> 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.

I have not been back there today but I saw nothing that indicates he does not have an ignore list. When you have someone on ignore it shows that they posted. It doesn’t disappear for you. It just doesn’t show any content. But it does give you the option to click on and see individual posts if curiosity gets the better of you. No reason to think that no one is on his list. One of the reasons I don’t have an ignore list is because I would probably just click on each post anyway.

Brazil performs an important function. Anytime we are on the same side of an issue I know I have to go back and rethink my position.

He’s discussed the mechanics of his own personal variation before. He may very well be using the current ignore functionality as well (although I doubt it given his posting behaviour), but he actually maintains his own, manual list on his blog.

At the risk of causing you pain 🆒 could you provide a link? I’m having trouble picturing what is going on here.

Like [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15880818#post15880818).

I think he does what a lot of us do, myself included, but he makes a point of announcing it.

You may want to try harder. You and I disagree 79% of the time, and yet I don’t find you annoying.

Oh, well yes that would be irritating!

Totally off-topic but fun to mention anyways… if you surf on your phone and have someone on your ignore list, they _do_ disappear entirely. No temptation to click and see what they really said after all. The only chance you’ll be assaulted with what you don’t wanna, is if another person quotes them. Otherwise, it’s bliss and I highly recommend it.
