Appreciation Thread For Everyone That Has Zero People On Ignore.

[JaneyVee]

Fun hearing every side of the story and debate.

Cheers to your open-mindedness.

[In_The_Wind]

1. That would be me.

[Uncle Joe]

2. Thanks, JaneyVee.

[mylye2222]

3. Certainely could be me as well.

Thanks for this OP.

[sheshe2]

4. That would be me as well.

[Stuart G]

5. I've been ignored by lots of people I know...so

why ignore people here I don't really know...Yep me too..

[pinboy3niner]

6. Another here

[treestar]

7. Thanks!

[Ron Obvious]

8. Hey, finally an apprecation thread that included me!

I'm touched.

No, really.

No, not really.

[Liberal_Dog]

9. I Qualify

[BlueJazz]

10. I seem to remember having one person on ignore about 8 years ago.

I gave it up. Too much trouble deciding who to be nice to so I'm nice to everyone.

[lovemydog]

59. Same here.

P.S. I love your username. Reminds me of Wes Montgomery and that cool blue west coast jazz.

[bemildred]

11. Thanks. nt

[gvstn]

12. Does it count if I had temporarily put Orrex on ignore in the past?

Back when he had his "[font color="red"] This DU member has chosen to ignore your posts"[/font] signature line, I got tired of being insulted so put him on ignore. When I finally got the joke, I took him off ignore. So am I good or a bit too petulant?

[pinboy3niner]

17. I don't see why you shouldn't get a pass on that

Everyone else did.

[gvstn]

23. I still think it was probably the best signature line/ruse I have ever seen.

It worked perfectly on this board. It was bright and bold enough to be impossible to miss so it was easy for it to nag at you. I let it go for weeks but eventually it really started to annoy me and I gave in to my basest instincts. Kudos to Orrex and his dry sense of humor!

Thanks for giving me a pass.

[11 Bravo]

83. I'm in. 12 years at DU and I've never used the "ignore" function.

[awoke_in_2003]

93. I have used it about 4 times...

3 times the ignore last a day or two, the 4th I just removed because I forgot I had someone on ignore.

[awoke_in_2003]

92. He got me, too...

I didn't ignore him, but for weeks I was wondering why he had chosen to ignore me. Then, I happened to respond to something he said, I said "Aren't you ignoring me?"- he sent me a PM and clued me in.

[TexasTowelie]

13. Yes, that includes me also.

If someone is going to insult me, then I at least want to know about it.

[Lugnut]

14. That would be me.

Go figure.

[zappaman]

15. Yay for me!

[malaise]

16. Thanks

[joeglow3]

18. Count me as one

If someone has not done something to get banned, I can listen to their thoughts.

[arcane1]

19. Count me in!

[Number23]

20. Checking in! 'Cause that be me...

[Tetris_Iguana]

21. Present and accounted for!

[NuclearDem]

22. And on ignore you go.

[Mugu]

24.

[Rod Beauvex]

25. I wonder how many people have me on ignore.

[Quixote1818]

27. With only 263 posts I would guess zero!

Unless you are brutal in your discussions.

[Rod Beauvex]

55. I dunno....

I've certainly had some...reactions...

[MH1]

77. Hey, what did "Ignored" say?

just kidding.

Someone had to do it.

[Quixote1818]

26. Haven't ever used that feature or paid attention to it much. nt

[betsuni]

28. When I find out who the Zero People are

I might put them on Ignore.

[pinboy3niner]

30. It was inevitable that some would mine this thread to expand their Ignore lists

See also #22.

[lovemydog]

61. The Zero People are kind of like

the Druids. No one knows who they were or how they got there.

[msongs]

29. ignore is silly. nt

[sir pball]

31. Never believed in it myself..

..I cut my teeth in the 90s on a forum that had no moderation whatsoever - the only control is by randomly chosen users scoring posts, the scale goes from -1 to +5 and while you're given the tools to filter out the lower scored posts, it's impossible to actually delete or hide a post. If you don't like somebody, well, don't read their drivel.


And that's why I still think Slashdot is the best board ever, and Slashcode the best software (sorry!).

[littlemissmartypants]

32. Thank you for your post, JaneyVee.

It really is fun and enlightening.
Love, Peace and Shelter. Lmsp

[Eleanors38]

33. Why, thank you. I think I have reached critical mass

regarding the number ignoring me, like slipping under radar. Haven't had a hide in over a year. I'm such a sweetie pie.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

34. Woot

[dembotoz]

35. never saw the need and would mean i would have to figure out how to use it

i haven't even figured out how to post pictures yet

[Hissyspit]

36. Thank you. nt

[abbeyco]

37. On that list and take DU for what it is - it changes with the seasons n/t

[TransitJohn]

38. Thanks. eom

n/t

[lovemydog]

62. Who the hell is eom? I'm putting him on ignore.

j/k

[cantbeserious]

39. No One On My Ignore List - No One On My Jury Blacklist Either

eom

[Agschmid]

40. Nobody on my list.

[Chico Man]

41. How do you ignore?

May as well listen to everyone!

[unionthug777]

42. that's me.

then again, i don't know too many people.

[lovemydog]

65. hello!

Now you know me.

[unionthug777]

74. hello !!

[TheKentuckian]

43. Everyone will meaningfully contribute sometime even if is only as a negative example.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

44. Now ya done it...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025229862

[lovemydog]

64. oh shit

[obxhead]

45. I survived almost a decade here without

anyone on my ignore list.

