Why I don't ignore anyone here.

Over the last few weeks, 3 long-time DUers that are pros at getting on my nerves and would have been candidates for ignore have given me good reason to never ignore anyone.

That was a horribly written sentence. I have another headache and my eyes hurt. I don't wanna hafta rewrite it.

You just never know when someone will come through with a deep thought, compassionate post or just plain good humor. So for everyone.

...I got into it with another DUer. To the point where I was ready to add my first ignore. I did a search for his/her name (for more ammo) and found something weird...

3 posts that I had recced.

We sort of shook hands and agreed to disagree and since then I've spotted a few pretty damned funny comments and a few annoying ones. Either way, it's entertainment.

I have yet to make it through an entire evening with my best friend where we don't get into at least one argument. We always make up before we say good-bye and leave our friends, family and strangers in shock.

And then, every once in awhile, I clear my ignore list.

Very soon I discover the ones I've ignored have been banned or are still stuck on their single issue.

Seriously, if someone is incapable of posting something funny or touching, in the Lounge at least, there's no reason to read anything else they write.

Humorless single issue posters are the worst.

If you can't tell a funny or touching story occasionally then there is something wrong with you.

Hell, how hard is it to post a funny animal picture on the internet?

It's not hard for me. I am, and I live with, a bunch of funny animals.

but then I read the replies to their posts and many times I start laughing because I find that other DUers find them as annoying as I do. Anyhow, I don't have anyone on ignore and for those who have me on ignore, rock on!
