Have you forgotten the main theme of these message board, “Fighting Ignorance Since 1973?” This is supposed to be a non-ignorant message board. I don’t want to put **James Otto Sweet Heart** on ignore because she may have something valuable to say and putting on her ignore is being ignorant. There’s always something you can learn from another poster. Therefore, in my opinion, the ignore function should be abolished. As for her signature, I think it would be much less annoying if she didn’t take up so much space in the course of typing her signature. Right now she does this: God bless you always!!! Holy It would be better if she did this instead: (type message here) God bless you always, Holly If she can make it less distracting, take up less place, and make it less noticeable, like **Shodan’s** signature, it won’t be nearly as annoying. I am going to suggest this to her in one of her Pit threads some time in the near future. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-witnessing-restricted-to-great-debates/651157)._
