Is there a way to make the ignore list block the quoted text of someone on the list?

IE, let’s say I choose to place PosterA on ignore. I’d like to set it up so that if PosterB quotes PosterA, I still don’t see PosterA’s text quoted in PosterB’s reply.

Which is why most people ignore the ignore list. It’s the worst of both worlds.

I’m not really trying to be ignorant with you. I guess it just comes naturally. Human nature when you are attacked, right?

I only rarely have a problem with this limitation. For me, the ignore list is a net win.

I really can’t parse this. What are you trying to say?
