Could it be possible to make a special little rule just for brazil84, enjoining him from mentioning when someone is on his little list? I mean, if it were a real list, he wouldn’t be replying to anyone on it, but his repeated posts about “I don’t reply to X, they’re on my ignore list” in the Pit thread on racialists is just annoying - to the nth degree. ---

That’s brazil84 in a nutshell. Don’t hold your breath - the mods seem to think he brings something to the board. ---

How 'bout adding him to your own ignore list? ---

He’s going to run out of people to talk to before long. ---

I don’t think so. Such behaviour is explicitly permitted in the pit. Only place where it is allowed, though. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7698968#post7698968](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7698968#post7698968) If you don’t like the pit rules, don’t post there. Personally, I think it’s a dreadful place where the worst posters act their worst. I can’t see brazil4’s posts being any worse than standard pit stuff. ---

He’s already been told he can’t do this outside the Pit. Annoying as this may be, I think he’s allowed to do it in the Pit for the same reason other posters can disclose who is on their “real” ignore lists. ---

He’s the guy who always bring the same repulsive three-bean salad (off-colored and smelling vaguely of inappropriate fermentation) to the potluck dinner, which nobody touches and which is dumped into a remote outside trash can the moment he’s no longer looking. ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > Damn-too bad this isn’t the Pit-a softball like that one sitting nice and pretty right over the plate… Which is why you never toss one like that _other_ than at an office picnic pick-up game. Do that at a league game and somebody will be duty-bound to launch it into LEO. 😛 ---

Never having read such a severe rebuke of both a poster AND three-bean salad in the same post .. I beseech mods to corral such vitriol down to the Pit. …_hunts for smelling salts…_ ---

Annoying as this may be, I think he’s allowed to do it in the Pit for the same reason other posters can disclose who is on their “real” ignore lists. There’s a _strong_ qualitative difference between saying someone’s on your ignore list (in a discussion about that person, say), and _repeatedly_ replying to people’s posts in a thread (hence, exactly the _opposite_ of ignoring them) to say that you’re ignoring the person. One is “talking about the ignore list”, the other is some passive-aggressive workaround actually replying to anything substantive, while still getting your own shots in. I’d have no problem if **brazil** just used the existing ignore system. ---

One is “talking about the ignore list”, the other is some passive-aggressive workaround actually replying to anything substantive, while still getting your own shots in. I’m not disputing that it’s annoying, but it’s in the same category of behavior. In the Pit, this is allowed and you’re free to bash away if you see this type of obnoxiousness. You could use your SDMB ignore list in a similar way or just constantly announce to people that you’re ignoring them without your own special website. **brazil84** has been told he can’t do this in other forums, so doing it he’s doing it there, he’s violating the ignore list rule and instructions from the mods. ---
