Ok. It’s still your choice. Personally, I prefer keeping self-made promises to myself. That way it’s between me, the carton of ice cream and my notebook of feelings poetry. And the latter two don’t judge. Unless I stick googly eyes on them. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > Sure. And you’re cool with spoilers and you’re not at all obsessive about this. Hey, how’d you guess? _Damn_, you’re good. What I find interesting is this: as someone pointed out I am _“someone with 20k posts and Charter Membership on the SDMB_ “. And, I generally stand up for the staff here. I don’t cause trouble, am a good board citizen, etc. Yes, this is my Pet Peeve, and yes, I am going on & on & on& on about it. But Marley- why are you getting \*your \*panties in a bunch about this? I am not peeing in _your_ cornflakes. Stupid as this PIT thread may be, there’s not a day goes by without something even dumber. So- why come down from your Ivory Tower to post about this? ---

> [@Anonymous User](#): > > [**April R** convinced me.](http://boardstest.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16028327&postcount=360) You’re not listening. I never used the ignore function either. I just never thought it was a moral statement because it isn’t, and I didn’t think it needed to be advertised. **April\_R** ’s version is much more reasonable: no crap about ‘alas, I have sworn an oath!’ or “the purpose of the board.” Just ‘I don’t think it’s worth ignoring people.’ ---

More selfishly, every time you pull one of your fuckwit stunts, my inbox fills up with a bunch of thread reports and I either have to read a bunch of incomprehensible Game of Thrones posts to find out what the fuck your major malfunction is or I have to wait and keep getting thread reports every few minutes until **Gukumatz** can deal with your idiocy.

Now, I admit this thread is a fuckwit stunt of sort (aren’t all PITings of Posters?), but honestly the other post was a complete oops. But damn, I knew they got all excited and Jr Mod to the max, but to have them hitting “report this post’ like a rat jonesing for a smoke is a little crazy. I am truly sorry about my post in the GoT thread. Note the actual wording but that it was in one of “his” threads as I really truely never wanted to grace any of his shittly little piles of self-aggrandizement again. I wouldn’t piss in his mouth to put out a fire. I still think Senor Beef is an illiterate power mad asshole. But since this is really annoying _you_ , I’ll stop. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > **April\_R** ’s version is much more reasonable: no crap about ‘alas, I have sworn an oath!’ or “the purpose of the board.” Just ‘I don’t think it’s worth ignoring people.’ Yeah, you are right. Just for laughs, see how [one of my posts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16042121&postcount=45) in ATMB from several months ago contained exactly the “crap” you are talking about in an even more obnoxious and overbearing way: > [@Is witnessing restricted to Great Debates?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-witnessing-restricted-to-great-debates/651157/45): > > 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 **name redacted** 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. :o \*Name was only redacted in the quoting of this post here. The original post does not contain the redaction. But yeah, I see what you mean and you are right, **Marley23**.
