What does it take to get on your ignore list?

[redqueen]

For me, it depends on my mood. Sometimes I have no one on there, even.

Lately though I'm filling it up fast. All it takes is anything I find annoying. :rofl:


And for those of you who are all I don't ignore anyone or worse I can manage to ignore people just fine without using it well good for you... I'm only sorry I failed to make the subject line simple enough for you to understand. ;)

[kick-ass-bob]

1. calling me a freeper for not wanting to listen to recorded voices

on the phone.

:shrug:

[redqueen]

2. GDP?

It's crazier than usual in there.

It's like the primaries all over again. :crazy:

[kick-ass-bob]

3. BUT IT WAS OBAMA SAYING HOW GREAT HE WAS!!

That you wouldn't want to listen.... suspicious.

If the shoe fits...

:eyes:

and yes, GDP.

[mainegreen]

4. About a hundred dollar certified money order check should do the trick.

Sorry, no COD.

[kick-ass-bob]

5. I am a Prince in Kenya

and if you send me your bank account number, I will deposit the money directly.

[mainegreen]

7. Certainly. First I need as proof of your authenticity a picture of you with a pony on your head.

Please also paint the words 'pny pwnd' on your forehead so I know it's you. Upon receipt of said picture, account info will be forthcoming.

[NewJeffCT]

6. I haven't found that threshold yet

I've never had anybody on ignore in 5+ years and 25,000+ posts on DU.

[Shell Beau]

8. I actually have no one on ignore, so I guess you could call me

whatever you wanted and I would just take it!! :P

[redqueen]

12. See... nobody even has to say anything to me.

Just anything stupid that annoys me a lot. That's it. :rofl:

I'm abusing this feature, I know it. :P


But no there has been one case where someone was abusive and what not in a PM... they're on the "block PM" list for good.

[Shell Beau]

17. Ignore is there for a reason. I have wanted to ignore some people but

then my curiousity gets the best of me.

[City of Mills]

9. Pessimists.

I have no problem with people who constantly see the sky falling, but I choose to ignore these people. I tend to empty out the ignore list every now and then. I have a few regular return customers though.

[TZ]

67. So you have GDP on ignore then?

;)

[Parche]

10. Go MU

:woohoo: :hi: :hug:

[redqueen]

13. Don't even talk about football right now.

x(

And we get to play them next weekend. :banghead:

[TZ]

11. hmm

Some of the rabid tinfoilhatters who call me nasty names like "child poisoner" "bully" "shill" oh and one who called me "janitor" and insinuated that I was having an affair/crush on a scientist . I don't need to hear their venom or stupidity.

[redqueen]

16. They speculated about your love life?

That's beyond bizarre. :crazy:

[TZ]

20. Well I was talking about working for a world class malaria vaccinologist

and thats where I got my vaccine knowledge (she was arguing about the "toxic substances in vaccines") and she insinuated that the only way I knew anything was because 1) I was a janitor in the lab and 2) I had a crush on the scientist (and there was an insinuation of it being more)

[redqueen]

21. Oh good Gawd

:rofl:

[TZ]

24. I had been here a MONTH when that happened

I actually left for a few weeks to calm down....now, its just funny!:)

[QueenOfCalifornia]

41. Well....

how much of that is true?

:rofl:

[TZ]

59. PFFFFFT!

:spank:

[Mutley]

79. Wait, you *don't* have a crush on the scientist?

:hide:

[dawgmom]

36. Oh, come on....we all know that your old "office" was really the broom closet....

...and you're only in a cube now because you're doing the horizontal bop with Dr. Malaria-Guy.

*running, running, running, as fast as my fat little legs will carry me*

[TZ]

60. Hmm

Do I have to do an expose about your dislike of cats to the lounge? Don't tempt me...:evilgrin:

[dawgmom]

64. Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!

I have gathered that merely stating "I don't care that much for cats" makes one an automatic Republican or something. Don't do it. I take it back.

