Number of people on your Ignore list?

I was ignoring a guy named CyberSnyder, but he changed his name.
Should be the same id in the database, you'll be ok.
Every time I go to let everyone out of my personal TB jail I stare at the names and can't remember why they were on there. Often it's the same thing; they are listed as "inactive" which used to be "banned" but I guess this is the softer, gentler TB.
Bottom line is that if they annoy me that much, they'll end up back on there anyway. But I really don't hold grudges. I'm too forgetful to remember who I'm holding a grudge against, or why.

Well, I only see like three posts in this thread.
I have 14 on my list. It seems about half of those are already Inactive or Banned. Looks like I made the right call on those.
I have noticed that although I have someone on my Ignore list, I know they can still see my posts because I've received Likes on my posts from "ignorees" - I don't think that's a word.

I have 3 on my list. Very rarely do I encounter the link that says "there are posts that I am ignoring on this page" so I mostly forget that these people exist. Its for the best...I wish that feature was available in real life.
Choosing to ignore isolates a person’s perception from the reality of their environment. When the inevitable happens and he/she regains awareness of the actual surroundings, they are up for big surprises.
Perhaps, but the greatest weapon against those who are only looking to agitate and be noticed is to ignore. It is also the easiest way to peace and happiness if there is someone who is your anti-matter. You take away an agitators power when you can't get agitated and you just shut them out from reaching you.

Yep, and IMO online "surroundings" are at least partly a figment of our imagination and also a function of our real choices of who we interact with, and how.
On TB, I don't ignore anyone. I've ignored only a handful from other forums, but they were always extreme and eventually disappeared. Disagreeing with a point of view isn't enough. It has to be irredeemably hurtful.
Participating in an online forum isolates a person from the reality of their environment. Anything beyond that is is just choosing what your alternate reality is going to be. I've never ignored anyone officially (I just skim by certain people's posts) but if doing so makes someone's experience here better, who are we to criticize?
Nah, I just don’t engage with nor deal with a-holes. Or people that are just repeating the same things over and over and over again.
