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.
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?
::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.
