Darn you administrators! Darn you all to heck!

I made the mistake of reading my transparency page.

It tells you how many star members have you on "ignore."

ONE star member has me on ignore. Who could it be? The mind boggles! I will (I'm serious here) lose sleep over this trying to deduce/guess who it could be. If it were 20 or 100 it wouldn't be so bad -- but ONE?

The "blue dog" thing goes over fine in general discussion, but the fact that I'm from Omaha seems to throw people into a rage.

Then again, I don't post in GD (never did much in the old GD, either.) So I don't run into too many of the people proudly wearing their badge/t-shirt that states "I'M OFFENDED!!!11!"

Look, I know there's nothing I can say right now that would make you feel any better, but rest assured, I will be financially responsible for everything.

All this because you had to know why I do not like you.

Well, you were kind of vague.

You want to know why? I'll tell you why. I think you are a smarty-pants. I was too polite to say that before. But then you spied on me, you stalked me, you badgered me, you poured Yoo-Hoo down my Dockers, you crunched my hand, and then, as if all that was not enough, you burned down my newsstand, my livelihood, a gift to me from my beloved uncle, may he rest in peace!

Was that so hard?

and you would never know it!

Apparently, it only counts if a member with a star ignores you. I don't have one.

Of course, I don't have you on ignore or I wouldn't be posting here.

It could be that you remind somebody of someone. Who knows? In other words, don't worry about it.

how its counted. One will read my posts but is blocking my emails. As if I ever wanted to send one?

The funny thing is, I picked up most of those in just the last week or so. I guess some Nader lovers and Hillary haters didn't like what I said.

If they are ignoring you, that means you will not have to read an answer from them to any posts you make. And you have to know that would be a good thing.

Pffff, that from someone who is not ignored! I guess that I don't know how you feel.