Then I fought against Cantor. I live in his district and feel the pain. Certain DUers fought against me so they met my ignore list.

Once you have one, it's easier to gain a second and so on.

[Paladin]

75. I went 12 years before exercising my first DU "Ignore."

I've used the feature several times since, and I don't regret it in the least. There are people who aren't interested in anything approaching a meaningful debate, they are here to disrupt and cause trouble, and such individuals are not entitled to rent space in your head. That's what the "Ignore" function is for. I recommend it.

[Rex]

46. TY TY!

That blacklist is full ...but nobody on ignore!

[zeemike]

47. That's me.

If I wanted to ignore people I just would not show up.

[MrScorpio]

48. And that would be me...

I've never ignored anyone on this site and I never will.

[morningfog]

49. Every side is fine. There is no value in belligerent ignorance

or general assholism.

[Shrike47]

50. Me, too. Ignore is not an option for me.

No matter how stupid you are.

[PeteSelman]

51. No ignore, no alerts.

I'm an adult.

[Scootaloo]

52. Does it count if we have people on ignore who have since been tombstoned?

[nolabear]

53. Me! MeMeMe!!

I'm way too nosy.

[bravenak]

54. Hello!!!!

I see all of you.

[rbrnmw]

56. that would be me

[DonCoquixote]

57. one flaw

Ignore is often the only way to make sure that lynch mobbers do nto serve on your jury. If the jury system here was trashed (and I will pop champagne on that day) than I could consider easing up on the ignore, though some people frnakly do nto want debate, they want to bully.

[steve2470]

58. that be me also

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

60. Count me in. "Differences of opinion are what make horse races." Mark Twain

[Warren DeMontague]

63. Right here.

I think I used it once on DU2, never on DU3.

[Quantess]

66. It's only worth using when

...when you think you will lack the willpower to not lash out at someone and write something that will likely earn you a Hide from the jury!

[betsuni]

67. How about an Apprehension Thread For Everyone That People Ignore?

Those who aren't memorable enough to be put on Ignore but nobody pays any attention to and it makes them paranoid. Is it bad breath? Poor spelling and grammar? Dumb opinions? Inability to figure out how to post amusing cat gifs? Think of the paranoids!

[randome]

68. Plonk!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]The truth doesn’t always set you free.
Sometimes it builds a bigger cage around the one you’re already in.[/center][/font][hr]

[pinboy3niner]

71. Hell, I never even put YOU on Ignore

[randome]

72. Can't get any more open-minded than that!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Don't ever underestimate the long-term effects of a good night's sleep.[/center][/font][hr]

[Spider Jerusalem]

69. I have *almost* no-one on ignore.

It usually takes egregious idiocy to push me to it; funny thing, though; 95% of everyone I've ever ignored is now banned.

[KittyWampus]

70. That would be me as well. It's hilarious how many throwing around the term "authoritarian"

on this web site are so intolerant of others they brag about having other posters on ignore.

[Heidi]

73. I hope you're not implying that people who use that feature are closed minded.

That feature was provided by the Admins. No one should be criticized for using DU features to improve their DU experience.

I don't use ignore or hide thread, but that's my choice. It doesn't make me any more or less open minded than anyone else.

[nilesobek]

85. I'm a noob and am not sure how

to classify myself. I've put a couple people on ignore simply because they put me on ignore. I'm going to have to reconsider that policy of mine as close minded. Retaliation is not the way.

[woo me with science]

90. DU is heavily propagandized. It's a tool, not "retaliation."

Ignore can be a great tool for screening out the corporate commercials.

[seabeyond]

76. i can do this one. nt

[Shrike47]

78. Hang in there.

[seabeyond]

79. well, thank you shrike.

i have taken my absences differently each time. this one, was kinda an eye opener. a lesson learned.

[kpete]

80. Tee hee

i can't ignore ANYBODY

kp

[DFW]

81. Include me in this group

I had to look up "account" to even see HOW to put someone on ignore. I remember once finding that someone had me on ignore, but I've forgotten where to look for that, and in any case, I'm less concerned about it than I am about what happened to last week's garbage.

I'm less enthusiastic about hearing "every" side of every debate, as some things I see on here are patently ridiculous, and some posts are clearly put up here to offend and put down, but I ignore the post, not the poster. You never know when someone you previously thought was a total waste of time might come up with something completely brilliant.

[panader0]

82. Not only have I never had anyone on ignore,

I've never even had a post hidden---I'm so bland...

[mikeysnot]

84. Yep, zero for me...

[toddwv]

86. I never use the ignore feature on any forum.

My brain software already has that feature built into it...

[CBGLuthier]

87. I find people far too fascinating to ignore

And truth be told NOTHING anyone says on an internet board is ever going to really upset me.

[McCamy Taylor]

88. What is "ignore"?

[Sirveri]

89. Every time I put someone on ignore they end up getting tossed off the site.

So I must be using it correctly.

Like I've probably put 10 people on ignore during my time here, and every one of them has been banned (and subsequently cleared off my ignore list).

[awoke_in_2003]

91. Finally, I am part of an appreciated group...

It is trying sometimes.

[G_j]

94. yay!

one for me!

[niyad]

95. nah, just cannot be bothered givng them that satisfaction.

[City Lights]

96. Thank you!

[hrmjustin]

97. that is me.
