How Many Posters do you have on Ignore?

[Bullet1987]

I have 13...some of the typicals if you catch my drift. I couldn't stand the trolling anymore. What about everyone else?

[SoFlaJet]

1. 7

and every one a bigger a-hole than the next

[sniffa]

2. I'll have my accountant get back to you

[caledesi]

10. Good one! Me too. nt

[Liberal Veteran]

3. 9....but three of them have been tombstoned.

[Mz Pip]

21. Must have been the same 3

that I had. I don't have anyone on now, though it is tempting. I guess I can do my own "ignore" without the help of the ignore function.

[Forkboy]

4. None...I like to reserve the right to respond to anything that I think is stupid.

Not knocking those that use the ignore feature at all. It just isn't for me.

[stellanoir]

5. none

I've a fairly efficient psychic ignore function

[lligrd]

6. None, But I Think I Have Made Quite A Few Of The Lists nt

[woolldog]

33. not mine

:hi:

[lligrd]

37. Thanks, Nice To Know One Person Can Tolerate Me

:yourock:

[HereSince1628]

7. Just a few...I wanted to test the ignore function

You can place a mod on ignore, but they can over-ride it.

You can't ignore the subjects on the home page, but the posts won't open as long as you have the poster on ignore.

[TahitiNut]

8. Zero ... well, two blocked from PMs but not posts.

:shrug:

[panader0]

9. ZERO- Many of the posts I disagree with I find quite entertaining

Like how KO calls Rush a comedian. After you get to know some of the crazed posters, you know what to expect. I saw a thread in here yesterday about showing who has you on ignore. What became of that idea?

[John Q. Citizen]

11. None. But there are certain posters I skip reading. They don't have much to add. and

I'm an information junkee. I want some facts, not somebody's political sob story.

[FightingIrish]

12. A bunch.

I never used "Ignore" before but it got so foul that I had to flush. They are names I don't recall seeing before and they will likely not hang around after the nomination is decided. I wonder how many of them are actually Mark Penn.

[WillyT]

13. Zero

:shrug:

[dkf]

14. Zero - I used to have one, but I notice they got TS'd

[azmouse]

15. Too many.

I hope when this silly season is over I can take them off ignore but til then they will remain ignored.

[GoneOffShore]

16. As of today - 101

Though that will go higher no doubt.

I don't know how many have been TS'ed, but hoping for more. Most are provocative types not worth the bandwidth, usually low post counts and no profiles.

[LiberalAndProud]

17. 3 down from 5

2 recently tombstoned. I avoid the ignore feature, but I'm sure glad it's an option.

[Yavapai]

18. I only have the voices in my head on ignor.

If I listened to them, who knows what crazy shit I would post!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. None

~

[wndycty]

20. Its definitely over 30

I need to go take count sometime.

[Jersey Devil]

22. None - I want to hear opposing viewpoints

It helps hone your own viewpoints and sharpens responses made in favor of your positions in my opinion.

If someone is just clearly trolling and making an ass of themself I just don't respond.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. 11 and 2 are tombstoned! n/t

[baldguy]

24. 43

Just for threads they've started; I can still see their replies to others.

[Catherina]

25. Eleven but one is in the graveyard

It made a world of a difference.

[maddiejoan]

26. None

But then --I'm not a "typical Obama supporter"

I prefer to actually hear what other people have to say.

[Blue-Jay]

27. 1 forced ignore and her sock puppet.

So I guess that would be 2. I don't like ignoring people, as it would cut in on my "chuckle time".

[Skip Intro]

28. None. Don't get it. All you do is create a false reality where only what you want to see and hear is

all there is.

There was a thread a few days ago that listed like twenty names to ingore for Obama supporters. The thread was evenutally locked and the OP tombstoned.

To me it is the equivilent of putting one's fingers in one's ears and screaming, "la la la, I can't hear you."

Dont' get it.

[BlooInBloo]

29. I think ignore is mostly used by wusses....

... Tho I should say in the interests of full disclosure that I'm prolly on just about everybody's ignore - heh.

[GoneOffShore]

46. No wuss here

And just to prove it I found this link for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcwlUkzBeqo&feature=related

[BlooInBloo]

59. I don't get it. Is that like being ricky rolled?

[Forkboy]

57. As opposed to masochistic like us.

;)

[BlooInBloo]

60. heh indeedy.

[woolldog]

30. 21

I can name them if you like. I would like to hear the names that people have an ignore. Anyone?

[Kahuna]

31. 35. nt

[nxylas]

32. 4

I think at least one has been tombstoned, though.

[moobu2]

34. one because of a photo they have on every post of an elephant taking a dump

no one else.

[LiberalAndProud]

52. I know that one.

And ignoring for the same reason. Can't hear what that poster says, because the photo blathers like a Tide stain.

[thereismore]

35. 60. nt

[pscot]

36. I cleared my ignore list yesterday

We're all in this together.

[Drachasor]

38. Zero!

[burythehatchet]

39. closing in on 300 (includes 100+ tombstoned)

[ruggerson]

40. None

Why bother to come here to ignore people?

[better tomorrow]

41. I don't ignore anyone....I have an open mind and accept everyone for who they are. E tu, Brute?

[Yael]

42. 2 and they are both

in the same town. I think it is one person with 2 accounts. No 2 people can possibly be as nasty to others as that flamebait.

