I notice you all the time. I could write a little paragraph describing you:
You’re in your early twenties, live on the West Coast somewhere, IIRC, don’t have any love interests (maybe because you’re shy), although you’re options are certainly open ;), I seem to recall you have dark hair, you flirt a lot but not too much or too strenuous, and didn’t you just break your leg on your way to visit another Doper so were laid up in hospital. Or am I thinking of someone else?
Hope that’s correct and helps your ego. That’s all from the top of my head. Just because we don’t comment on everything you do doesn’t mean people don’t notice you out there.
That’s hilarious! Thanks for the laugh this morning!
So you’d probably be disappointed to learn that my username is just my favorite color combined with my first name. I’ll look into getting the yellow milk jug just for you, though.
Ah, but that can occur simply because you’re never inflammatory or write really contentious posts. If you’re a well-thought out, common sense, mediator-type poster, then you won’t raise the ire of anyone. So you may just have a bazillion Dopers nodding their heads in agreement with you but with nothing to add to your post.
Here, try starting a thread that specifically offends every ethnic group, culture, and minority you can think of, and be sure to add that “Yes, the Earth is flat because Bush created it that way”. See if that works better for ya.
And yes I have recently discovered that the ignore function is fantabular! I’ve found that there are just a couple posters who consistently pop into a thread just to shit on it, and I’m finding that the ignore function makes my overall Dope experience much, much more enjoyable.
I don’t particularly care if I’m on anyone else’s ignore list. If that’s the case then clearly we’re not communicating anyway, so it’s no skin off my nose.
Some time ago I started an “Am I Invisible” thread because I would post answers to questions and then 25 other posters would post guesses or conjectures or rumours after my post as though it didn’t exist. Lots of people said that it is not a unique experience.
I’ve always wanted to start an “Am I Invisible” thread because I often post answers to questions and then 17 other posters would post guesses or conjectures or rumours after my post as though it didn’t exist. I’m pretty sure, though, that this is not a unique experience.
Okay, I’ve never used the Ignore function, and a question just occurred to me:
If I had, for example, Don’t Ask on my Ignore List, what happens when he creates a thread? Is he truly invisible? Do I see subsequent posts with no OP?
I guess I could just try it and see but I’m too damned lazy.
Darn it, TellMeI’mNotCrazy. I’d already typed up that “1960s” joke, previewed, scrolled down a bit, and saw you beat me to it. Once. In 1960. For abo gunshot thump
What happens when, feeling a bit conflicted, I put ShibbOleth on both my ignore and buddy lists? Or, feeling less conflicted, try to add ShibbOleth to my ignore list twice – does it cancel out, or does it become double, secret ignore?
Exactly. I know we’re not supposed to talk about it, I don’t think there’s any harm in saying this. FTR, I have no one on my ignore list.
I don’t really see the point. There’s 30,000 members, I can’t avoid someone who annoys me? And I’d rather see them and be able to defend myself if someone did say something about me.
Thanks. As long as you’re fielding basic dumb questions 101, what does the Buddy button do? Is it sort of analogous to a Stalker list? Or does it make sure you don’t go diving by yourself or get lost when venturing into GD?
Oh, I see. I added you to my Buddy List. Then I clicked on “Open Bussy List” and there was a pop up that listed your Userid as being currently logged on to the Dope. And there was a list of “my buddies” who were not logged on.
It’s exactly like the Buddy List in AIM (if you use that.)
