Is it rude and/or condecending to state that nobody can and/or will ever find themselves on my ignore list? Am I expressing bigotry and judgement, shame and dissmissiveness for the likes of whom would have such a closed mind or severe psychological intolorance to that which negates their value; that they sever the tie, in effect negating their existence as that person and the general negation of that persons existence or point of being? Am I considered a braggart to state that nobody will ever appear on my ignore list? As such, am I creating a situation of devisiveness which spawns hatred and transparent judgement exchange, in a situation where I could have simply kept my mouth shut? Is it proper to issue as a rule behavior which forces decption on everyone so as to discourage the ethical divide between those who are not offended and those who need to lurk in the shadows of judgement and secrecy for their own benefit? -Justhink ---

Rude? Condescending? Braggart? Mostly, you’re just being incoherent. ---

Oh, hmm… is it rude to be incoherent and use this as a stance of superiority for never placing those who are coherent on an ignore list? -Justhink ---

I know there is a rule about this, but I want to place **particlewill** on my ignore list. Most of the time I always seem to know what he’s going to say anyway. Is it rude to ignore yourself? ---

You can’t ignore yourself (at least, not by using this board’s ignore function). Check it out, if you don’t believe me. ---

yes, stating that you will never use the ignore function does, perforce, assert a moral superiority over those who have yet to disavow use of the schismistic functionality. so don’t do it. ---

I’m going to put the entire board on ignore, but me. My posts are the only ones worth reading, truly. I’m definitely going to put that Cecil guy on ignore-talk about a know it all!!! (d&r) ---

Just to confuse the issue a little more, what if you put someone on the buddy list **and** the ignore list! Which takes precedence? ---

I don’t even know what pressing the ignore button **does.** However, I was told by the rulers on another board to ignore a certain stalekr I have, so I pressed the ubtton. I don’t know what it will do, but hopefulyl, I won’t have tor ead their insipid posts. ---
