Hey, DU'ers who use Ignore/been ignored: can you help me out?

Scrolling though a thread today, I noticed a Poster whom I've never called out or confronted--one with whom I've never had any kind of individual rapport--has me on Ignore. I always figured that was a function for folks who get into a flame war, which I've been conscious not to do on DU. (I save that for Twitter ).

Just curious: I sometimes wonder if there's a subtext here that I'm completely oblivious to. Have you ever ignored someone just because they might annoy or bore you, or do you save that for all out hostilities?

I don't know what I might have said to be offensive, but hey, you can't please everybody.

But just remember: I wasn't the one to do it. My first thought was that I'd bored you to death: a far worse effect than if I'd been all confrontational and edgy with you!

Are you talking about Orrex? That's his sig line.
Otherwise, I don't think there's a way to tell when someone has you on ignore.

I had to go to "Announcements" to make sure that the Admins hadn't added a new feature.

that I got fooled for a few minutes, too.

But then I remembered that I have more than one person ignoring me, and I had never seen that message from anyone else, especially the ones most likely to have me on ignore.

That's when I realized...

it's a sig line!

It's a pretty good prank, though