But really, with a name like "Dawgmom" -- do you suppose they aren't aware of my preferences?
:)

[flvegan]

14. Either the Mods doing it for me, or

as a temporary measure to keep me from getting into trouble.

[redqueen]

19. Yeah... temporary measure for me as well.

I always just about empty it after a while. :)

[DS1]

15. depends on the subject, the time of day, my mood, and how many other idiots are backing you up

[redqueen]

22. I'm curious...

what bearing does the size of the idiot posse have? Does it make you more or less likely to ignore them, and why?

[DS1]

33. one lonely pissant is more likely to get ignored

as much as it pains me to acknowledge, if there's 10 of them, there's a possibility that I am in fact the one missing some information which I need to revisit. unless it's about guns, they can all fuck off, i'm tired of circular arguments

[redqueen]

42. Aw, you're so reasonable.

Not me. I don't care if there's 50 of 'em and I'm one of only three who disagree, they're goin on ignore!

Actually not though... depends on the context. When the context is major leage dumbassity though, well there you go.

[Midlodemocrat]

39. Can someone tell me what this post says? Thanks.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

45. It is all

about YOU and how redqueen had to build a fortress around her castle due to you being mean and making her look at pictures of NAKED ANIMALS!

[Midlodemocrat]

46. I don't think that's true. redqueen and I have a proofreading business to run.

People on this site have terrible grammar, you know.

[redqueen]

51. Terrible grammar, spelling, punctuation and usage skills.

They should pay us!

[TrogL]

76. I'm in the same boat

I've got so many people on ignore it'll take forever to disable them one by one to figure out who's posting the latest bit of nonsense.

[BarenakedLady]

18. Try me

:P

[redqueen]

23. Freeper!

IT WAS OBAMA TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT HE IS? WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO HEAR THAT HMMMMMMMM?!/1/1!!!11?

[kick-ass-bob]

37. Exactly.

ROOT HER OUT!~!!11!1!!

[IndianaJones]

25. being from Texas. nt.

[redqueen]

28. Apparently not!

:P


One of my most vociferously pro-Obama coworkers was just here talking about how he thinks Indiana is going blue tomorrow.

:bounce:

[IndianaJones]

40. I'm going to the election party! nt.

[redqueen]

54. Hah.

I thought that said "erection party" for a second there.

SIGN ME UP! :bounce:

[IndianaJones]

57. lol. nt.

[Critters2]

26. Calling MrCoffee "Post I Never Heard Of" is a quick and easy way.

That, and calling Obama a socialist. Those are the rules. But I reserve the right to improvise.

[redqueen]

29. MrCoffee? Who's that?

Is he new?

[Midlodemocrat]

43. Already TS'd and not a moment too soon. What an asshat that guy was.

[jobycom]

72. Someone got stoned in THAT thread!?

Wow, some people take shit seriously. Who was it?

[Critters2]

44. Apparently a troll--the kind of troll who hangs around, actively posting, for years

before launching his first troll attack. I hate those trolls!

[MrCoffee]

47. He's the president of the DU Christiano Ronaldo fan club.

[redqueen]

48. Ooooooh that guy...

x(

I can't wait till he shoves off to La Liga or something. BLEH!

[SmokingJacket]

27. it would take a stalker.

Never found one yet!

[redqueen]

30. Is it still stalking if they say it's ok with them?

:shrug:

:P

[LeftyMom]

31. Non-compliance with one's psych meds, apparently.

Most of the people on my ignore list are either hostile or just plain batshit crazy.

[redqueen]

34. Well you missed one

if you're answering this thread. ;)

No but seriously...






:P

[puerco-bellies]

32. I've never put anyone on ignore

I don't have a buddy list either.

