    Very true. Some folks go beyond just irritating in some cases, it seems better to just not hear from them than get all bothered and answer back to their pettiness.

    ^^^^ A fact that is being ignored.

    To me its sad that some here think that taking the approach which saves the board and its readers the hassle of wading through countless personal attack posts is somehow cowardly, fear induced and/or pansy.
    When instead its serves to do as Jim points out- eliminate the crap , stop thread derailments and let others exchange ideas and debate their stands in a civil manner.
    Additionally (as in my case ), it totally defeats the troll that was stealing my time and posting his replies to me with the sole object being to aggravate and divert me from other posts to better members by way of cutting my posting time here.
    I run from no enemy in my life, in fact, I will fight to the death if/when called for to defend my principles.
    Being a firm and committed member in believing -- "death before dishonor".. and yes that is -- "Dinosaur thinking according to modern man and his daily walk into ignorance and blindness!!
    All that is to me, logical thinking and adherence to truth and core principles...
    Being that I have no desire to hunt some moron/troll bastard up just to give an attitude adjustment that they so richly deserve, I took the most logical and effective step.
    One that I took twice before but recanted twice(something that was a great rarity for me), to give another chance and I warned that third time it would be permanent placement.. which it now is...
    Speaking now only to YOU , JIM AND MY FRIENDS HERE , THE REST OF THESE "SON A BITCHES'' CAN KISS MY ASS AND THANK GOD THEY WILL NEVER MEET ME, FACE TO FACE!
    I AM TRULY ONE MAN THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DO THAT WITH ONCE THEY'VE ANGERED ME BY SPITTING ON ME OR FALSELY ACCUSING ME...
    THAT HAS BEEN A SOLID GOLD FACT NOW FOR 44 YEARS...

    That is entirely the point of hanging out on a site that holds itself out as being for those interested in debating policy.

    The simplicity to this is Jim's the boss. He makes the rules. I can carry them out or quit. I still remember how to be a troop. I DO have an opinion. I'm certainly not trying to offend anyone. I don't know who has who on ignore except the leftwingnuts seem to hate ME a lot.

    I personally don't like the feature. It's there. As long as Jim says use it, use it.

    The real million dollar idea is to create an option where you can force someone to ignore you.

    WTF does THAT mean?

    I don't come on here to piss off people and have them ignore me. What would be the point to THAT?

    I just would like to interject that while Jim enabled the 'feature' it's up to the individual member to decide whether or not to use it. Jim, nor staff are forcing anyone to hit that button-that's up to each one of us.

    Some think it's a waste, ignore it.

    Some think it's a good thing, use it.

    Maybe for those that get caught in the heat of the moment. Even though I post infrequently I still read everything to my interest and a troll is still a troll and a ridiculous posting is still the same even when eaten cold.

    Indeed. Seems like some are upset that others have the ability to place them on ignore.

    You nailed it!! And they DO run the board!! I'm just here for when the ladies need a tiebreaker.

    Sometimes folks will go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.... And some will perceive others as such, and others will perceive them as such and some will perceive me as such. To each their own. But no harm and no rules are broken if the feature is used by anyone.
