    I do. I take groans from certain members as a compliment.

    Yeah, I don't get the groaning thing.

    I guess there have been a couple of times I had the urge to groan a post, but then I always thought: Sheesh. It's so negative. What's the point? And do I really want to spoil a perfect record for that post? So I never did it.

    I don't groan people - I just put 'em on Ignore. I don't do that lightly, but if I don't see a possible future of civil exchange with a poster they need to go on Ignore. The fact that I have this extra rule that Ignore is permanent causes me to make absolutely certain every time I have to do that.

    I do get groaned. But it occurs to me that if I am saying controversial enough stuff, that is to be expected.

    And I also see that a lot of the groans I get? They come from people I have placed on Ignore - as if that is all they are reduced to.

    So I don't worry about how many groans I get. They can almost be treated as a badge of honor.
    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 removed those joke Groans by the way

    when you have nothing coherent to say, I suppose a groan helps you to feel better. I've never groaned at anyone. As I've said before, when I feel that exchanges between myself and another poster just turn in to boring 'you're another' slanging matches, I put them on 'Ignore', which causes, I think, quite a few of the groans I get. If it helps them, good! I genuinely don't notice nowadays.

    Oh, well, in that case, they're fucking with you because they know you'll talk about it.