[redqueen]

35. I used to add suspected freepers to my buddy list.

Now I just don't bother. :shrug:

[puerco-bellies]

50. I got that idea from Kitchenwitch

But I never implemented (shocking) it.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

38. It takes a lot

but the one way sure to get you added is to start moralizing. We have several moralizers who frequent the GD and GDP boards... They like to tell us how every tiny, little, teeny thing is effecting them and how they see America being destroyed by ______________________. (fill in the blank.) The latest was a certain person went on a tirade about the F word and every other swear word and how it is making them so saaaaaaaad.

Boo-fucking-hoooooo.

I decided I had to start ignoring the moralizing people. During the primaries... well, that was different. Most of the ignored ones were TS'd due to copious amounts of dumb assed PUMA crap.

I have, I think 4 people on ignore. You are not one of them.
:hi:

[redqueen]

49. Coincidentally... I do the ignore thing to avoid moralizing.

:P

:hi:

[IndianaJones]

58. I will pray for you. nt.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

78. It wont help

one bit.

:P

[Lucian]

52. Obvious trolls.

[Skittles]

53. AM I ON IT, REDQUEEN?

I WILL KICK YOUR ASS

[redqueen]

56. Ha, no...

you're far from stupid or annoying. :)

[Marrah_G]

55. Being an ass usually does it

People who go out of their way to be assholes wind up on my list, even those in the "popular crowd".

I have very little patience for that sort of behavior.

It's a long list.

I cleared about 400 names off after the hell that was Primary season.

Back up to maybe 50 again.

[IndianaJones]

61. clearly you have no concern for the environment or better use of the land. nt

[Marrah_G]

62. At least I don't slaughter Whales for fun!

[Oeditpus Rex]

63. A proclivity for asshattery or extreme egoism

If you like to start or perpetuate flame wars or refuse to see other sides of an argument, or if the majority of your posts are all about yooooooooouuu, chances are I can't see you.



Also, if you're a sports trash-talker, you're on the Ignore Bubble.

[redqueen]

65. I'm a trash talker about Utd.

No doubt about that.

Rangers, too.

[TZ]

68. Ooooh

I take it 90% of the Sports forum is on your list....:rofl:

[IndianaJones]

69. heh. nt.

[Oeditpus Rex]

70. Well...

One of its denizens, in particular. :)

[PeaceNikki]

87. Hey!! Some of my best friends are asshats!

x(

[ghostsofgiants]

66. Actively flaming me with non-substantive bullshit.

Only two or three people have made the list in my 4+ years on this site.

[LanternWaste]

71. I've only got three people on ignore...

I've only got three people on ignore...

One because of inappropriate humor in a very dark thread (I should take him/herm off, but why waste the calories?)

The second accused TX Child Protective Services of engaging in a "genocide" (both I and family members have worked for TX CPS...).

The third just out and out called me Republican.

I'm thinking of adding a fourth, but that really depends on what kind of mood you're in this week... :evilgrin:

[Iggo]

73. Can't happen.

I use analog ignore.

[TrogL]

74. THAT'S IT!!!1

You're on my ignore list.

[Ava]

75. well no one is on mine

so i don't know :rofl:

[BlueIris]

77. 1) Misogyny, 2) Passive aggression, 3) Bigotry/xenophobia, 4) General offensiveness.

#4 has some wide parameters. They include directing a personal insult at me or at another poster or posting highly insensitive and inappropriate shit even if it isn't technically racist, woman-hating, etc., (like the jackass in a certain forum who told me my reaction to one of my kittens dying in '07 was silly).

[DarkTirade]

80. Hasn't happened yet, but it's come pretty close.

Bigotry and reactionary assholishness are the two biggest things that get me thinkin' about it.

... which is why I stay out of GD most of the time. If I went in there more often, I'd probably have a full ignore list.

[petronius]

81. It's impossible to get on my ignore list

Partly because those who I would ignore all often good for a laugh, and partly because I would obsess over what stupidity I was missing in all the 'ignored posts'...

