What would be some fine trivia is: Which Doper is on the most Ignore Lists? Wouldn’t it be cool if you couldn’t read a thread with at least 50 posts because everybody in the thread was on your Ignore List? ---

Not on this board, but on another board I do. The temptation to peek is sometimes there, though (it’s never worth it). ---

I don’t bother with that stuff. If I don’t want to read someone’s opinion I won’t visit message boards. If something pisses me off I’ll either speak my mind or move on if it’s not worth it. Most of the time I move on. ---

I used to have a couple, but the feature is more annoying than any poster themselves, it makes threads annoying to read, unless it’s someone that doesn’t post much - and then there’s no point to me putting them on an ignore list, anyway. Plus, I generally only ignore the type of people who are always derailing threads with their own schtick, and when a thread gets derailed like that I lose interest and stop reading anyway, so the ignore feature doesn’t affect that - it’s derailed whether I can read that person’s posts or not. ---

I used to have one person, but found myself un-ignoring individual posts till I wondered what my point was. ---

I don’t see the point, but then again I don’t get in to the real heated threads around here. ---

Nobody on SDMB is on my ignore list. It’s people in real life who are there. ---

There is one. He got agressive with me and pushed some psycho buttons that really messed me up for a couple _months_. It’s one thing to let comments roll off and chalk them up as coming from an asshole, but a trigger is a trigger and he said just the right thing–once a psychotic episode gets rolling my ability to recognize a trollish source doesn’t matter. I “ignored” him because I work very hard at maintaining my stability and simply can’t allow myself to get derailed. ---

Just one. Simply because every post is some variation of the same inane drivel. ---

I don’t have anyone on my list, but I have a strong suspicion that I’m on one other person’s list. ---

Two people, one of whom was banned shortly after I put them there. ---

Nope. I imagine that over the years \*someone \*has pissed me off, but the truth is none of them are important enough in my life to remember. If I see an annoying post I just move on. ---

Nobody on this board, but a few people on another board I use. Goatse me once, shame on you. Goatse me… you can’t get goatsed again. ---

I have someone on my list. It was someone I went to high school with who I didn’t like, but he thought I should date him and he bugged me all the time about it. When he found that I was on Facebook, I didn’t want him following me around in an internet sense, so I denied his friend request. But he kept requesting. So I ignored him. ---
