking supporters of either candidate. Or those addicted to the woo-woo koolaid of various sorts - the anti scientific crowd and members of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Outrage - Think of the Children parish or Concern Troll division.

It keeps my blood pressure down and I don't have to get burned by teh stoopid.

[JCMach1]

36. I have NEVER put anyone on ignore...

that includes all ya'll irritating people (you KNOW who you are!!!)

[Eurobabe]

37. Nah, I don't have time to sort through their ignorant

shit. I'll leave mine the way it is. At least this way the most obnoxious ones are quarantined like the rabid dogs they are.

:hi:

[shaniqua6392]

39. I have never put anyone on "ignore".

I don't care which one of them wins, so what people say does not bother me a bit. I think the ones that get all uppity about their favorite politician because they are so "perfect" are hilarious! One would think that we would be more scrutinizing of politicians, regardless of who they are, especially after all we have been through. But I guess not. Call me cynical....but I prefer to remember that they are not perfect and they both have flaws. So I criticize both and praise both when they are deserving.

[burythehatchet]

40. Before anyone does that, ask yourself this, "would I want to entertain the musings of

a person like that Nash lady who travels the country asking Obama about his flag pin preferences?"

Thought so.

[spinbaby]

43. Nah

Usually they just get tombstoned anyway. I have a pretty good instinct for picking out the trolls.

[Hatchling]

45. I've only got two on my list.

One went on ignore before the primaries, and when we go to DefCon2 I see that she still belongs there. Rabid, very rabid. The other guy got TS'd a long time ago and I never got around to letting him out.

[walldude]

46. Never had any names on mine...

Well one but that was way before any of this lunacy started.

[JimGinPA]

48. An Ignore List Would Take Some Of The Humor Off Of This Board For Me...

My blood pressure goes up occasionally, but far less often than I laugh out loud at some of these "earnest" idiots.

[Barack_America]

49. And lose my little "graveyard" of tombstoned crazies?

No way!

But good on you for having more faith in people than I do.

[stillcool]

51. I did that a while back..

and it didn't work out too good. I am not good at 'pausing when agitated'.
