If I put myself on my ignore list, will I be able to read my own posts?

Here’s the error message when you try to ignore yourself:

I wonder if there would be a rule against saying or implying that you’re on your own ignore list.

Sometimes I get angry and think of pitting myself. Then I decide that I am simply not worth the trouble, and put myself on ignore. Then later, I log on under my account and take myself off ignore, without my permission.

Do you then report yourself to a moderator for unauthorized account updating.

Nah, I usually try to resolve it with myself via email.
