I propose a “5-Day **octopus** Plonk Challenge.” It’s easy! Just follow my lead and put him on ignore. After five days, if you feel that your life is in any way diminished, you can take him off your ignore list. Bet you won’t, because you’ll be much happier (and so will I, not having to see the fucking twit’s inane posts every time someone quotes him). ---

Does ignore keep you from seeing quoted posts?
