What have you done today?

[Parts]

Made a five gallon pail top with a spout on it for work so I make less mess

i can see why people would be against it, and it could make things very confusing at times, but then i also see it as being up to those who choose to ignore or not to ignore, whether they have that option or not. if someone wants to use it, i think they should be able to, although i wouldn't myself and would hope it wouldn't be used TOO much. i don't see it as censorship or anything, because it's down to each individual person, whether or not they want to use it. if anything, it's giving people more freedom IMO, which is what people seem to want. there are plenty of people already "ignoring" certain peoples posts, from what i've read. all this would do is make it more convenient for them

How could it be more confusing than hundreds of posts to sift through looking for one nugget.

not confusing for the person doing the ignoring
confusing for other people, if there's a discussion going on and certain people aren't seeing half of it etc

With the one on Fractalus, if someone quoted a post or part of a post by the ignored person, the quote could still be seen, but you do have a good point, Soph.

Still, if the person makes comments on threads based only on the information they have seen, they probably won't respond to something that they haven't read.

Sounds like a very sweet dream, Callaway. I imagine you were totally shocked upon awakening.

 

 

How could one respond to a statement that one has not read?

One can't, but one can certainly reply without reading a rebuttal and continue to cloud the issues with multiple repeats of what has already been put forward.

Calandale does this without an ignore button, though.

It's ok, DD.  It was emo songs from my teen years, "Day after Day"--Badfinger, "Xanadu" --Olivia Newton John and stuff I bought cd's of like my Guess Who collection,   Petula Clark, etc.

But, if you want I'll pm you the list and I will be happy to mail them to you free of charge if any pique your interest.    I am serious about this.  They are sitting in my basement cull rack until they are sent out to good homes!
