    it's a very nice feature. What sr doesn't realize is people are going to naturally ignore who they don't want to listen to anyway. I almost never read desh posts anymore. Ignore feature should be an individual choice.

    I note nothing of the sort. Most who want an ignore feature want to exclude those who only insult without points to be made. They scroll past the quotes, much like they would purposely ignore hearing the person they are avoiding at a party...

    I haven't said you lost anything. If you notice you are still talking and you are still being heard regardless of such a feature. You can ease your fear, I won't ignore you....

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

As much as they annoy me.. I wouldnt use the ignore button.
    Most wouldn't, but for those who want to it's there. Why should it be such a big deal... It hasn't effected you, has it?

    Speaking for someone using it, I can tell you why. To avoid communicating with people you just don't wish to deal with anymore. I'm sure you have some people who just want to post to antagonize you, I've seen them post. I am sure you get tired of reading it, and would just like to tune it out. The ignore option allows you to do this, so that your thread conversation is cleaner.

    I commend Damo on this feature, and it's indeed the reason I am HERE and not THERE.

    Right. Its not about ignoring different viewpoints, its about ignoring the shit that goes beyond the fray.

    LOL, except when a shitbrick goes beyond the frey to make a point to someone that is on his ignore list!

    This feature is a very good for shitbricks to have an excuse not to reply to something that they have posted when convenient for them......

    Post The roof is leaking all over the place$

    The wood got wet. it expanded.



    Greenboard is a term that's occasionally used for a type of drywall that is used for walls
    in damp but not wet zones in a building. Originally, greenboard was used as a direct backer
    board for ceramic tile in highly wet areas such as showers or bathtubs but this usage began
    to be phased out in the 1990s.Dec 10, 2020

    Mold is a type of fungus. These small organisms can be black, white, orange, green,
    or purple and live almost anywhere indoors and outside. Molds thrive on moisture and
    reproduce through lightweight spores that travel through the air. You're exposed to mold
    every day. They're usually harmless in small amounts.

    Werewolf What do you see? Confusion

    He's tired and had it. Not getting what he normally gets.





    Well, I was on my way home
    From Woodgrain station
    He stopped me in the middle of the road
    He was a big black dog, whinin' along
    He said, "You better do what you told"
    I jumped back, rather astounded
    I never heard a dog could speak


    As sad as the whole situation is. The women the dog the husband. The rent!

    He's throwing the curveball and they're all dodging the
    disfunction in the home that comes from the adults.

    The kid has now become screwy.

    I brake my back and now they call the phuzz on me and I get locked up. The backbone is no more. How do you fix it?$?$

    I've read countless announcements of ppl putting someone on ignore, not once was it for their views, but rather their actions
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
