Putting people on ignore:

I found out shortly after we went to DU2 that 2 people had me on ignore.

Huh.


Now there are 3.



I know as a liberal Catholic I annoy conservative Catholics and atheists. I know that I repeat myself. But I do try to be polite and readily apologize when I've done wrong. It all goes to show that this method of communication can cause hard feelings where none are intended.

Be careful out there!

in the Lounge.



And you would only be annoying if you were trying to push religion where it doesn't belong. Or serving bad coffee after church on Sunday.

Otherwise - Party on dude!

I have 5. I had 6, but someone must have realized what a charming individual I truly am.

For the record, I have 0 people on ignore. I don't see the point. Even those that I disagree with 99% of the time will get it right once in awhile.

Sorry, but I'm against stretching the Big Tent so it includes people who support Republican economic positions, and I'm SUPER unapologetic about my stance.

It has been previously linked without objection at DU, so I'm hoping I won't incur the wrath of the spam police, who are on high alert right now:

And honestly, I was trying to tone down my annoyablitity a bit but well like another poster said - they're doing you a favor.

I have no one on ignore.

13. I agree with hedgehog. Between MFM's & your posts, I'm in constant awe of your wit.

You are one clever, funny girl & those ignorers are missing out. Not having a sense of humor must be miserable.

You go, girl!

Just joking. I'm an atheist and you've never annoyed me; I find your posts really interesting.

No one is currently ignoring me, but until recently there was one; I don't know if they took me off iggy, or got MIRTED for something! I only have one person on ignore.

there is one person who has come real close....just because they are too prolific and I am sick of doing the manual ignore.

So far, though, I am dealing with it.

So.......although I am an atheist, I am not one of the people ignoring you. Well, not officially.

12. Putting someone on ignore is like cutting one's nose off to spite their faces.

It isn't your reading continuity that gets screwed up with blank sub-threads -- it's theirs!
