Now that it's essentially over, I've cleared my "ignore" list

[featherman]

What the heck. And the new posting limit should help as well. Thanks, Skinner.

It would be kind of interesting to see the wacky new positions my ex-ignores have evolved and/or devolved to but such will not be the case for a while. I'm leaving on 10 days vacation where I'll be away from the internet and DU.

Y'all have a good time while I'm gone.

1. How many did you have? A friend of mine has over 300 people on ignore

:rofl:

I'm a little more tolerant than that :D

[featherman]

2. Only 15... the worst of the rude, crude and abusive

The board does seem to have mellowed a bit

[HughMoran]

4. So far, so good

I was shocked to see that P2BMK was tombstoned. It's fun to do a search based on author and see no more than 6 posts from any author!

18. What happened?

I can't believe it.

[jkshaw]

15. 300?!

Did the person have ANY posts to read? That's phenomenal.

[silverweb]

3. Funny... so did I.

If there's anybody still deserving of it, I can always start a new list. :D

Have a great vacation! :hi:

5. You are very, very brave.

I checked mine yesterday. And to my pleasant surprise a bunch were gone.

Hey featherman, have a good vacation. When you get back who knows,
it might be almost over.

9. In my professional opinion, it's over. I know there is a lot of

voting to go and some interesting primaries but, barring a really major scandal (could happen, I guess), there is only one likely outcome at this point.

I celebrated partially a couple of days ago by changing my avatar back to "the world"... which is what I care most about in the end.

11. Hey your avatar is the one I want.

For obvious reasons :)

That is not one in the DU collection, is it?

[featherman]

12. It's on the list... you gotta look (man that's a large list)

[Big Blue Marble]

13. Thanks.

In a few weeks I will find it.

Edit to add: that is what I care most about too.
Therefore my name.

6. Hello again!

:hi:

...

:)

[featherman]

10. LOL - no, not you

[Flabbergasted]

7. I did as well.

[sellitman]

8. I cleared my list at New Years

Except for one person who remain nameless.

A few have found their way back onto it but its still on the light side.

14. Mine stays through the convention.

[JuniperLea]

16. Me too!

Live and learn from fools and from sages;)

17. I've never understood the refuge of the ignore list

Nothing personal, and I don't know if I was on yours or not (nor do I really care), but it seems so much like * surrounding himself with people who only tell him what he wants to hear. It seems akin to running out of a conversation with both hands over one's ears because whatever is being said isn't exactly what one would like to hear. Like an ostrich with his head buried. I don't get it. I've never had anyone on ignore, and never will.

[UALRBSofL]

19. That's exactly right

There's no point and counterpoint. No discussing differing issues. JMO

20. I just found out I had about 7 tombstones

on Ignore..so I cleaned them out. I think I have a record number of Ignores but my DU is better for it.

Bon Voyage, featherman!
