The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHey, 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?

(8,492 posts)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 doubt that makes you an idiot. It makes Orrex something of a smartass, though.

I'm so glad I opened this thread! I couldn't figure out what I'd done to piss off Orrex!

(21,020 posts)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
