    Oh I don't ignore or ban anyone ever.

    I also have never groaned anyone


    the groaning at the levels some do here could have them developing a hernia


    poor little slow children

    Evince, I've always admired you for that: you have far more patience than I can aspire to.

    Same here. I don't know how she puts up with some of the tards here. She must take her brain out every evening and sanitize it. lol

    Hello iolo,

    I once considered it a source of pride to have nobody on Ignore. I participated in a chat room for over a decade like that until I began to wonder what that was really worth. After pondering the situation a bit, it occurred to me that the people who pooh pooh the Ignore feature the most are often the worst trolls. After that realization I never worried about it again.
    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

    I make sure I see their posts as an opportunity to impart humor and a perfect chance to REPEAT the actual facts


    when one has the FACTS on their side they are happy to repeat those facts endlessly

    I consider it a matter of self-control and discipline to not groan any posters. For one thing, I make it a point to generally never read anyone I consider subpar, mediocre, dim witted, offensive, or just mind-numbingly boring. Furthermore, I cannot let anonymous posters who aren't my friends have the slightest chance of eliciting an emotional response from me.

    At this point, groans, tepid insults, and impotent slurs and barbs directed at me from message board dupes have no effect on me. None whatsoever. I can't see how it would for any competent adult over the age of 18.
