The Ignore List

Why does it have to be “bad people that make your mind hurt”?

Why can’t it also just be “dumb pricks that annoy you when you kill time on the internet”!

I would wager that people like miss elizabeth aren’t really all that bothered by the numpties they mentioned, they just think they are, well, numpties.

Its like painting a room. Theres a yellow strip of paint along the roof that annoys you, so you paint over it and viola, less annoyance. Same deal here, stick them on ignore and presto, less annoyance. Which is a good thing.

Not really.

You’re forgetting the irony and the just plain crassness of the thing. miss elizabeth posted in a thread pitting Argent Towers. She knew damn well that Argent was going to post. How could she expect to participate at all if she can’t read the guy’s defense?

If someone tells you to go fuck yourself, and he is on your Ignore list, does it make a sound?

Bucketybuck: Thanks for proving my point.

Who are you arguing with?

It’s a correction. Don’t we correct mistakes we make around here.

You know who else put Hitler on his ignore list?

Winston Churchill!

You need to repost to correct the exclusion of a question mark.

Some people try to ignore their mistakes.

At least get your history right. It should have been:
You know who else put Hitler on his ignore list?

Neville Chamberlain!

If I put myself on my ignore list, will I cease to exist?

You know what would be fucking AWESOME? The ability to put myself on other people’s ignore list.

Good one, but “Neville Chamberlain!” would have been funnier.

Ahem…

I disagree. Here’s photographic evidence of Neville Chamberlain reading a post by Adolph Hitler.

Whereas it’s well documented that the only time Churchill ever posted directly to Hitler, it was an attempted Rickroll.

Brilliant!

But you can see what Chamberlain is thinking: “I’ll put Mr Hitler on my ignore list, and the problems of Czechoslovakia will just go away.”

That pic has been debunked by snopes. The link is here

I call “whoosh” on you!

I briefly tested the function a few years ago because I was curious how it worked, but haven’t used it since.

::shakes fist at A Monkey With a Gun:: I almost fell for that ya bastid!

My 2cents: I think the ignore list just filters out The Crazy™. I don’t want to miss out on any meltdowns. Although I don’t think we’ve had any good ones here lately. Sometimes I miss TLDR.
