Suggestion for pay ignore

Well, what do you call this but a "personal attack" :

"I see Bruce fighting almost all the suggestions I see here and frankly I'm starting to think you either fear change in general or don't want people to be able to ignore your posts."

Or saying that I need to be more "open minded"?

If you take those comments as insults then yes they are personal attacks. I however used them to refer descriptively to your stance on forum modifications and in particular this one.

Do not ignore the nice things I said about you in this thread.

So - why did you even have to mention me by name in this context? Are you saying I should not make any negative comments about suggestions - no matter how stupid or pointless they appear to be?

If you go back a page you will see that I had quoted and was dealing with a comment that you made. That's why I named you and not another user. Because you said what I was challenging.

Why do you need to make this a personal thing - why not just put your points or opinions - why are you so worried about what I say?

I am not making this personal. You are taking it as personal and I am trying pretty hard to play catch-up by reiterating what I meant and clear up any misunderstandings.

Why lay into me and not the others in this or other threads?

Because you have made comments here that I want to discuss... sorry if that is unacceptable to you and I will gladly stop.

I can only see this as a personal attack or grudge - there is no other way to see it!!

I am sorry you see it this way Bruce. I want to go on record now as saying that I have no grudge with you nor am I attacking you out of malice.

It's too bad that is the conclusion you are choosing to hold on to.

Anyway...

I don't see this as a feature that would sway someone sitting on the supporting member fence. Honestly, I don't get all of this ignore stuff. I regularly check "new since..." and for some reason I don't find it difficult to ignore any message or forum I want to. It takes very little effort and practically no time to do it.

It probably would not sway many people considering a supporting membership. However like people who prefer to never see advertising, some people would like to not have to see users, posts, threads, forums etc. that they don't want to see.

This is important to me because the signal to noise ratio and troll level has increased to such a level here that I don't honestly think I'll be renewing my supporting membership and continuing as a TB member.

Not a threat since really who cares if I am here or not but I'll vote with my dollars so to speak.

I can appreciate your point of view. I guess personally I'm not having the same issues as others. I can look down the list and read what I want to read. It really is no big deal for me. In fact I like the fact that I don't have anything blocked. That's how for example I might see a severely anti-Tab person posting in the Tabs forum, which I don't frequent.

This is just sad. I never thought I'd be closing a thread in my own suggestion box.

I don't like to complain, and I appreciate the suggestion, but having to wade through pages of pointless bickering isn't the best use of my time