[Mike 03]

82. In almost six years, I've only put one person on my ignore list, and I took him

off because I felt guilty. He was just stalking me for no good reason and making my life miserable, and we were arguing about science and he knew nothing about science.

[old mark]

83. I have 2 people on mine, the first and only.

I have no plans to remove them.


mark

[kentauros]

84. I find the holes in the argument more annoying

than the comments made by those worthy of being ignored

There's really only a select few that would make my list, were I ever to implement it. I just skim their posts to see if they are worth reading in full. Usually, they aren't, but I will at least know what is being argued on from the other posters

[tigereye]

85. rudeness and inability to see the other person's point of view

[harmonicon]

86. oh, geez...

well, I went the better part of a year without having one, but I do now. My basic answer would be "bigotry". I really can enjoy having discussions with people that I know that I will never agree with, so long as we both have reasoned through our arguments and have very real personal reasons for having the positions that we do. It really makes me sad that even on DU, I've found people that have prejudices that they seem to not be able to overcome based on nothing but bigotry - no reason, no sense, only hate and loathing for entire swaths of humanity :(

[MilesColtrane]

88. General assholishness and fuckstickery...

[Fire Walk With Me]

89. Republican behaviour.

[Zomby Woof]

90. You'll put me on yours after I post this reply

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

[HEyHEY]

91. A positive pregnancy test!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

98. have you ever considered

a vasectomy ;) :yoiks:

[SarahB]

92. Repeated, intentional, hurtful assholery.

I have no one on my ignore list any longer, but when I did, it was the people who went out of their way to be hurtful when others were suffering (sometimes me, sometimes others).

[elshiva]

93. I only got one person on Ignore and he's got me

on Ignore, too. Long, depressing story, but you got to be a CONSISTENT asshole to be on my Ignore. I get angry at someone for a while and then usually take them off after things have cooled down.

[LibDemAlways]

94. Posters who aren't interested in keeping it civil. The minute it gets

personal and the insults start to fly, I head straight for ignore. I have no time for or patience with rude people.

[Lavender Brown]

95. Spamming

:shrug: That's about it, because that is the only thing I find hard to ignore.

[jobycom]

96. More than you can bring, rookie!

I assume your comments, like all comments said within my range, were about me. That's how I roll. :rofl:

Seriously, it takes a lot. Usually name calling beyond any attempt to be rational. Even then, I'm more likely to laugh than iggie. I've got no one on igore, and think I had two or three people during the primaries. And once because someone insulted Tom Cruise--long story; she's gone now. :rofl:

[Zavulon]

97. Generally, when someone jumps to the wrong conclusion and rips me anyway, but

sheer stupidity is good enough. In that case, it doesn't even have to be a reply to me - if I see a complete dumbass or an uninformed blowhard, I'll just put that user on ignore. As a general rule, once in a blue moon I'll take most of those on my list off ignore, but most of them wind up back on it pretty quickly. Only once have I run into someone I once had on ignore and wound up glad I took that person off.

[Q3JR4]

99. Well, that's all it took.

Welcome to my ignore list....population you.

Q3JR4
Not really. ;)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

100. For the first two years of DU I had no one on there

My first person on ignore came in early 2004 and has been growing since. The majority of people on here -long-timers and newcomers -are wonderful, thoughful and intelligent people who have enriched my life through their posts but there are a minority that gets on my nerves and would have a negative impact on my posting habits if they weren't on my ignore list.

[LaurenG]

101. Being consistently mean and hateful

otherwise nothing gets anyone on there.

[Ptah]

102. brazillion, rick roll, carrot top

[Danger Mouse]

103. PUT ME ON IGNORE, REDQUEEN! PUT ME ON IGNORE RGIHT THE FUCK NOW!!!

just kidding, you know I love you. :hug:

[sniffa]

104. Not much at all

I'm quite trigger happy.

[SPKrazy]

105. forced ignore

is the only thing that has kept anyone there for long

:shrug:
