Number of people on your Ignore list?

[CryingBass]

With a mug like this, and all the bs that I post regularly on this site, how could I not be on an ignore list?

Happy Holidays my friends.

 

[twinjet]

None.

 

[Muttleybass]

Nobody. I see some people post ridiculous stuff sometimes, but mostly it's misinformation. I don't see too much in this forum that offends me. As forums go, this one's pretty tame.

 

[Humbled]

I'm not important enough to ignore anybody.

 

[The Deep]

None.

I don’t want to put myself in an echo chamber, surrounded only by those that think the same way I do. That limits personal growth and chokes perspective.

This is a place for the free exchange of information and opinions. I’d be hard pressed to think of another category of discussion where more varied opinions and interpretations could be generated than the arts (music).

 

[okcrum]

None.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts you are also ignore-proof!

1. And I'm sure he's a great guy. But his avatar leads me to believe he would throw political bombshells if given half a chance. Honestly, I don't understand how avatars slide under the political radar around here. But they do. I just wanted to reduce my risk of running into his politocal minefield.

(Not sure if joking...)

I was surprised to find no one on my ignore list! So you are all on notice...

 

[okcrum]

My list has always been short, and trends shorter as names get crossed off by bans.

 

[JKos]

Zero.

But I don't ignore people who have been hateful to me, or started arguments with me. Meh. Honestly, I try to forget those things. I may actually learn something from that same user down the road if I let it go.

Pretty sure I know who you mean, at least the avatar. I believe the history on the pseudo political avatars started with the Hope avatars were deemed acceptable, so now the hat can’t be banned or bias will be claimed.

I'm not. This user has a very politically charged avatar. (Or at least he did.) So, I figured he would be someone to avoid. So I ignored him. Heck, it's been a while. I don't know if he still has that avatar or is still even am active member.

But, no, my post wasn't a joke.

 

[Picton]

Zilch.

On any of the several forums I'm on.

My brain already has an ignore function. I simply pay attention to it, instead of paying too much to the occasional negative post. I'm not a huge fan of censorship, even when I'm the one doing it for myself.

Keep the ideas flowin'. Even the ones you disagree with. It's how the internet was meant to be.

I guess I mostly use “Ignore” to keep that little “Banned” banner from appearing on my profile. Heh.

I guess I unblocked him at some point. I just checked and couldn't find anyone I ignore.

I'm completely comfortable choosing who to interact with on here without the 'ignore' function. That being said, some days man... I think about having Jeannie turn a couple TB'rs into poodle-dogs.

 

[monsterthompson]

30.
It’s mainly as a mechanism to not do business with them in the classifieds. If I’m already annoyed by your posts then I don’t want to enter into a financial transaction where a dispute might occur.

Oh, not OP’s avatar? I misunderstood that.

 

[Spidey2112]

Zero, though I am sure I am on someone's list.

Christmas card list, baby... Christmas card list.

Yeah, I read that twice myself. I have a bad case of RBF.

 

[bass_case]

I’ve never felt the need to use that feature. Easy enough to just skip over low-value posts, which you can spot within a sentence or two.

You don’t have to wait for the caboose to figure out where the train is heading.

The most troublesome people on here tend to get themselves banned anyway.

^^^THIS!

Negative, snarky, fault-finding commenters typically dig their own grave. And when they are doing what they do, they have themselves convinced that they are winning, when in actuality, the only person they are hurting is themself. This holds true not only on TB, but in life in general.

It kinda reminds me of when someone says "they fired me from my job" when in reality, they *should* be saying "I fired me from my job." Some people just don't get that whole self-responsibility thing.

For those who get banned from TB, it wasn't TB than banned them. It was them banning themself by the choices they made.

Natural selection. It works like a charm!
