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:

> 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**.
