I agree... some would do well to scrub their brains clean and naked as to start again fresh. 😉
I'm with Jan in my extremely limited use of ignore, which is limited to a couple users who say the same thing ad infinitum, so I can skim right past the nonsense and know the gist of what's written by just seeing the poster's name.
It's an anti-stupid measure (I don't reply to the nonsense) and one that makes my experience here better. Lots and lots of folks that I wholesale disagree with (and could have the book of logical fallacies written ON them...) are in plain view, which is good. We need differing opinions.
Also, I can't think of another forum as well maintained as this one, so kudos to the moderators. Not to say there isn't a better maintained one, but I haven't crossed it. 🙂

Very grateful for the excellent signal to noise ratio on this site which needs only minor tweaks via the ignore list to be near perfect.
Hello again, hope you are keeping well in these strange times we are living through.

Ignoring is a pretty effective retaliation to trolls.
It works like wonder on those who have nothing in their life but to feel important posting crap.
There is no need for an ignore list to do ignoring.
Let them worry they are ignore listed.
They will know here, who they are.

That list is a great feature, I’m up to 12 people in about 19 years, not bad...lol

Agree - saves me time having to read through it, am not always looking at the names when following a thread.
Another nice thing of the ignore list: if a member in your ignore list decides to change his user name, the list will not be fooled and keep him in ignore. Neat!

Stay on topic. Off topic posts removed.
I have a couple. If you're arrogant I can tolerate you. Ignorant, I can tolerate you. If you're an arrogant, ignorant, aggressive halfwit? Yeah. Buh-Bye Donnie!
I'm often ignorant and people still seem to like me so there's some truth in only ignoring once the three traits combine.
I have a tendency to ignore when someone does any of these intentionally and is not willing to accept feedback about. When you're ignorant and you know it, and you don't want to change, then that feels like a good reason to not bother. It's wasted energy. Efficiency > xmax

Takk venn, som er vennlig (thanks friend, that's friendly.)
I can even get away with not speaking one of the most used languages on this planet. I studied Norwegian for a while when I spoke to friends from Norway. Oddly enough I no longer do because they became arrogant to me and I started to ignore them.
Not sure how to respond to that, except that there seems to be plenty of arrogance to go around.
In my limited experience, you'll find all kinds of personalities everywhere. Anywhere I've been on this ball we live on, I've met people that have been: silly, smart, nice, arrogant, caring, depressed, positive, selfish, sharing, and so on an so forth.
Hope you have friends that care about you, as you care about them.
I don't have a lot of people that I call my friends, but they are good, and they somehow even manage to tolerate me.
That's enough. 🙂
