Before this election cycle began I had two people on ignore.

I just counted. I now have forty.

How they plan to mend fences, I don't see it happening.

1. Close To 500 On Ignore Now

eom

[MissDeeds]

2. I'm right there with you

For years I never had more than one or two on ignore; now I have many, close to two hundred.

I never believed in censorship or shutting down discussion, but this primary has been so divisive and alienating that I prefer not to engage in confrontations that I know will not end well.

It hurts to have to say that, but that is how it is.

3. I just put them all on ignore

I can't stand double standards. If Bernie was even asked for directions from an FBI agent they would scream that he needs to drop out because the scandal will destroy the party. It's okay if it's Hillary being chased by dozens of agents though.

4. I had 7. Now I have over 300

her supporters are pretty rude. And they think WE'RE bad! They are the rudest, most vile supporters I've ever come across.

[Scootaloo]

5. I just trashed the Hate/Rage/Contempt group and GDP.

I have a few egregious examples on ignore, but that's actually independent of hte primaries.

[NV Whino]

6. I finally succumbed to the ignore function the other day

It's a small list. I only put on the people with the nastiest rants. They were nasty before the primaries and became even nastier during. they will probably stay on the list until they are eventually PPRed. I expect I will add the newbys as they arrive. They're worthless anyway.

11. I succumbed a couple weeks before you, only have a small handful but what a difference it makes!

Thanks to everyone for suggesting this approach.

[Capt.Rocky300]

7. I must be a slacker.....

I have only 60.

[silvershadow]

8. I have a fair number myself on ignore. Makes it so peaceful not to listen to their blind nonsense.

[deepestblue]

10. I don't ignore a soul

I simply skim through the GDP threads and only read non-snarky replies.

How do I accomplish this?

Simple ...

I only read replies by those with a Bernie avatar.

[left-of-center2012]

12. "I only read replies by those with a Bernie avatar"

I'm a Bernie supporter. I post pro-Bernie posts and anti-Hillary posts, yet I do not use any avatar.
(Used to use Buddha)

I just don't like to be labeled and pre-judged by anyone.

[deepestblue]

13. I know,

I miss out on a lot of great posts. It's just a shortcut that allows me to read the threads without seeing all the snark from the paid trollz

[senz]

14. I find their nonstop ugliness stunning.

Never met a worse group of people.

I like to know what's going on, so I only put them on ignore if they seem flat-out nuts.

15. The ratios tell the story

Sanders group
Number of subscribers: 1042
Number of people trashing: 183
Number banned: 362
Ratio of subscribers to banned: 2.88

Clinton group
Number of subscribers: 413
Number of people trashing: 425
Number banned: 875
Ratio of subscribers to banned: 0.47

Anyone want to take bets as to how many banned members they get before the Dem convention? I'm betting 950.

[surrealAmerican]

16. I don't think there is any plan to mend fences.

They seem to think we'll all be banned.

Personally, I don't use ignore because it gives me the same uneasy feeling as people talking about me behind my back. I'd rather know what they're saying, even if it's nasty crap.

[Art_from_Ark]

21. I used to feel like that

But so many of them became so predictable and so anti-Bernie I just quit caring.

[mac56]

17. A poster that I followed for a long time, always sought out and appreciated his thoughtful posts

I just put him on full ignore.

[TBF]

18. I had 10, and now hundreds

I keep telling myself just to log out already and let it go.

I guess habit is a hard thing to break.

I will definitely miss many people and not all are at JPR

[riderinthestorm]

19. There are many posters I will never respect again. Some I even considered friends

Their comments, lies, and seething contempt for all things Bernie (and towards us his supporters) has been an eye-opener.

[deepestblue]

20. Re:

It's also a safe guess that most with an FDR, John Lennon or Wellstone avi are also Pro-Bernie.
