I’m not sure we’re talking about the same thing. A typical ignore list simply does not show posts by people on the list. For example, if someone said something I personally found insulting, but was not technically trolling or flaming, I could place them on my ignore list and never have to look at their posts again.

No, I get it, I know how it works--it just seems wrong for this kind of forum. To me, at least--it just doesn't seem right. If someone is being truly abusive, we have mods; if someone if being repugnant to us (anyone) in a personal way, we have two options: Reasoned argument, which is what I love about this forum, or taking it upon ourselves to ignore a poster who is being unreasonable. We're all adult enough to shoulder that responsibility without adding cumbersome applications to the forum.

Net, I wouldn't dream of it!!!

I hope you both enjoyed a Happy Easter!