[yardwork]

53. Alert on each of their posts one day and point out that the accounts are in the same town.

They could be sock puppets. If so, the mods will be very interested. Bring it to their attention.

[Hepburn]

43. 40...as of last count taken a minute ago....and all but one are Hillary supporters.

Makes me sad because before the Obama - Hillary contest, since joining in April 2004, I only had to put one person on ignore. <sigh>

[KittyWampus]

44. 50+ I used to be philsophically opposed to them. But I have a bad habit of wanting to rebut

and since you can't argue with stupid, and most of it is just tying to get a reaction, why bother?

This allows me to see many more desirable posts on the front page of the forum, with all the garbage out of the picture.

BTW, I cleared by ignore list the other day. It didn't last.

There are a handful of Hillary supporters I admire and respect and am happy to have a dialog with.

[malletgirl02]

51. My ignore list

I use ignore as a stopgap for me not to respond to flame bait with snark. there are poster who say that this is "Bushlike", but I think have a right to ignore posters who constantly post flame bait.

[Melinda]

45. 13, but one has been TS'd. n/t

[RichardRay]

47. I've built back up to 6, but today is my day to start over...

On Sunday evening I empty the list and start letting everything get through again. There are about 3 folks who always seem to get back on it by sometime Monday or early Tuesday. I've considered just leaving them on the list, but decided to let them earn their way back on each week. One person who used to be on it regularly avoided it last week. I wouldn't mention the name (even if I could) as it would probably cause the person some minor discomfort to realize that I've experienced his/her behavior to have changed slightly :-).

on edit - I'd probably not use the Ignore function at all if it were possible to hide a thread from the forum listing and just have it disappear without going through another link and having to go back to the listing.)

[InsultComicDog]

48. 0 nt

[yardwork]

49. One. And it rarely if ever posts in GD-P.

I put it on ignore because, after years of listening to it, I decided it was a jerk.

Why hang out in GD-P and then put half the regulars on ignore? Why not just ignore GD-P? I don't get it.

[XemaSab]

50. None

But I got about 30 on my "buddy" list. :D

[JimGinPA]

54. I Don't Put Posters On Ignore...

Too much fun to laugh at some of them. While Mrs. Clinton has some pretty intelligent supporters here, many of them are so silly it boggles the mind. It's fairly easy to recognize which are the trolls.

[Hope And Change]

55. I have 248 on my ignore list.I`m not kidding.

[Jane Austin]

56. Five.

One of longstanding, and four just from this week.

[KittyWampus]

61. matching your Username with the subject and your response is kind of fun :-)

I love Jane Austen.

[Jane Austin]

67. :)

Thanks.

[stillcool]

58. seems between 20-30

and I have no problem using the Ignore Function. I block Faux News too. I don't like to get punked by jerks trying to stir up shit.

[ZombieHorde]

62. Just one, Skinner, he acts like he owns the place. :)

I don't put people on ignore (at least not yet), but I do put a lot of threads on ignore. I ignore threads that I don't find very interesting or if I feel that they are just flame bait.

[Seabiscuit]

63. Do you really want to know? Close to a 1000 ... nt

[irish.lambchop]

64. One. n/t

[Blue State Bandit]

65. ZERO! If I don't like something, I let it sink!

[LowerManhattanite]

66. I had eight of the worst...

...then I checked the list yesterday (for the first time in about a week) and four of those had since “bitten the curb”. :)

[gristy]

68. 25

[blogslut]

69. My eyes are failing me

I could have sworn your title read: "How Many Pastors do you have on Ignore?"

:silly:

EDIT ADD: 2. One because I don't like their user name. The other because they have a signature graphic that makes me want to scream.

[SoCalDem]

70. 3, I think.. Until a week ago I had NEVER used that feature

and I have been here since June '01..

[Buzz Clik]

71. I have a similar number. Only one or two have more than 500 posts.

[myrna minx]

72. I have a couple from long before the primaries, but no one as a result of the primaries. n/t

[dana_b]

73. one. this person is just ridiculously rude to those who don't think just like he/she does. n/t

[WinkyDink]

74. None. Too nosey.

[bilgewaterbill]

75. None. I can dish it out AND take it.

[Igel]

76. None.

I put people on it, get up to 5 or 6 over the course of a few months, then purge them from my "ignore" list.

When I put people on ignore, it's more for my sanity, before I lose it and write something I'd regret. (Not that I always ignore people in time.)

[npincus]

77. zero

[dorktv]

78. I finally put one on. I just finally lost it.

And frankly, I know Senator Obama is NOT responsible for his supporters being jackasses but they sure make it hard to look at the person objectively.

[MediaBabe]

79. Four

Sometimes it is the only reasonable thing to do. In any large group it's only natural to have a few personality conflicts. In real life we learn to avoid people every now and then, why wouldn't it be the same in cyberspace?

[Cha]

80. I just got back from

cleaning it up..there were several posters who had passed on to the big Cheeze and there was one who actually had an Obama avatar now so I removed it to see how that worked out.

Too numerous to count but just the right amount to keep unseemly distractions at bay.
