General Board Discussion: Why do people announce they have other people "on ignore?

I'm not so sure JPP uses the ignore funtion thoroughly or properly.

I am a member of other forums, where the IGNORE option totally blocks the one you ignore from seeing your comments or threads and also blocks you from you seeing theirs- IN THOSE OTHER FORUMS.

I do not believe that is how it is used here.

I think it makes no sense to block yourself from being able to comment on someone else comments, when they are still free to comment about yours.

That is more of a disadvantage rather than an advantage. The idea of People talking behind your back, and you not being able to see it or respond to it just don't make any sense to me.

So I do not use it here!

Feel free to depart for these "other forums".
 
Unreading all those posts so far. I feel good.

When you posted in my thread your foolishness became my business.

Don't like the way JPP works? Tough shit.

I was not being foolish- I was just being practical and pragmatic!

I explained why I think it is foolish to even use the Ignore option.

And either you agree with me, OR YOU SHOULD JUST IGNORE ME AS AN EXAMPLE INSTEAD OF MAKING AN ASS OUT OF YOURSELF!

So morons on ignore won't waste time and forum resources replying to those ignoring them.

If the ignored morons continue to reply to those ignoring them, well that's why we call them FUCKING MORONS.

Do you reply to posters who have you on IGNORE?

Yes, I reply to any and all posters who claim to have me on ignore. This is a public forum, and if I see a comment of theirs that I wish to respond to, I will respond to it accordingly.

I don't care if that person happens to have me on ignore or not, as this PUBLIC forum is a discussion that gets seen by people beyond just the person who I happen to be responding to.

They're unwilling to carry on a conversation with the person....and unable to just scroll on by...and really ignore them....

Bingo.

If I wish to ignore someone or someone's post, I do just that.
No ignore feature necessary, and no proclaiming of my ignoring of them or their posts is necessary either.

Yes, I respond to any and all people who claim to have me on ignore. So long as they continue to make posts on a PUBLIC forum, I will be responding to any and all of their posts that I wish to respond to, as my response is seen by the PUBLIC.

Well, now as you can easily see from my image above, you DO exist on somebody's IGNORE list. And you can also see you were wrong about who I'm ignoring. You're pretty good at being wrong. You're wrong so much, you'd think you'd get tired of being wrong.

Congratulations, mutherfukker.

Lovely. Thank you for removing yourself (and your stupidity) from the discussion. The rest of us will continue to participate in intellectual discourse.

Many times, they do it in threads started by the people they claim to be ignoring.

In quite a few instances, these folks are responding to a post by someone they'd previously announced they were ignoring.

Often, some of these individuals announce that they are putting someone "on ignore" even though they've already claimed to have done so, as if it's "news".

In a lot of cases, someone has proclaimed that they have taken someone "off ignore" and are now putting them back "on ignore"

Discuss.

For attention? To delude themselves that someone cares? Maybe for the same reason some people post useless crap on Facebook that no one gives a rat's ass about.

I think it is retarded for the simple fact no one cares. Do you care if Joe Blow "read" your post? I damn sure don't. If you don't read so and so's post or you are leaving, don't announce it -- JUST DO IT. F'in idiots. :D

... and I can't even think of one poster on here who I have wished to ignore 100% of the time, not even evince, so instead of constantly putting them on and taking them off of the ignore list, I just ignore them when I feel like it and I respond to them when I feel like it.

Indeed. They likely thought that their taxpayer-funded "education" was the sole responsibility of leftist union teachers, who may have tried to lead the horse to water but couldn't make them think.
 
Because we can. For example:

This message is hidden because Legion is on your ignore list.

See that was fun. And obviously, it gets under your skin to the point that you started a thread about it.
