Are we allowed to joke about the ignore function?

[progree]

8. I don't have anyone on ignore because I don't want to bury my head in the sand

and having them trashing things I'm posting, sometimes with lies and misinformation, and I'm not even aware of it. But everyone else sees my post and the response or responses that seemingly convincingly, but falsely, tearing it apart.

If I'm too delicate and sensitive to see all responses, then probably I shouldn't be posting on a discussion board in the first place.

Even if it's not responses I'm worried about, but rather if that person is posting false information about issues I know and care about, and misleading their fellow progressives, then I want to know about it.

If the ignore function hid my posts from the person I put on ignore, then that would be great. But that's not how it works, just the opposite. It's unilateral disarmament on my part, something I simply will not do.
