And it would also be different if the post being replied to was being addressed to them in some manner, but it's not. It's nothing more than trying to eliminate the crap. If you guys prefer the crap, this is the wrong place for you.
    So if I reply to someone who's only purpose in a thread is to lay a personal attack on me due to something I posted that was not even an opinion but just a non political share of manufacturing experience I'm trolling or looking for crap? The problem as I see it is a couple of posters that are so thin skinned that anything that contradicts their opinions is too upsetting for them to handle.

    Ummm, no. This had nothing to do with you but you got involved anyway. This has to do with members FIGHTING for a few years straight. Then the ignore option being used, and then sniping continuing. It ruins threads. But unless folks have you on ignore, and you are continually replying to them anyway, with sniping and laughing, then this has nothing to do with you. I said nothing at all about you, only responding about the issue with folks and the ignore issue.

    RIGHT JIM, AS I DO NOT HAVE THIS CRYBABY SUNDAYDRIVER WORM ON IGNORE.
    Now it cries to join the band to attack me because I crushed its globalist propaganda in a well reason, reality based comment in a thread..
    Should it put me on ignore and announce that to the forum openly for me to see/know I'll gladly stop correcting
    and defeating its stupidity too. ---Tyr

    I guess everything is in one's perspective, have yours checked.

    Ok, now I've caught up with this.

    Sundaydriver, I can understand and even respect your wish to help out a comrade .. but in this instance, certainly, you're misguided.

    It seems clear that my one-time feuding with FJ is in some way a factor in what's being discussed ?

    So let me say this.

    Sundaydriver, in my particular case, I spent an inordinate amount of time in 'discussion' with FJ ... except that FJ ensured that 'discussion' was nothing of the kind, but just a snipe-fest on his part. This came about, not least because I was able to demonstrate that his so-called 'Conservative' bona fides were a sham.

    I did so repeatedly. Why ? Because I believe that HONEST discussion is what's called for, on this or other boards. You come on to a forum like this, then misrepresent what you're all about to those you engage in .. and really, what's the point of it ?

    So, FJ and I got involved in protracted fighting.

    But it was pointless activity. It contributed, ultimately, nothing of value to this board, and I'm quite prepared to accept that it ruined entire threads here. SO ... I was persuaded to put FJ on ignore. Jim's point of view is no less than understandable .. as is any corrective action he may have to consider. There are standards that need to be maintained on public forums such as this.

    I don't, as a matter of principle, much like the 'ignore' function ... I feel that using it amounts to failure. Still, with FJ, there was no other recourse .. so, it was done. FJ remains on 'ignore' to this day and will continue to be.

    FJ, of course, is aware of all of this. He knows from my 'history' with him just why he's on ignore. He therefore is totally clear on what can motivate someone to take that decision, and that action.

    All this, of course, is a far cry from what YOU are apparently claiming for 'reasons' why someone would put someone else on ignore. You should now rethink your argument .. loyalty to your comrade, or otherwise.
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    You were never interested in honest discussion and were unable to see past your imagination. FACT.

    Y'all need to stand down. Jim's board -- Jim's rules. There is an appropriate way to address them. Jimbob has my opinion on the ignore function. But he is STILL the boss. I'll shut you down in a hearbeat, Everyone has PM and know who the mods/admins are. Got a problem with policy you feel free to bring it there to any one or all of us.

    Default From me Personally...

    I rather enjoy being told, or reminded by certain members, that I am on their IGNORE list. I find it comical...following their announcement; how they somehow, magically, respond to my words...or they repeat my words to feather their own nest.

    So. Thank you, to all who feel the immature need to IGNORE my posts.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST !
