DU End Of Year Census - How Many People Are Now On Your Ignore?

[Wat_Tyler]

Since the post-election chaos and the incessant flamewars, I thought it might be a good time to ask the perennial question - how many people do you have on ignore? Has that number gone up since the election?

[terrya]

1. My answer is zero.

I have no one on ignore at this time.

[crispini]

2. None.

I've tried it with certain posters who irritate me, but my incredible curiosity to see what they're posting NOW leads me to take them off ignore. :evilgrin:

I have more of a mental ignore list. Certain stuff by certain people just merits a heavy sigh and a shake of the head.

[StopTheMorans]

14. *waits to hear a heavy sigh and see shake of the head upon posting this*

:evilgrin:

[crispini]

47. LOL, not you!

:hug: One of my favorite lounge loons! :)

[sniffa]

3. i used to not have any ignores

but LateLy they're piLing up

[LDS Jock]

58. am I on ignore?

can you see this message?

[sniffa]

91. of course not

i'd be at a Loss without you. :loveya:

[LoZoccolo]

4. 14

It's gone way up after the election. At one point there were more than eighty people on it. What sucks is that every now and then someone will reply to one of my messages who I have on ignore, and I start doing this thing where I unignore half of them and see if that fixes it, then repeat it until I can see who the message is from. I wish there were a way to peek to find out who it is so I could just unignore that one person.

[Mad_Dem_X]

80??????

Sh*t, if I felt like I had to ignore 80 people on a forum, I'd just stop visiting that forum, at least for a while. LOL

[LoZoccolo]

54. Think about it this way.

The more people I put on ignore, the better it gets. The signal/noise ratio improves.

Plus, it's still the case that when DU is good, it's really good.

[Guaranteed]

63. LOL Dean supporters.

Hmmmmmmmmmm???

[LoZoccolo]

70. Actually, no.

I was a Dean supporter for a long time, and a DFA member even now. I don't think I'd ever put someone on just because I disagree with them politically - I enjoy sparring with people who also enjoy it enough to value it's parameters; it's usually good for both sides.

[redqueen]

5. Zero

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Still None

You should have had that as a choice to get a really good picture of how common that is!
The Professor

[Wat_Tyler]

10. Yeah, I had zero in there, but it seems to have disappeared.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Bummer!

Now i'll have to put you on ignore, you "poll screwin' up, no havin' zero for a choice, potential freeper infiltrator". Or maybe not.
The Professor

[Wat_Tyler]

21. I left out zero, because zero is an arabic concept.

And I hates me those damn arabic terraists!

[ProfessorGAC]

25. LOL!

Way to cap the conversation!
The Professor

[AwakeAtLast]

7. Zero because.....

by the time I get to it, they have already been tombstoned!

Our mods are great, are they not?

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. Zero. Ignore is for sissies.

[Wat_Tyler]

12. There's occasionally one poster I might put on - he's an obsessive.

But I always feel weird about doing it.

[StopTheMorans]

9. none- if you can't take the heat, get your ass out the kitchen

:P

[Wat_Tyler]

16. I agree,

[MisterP]

18. or sweat heavily and use potholders

300+ here
:P back atcha!

[StopTheMorans]

20. touche

well, at least i'm not on there :P (yet :evilgrin:

[sundog]

11. 0

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. I don't have anyone on ignore.

Am I a freak? :freak:

[skygazer]

15. Absolutely none

There are a couple of people who tend to post stuff that makes me say :wtf: but that's half the fun of the whole thing.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

17. None

Even people who are infuriating on some issues often have something intelligent or amusing to say on other issues.

[Left Is Write]

22. None.

[alexisfree]

23. none...

[sandnsea]

24. Just 2

One is obsessed about one thing and the other obsessed about something else. Same shit, new day, gets old.

[Wat_Tyler]

26. Yeah, it's usually the obsessives that I want to ignore.

It gets tedious, quick.

[Blue Gardener]

71. 2 for the same reason

Heard it all before, and didn't want to keep hearing it. It's been awhile though, so maybe it's time to give them another chance.

[asthmaticeog]

27. Just one.

Used to be two, then one of 'em got tombstoned.

[Wat_Tyler]

31. Cool.

Always nice when that happens.

30. Yeah, damn that newyawker99 and her infernal congratulations threads!

WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? :evilgrin:

[Phillycat]

37. Hee!

Never NY99! :)

[newyawker99]

44. Hi Wat_Tyler!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:


:P

[Wat_Tyler]

45. DAMN YOU, NEWYAWKER99!

I WOULD'VE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT TOO IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU MEDDLING KIDS! :hi:

[Cadence]

38. Really ?

You don't have our friend on ignore?

I just have the one and he's it!

[Phillycat]

39. No, no.

That particular person is just an idiot, not truly dangerous. This other person has it out for me and is extremely mean about it.

[Blue-Jay]

29. ZERO. "Ignore" is for sissies!

[bobbobbins]

32. I wonder whos been ignored by the most people

48. It appears the mods took that one seriously.

Sorry about that.

[Magrittes Pipe]

81. You bastard!

You know I can still see deleted threads! :grr:

[Wat_Tyler]

82. Yes, and what a redundant Super Power that is.

[Magrittes Pipe]

83. I'll wound you with my rapier-like wit!

[Wat_Tyler]

87. My dear boy.

The correct word is 'Penis'.

[jdots]

80. hopefully me

The Funists try to annoy everyone just ignore this.......hello ?

[derbstyron]

33. None

I scan all posts (or try to anyway) and dismiss any irritating, irrelevant comments

[MsAnthropy]

34. I just put two on today but my curiosity is going to get the better of me

and I'll end up taking it off. It's fun to see them top themselves!

[FM Arouet666]

36. ZERO. Although, I try to ignore myself. n/t

[FizzFuzz]

40. Doubt anyone will see my answer, cuz I know you've all got me on ignore

:dunce:

(PS. I haven't ever redlined anyone and I doubt I ever would)

[goodboy]

41. NONE. I want to hear what everyone has to say, this is DU, not

freeperville.

[amazona]

42. no one

I can't remember names and faces of people I've actually met, so getting P.O.ed enough at a name on the internet to be able to remember and ignore probably won't happen. When some post or thread bugs me, I may throw out a few comments, but it all blows over and is forgotten soon enough.

[DS1]

43. When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now,

Will you still be sending me a Valentine,birthday greetings,
bottle of wine?
If I'd been out 'till quarter to three,would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

[curse10]

46. I have quite a few-

makes my DU experience much nicer

[jonnyblitz]

49. is that why you never respond to my posts?

don't know why i even typed this since you can't see it. OOOOPS :P

[curse10]

75. you only wish I had you on ignore!!!!

:P

[jonnyblitz]

50. none, too nosey to see what others are saying no matter who.

I can't handle it even when a post gets deleted and I did't get a chance to read it!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

51. I would never stoop to the ignore feature - I'm afraid of nothing

[Guaranteed]

52. Just one...but it's from a long time ago, and I really haven't

seen her around anymore....:P

[St. Jarvitude]

53. One, but he/she/it was tombstoned.

It was pretty obvious.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

55. Two

One had an exceptionally aggressive and snotty attitude toward me; the other is sickeningly preachy and overly prone to give unsolicited advice to others. Everything else either makes me laugh or rolls right off like water off a duck's back.

[Coventina]

56. None

You know, I can never remember who makes me mad.

I guess I just don't hold grudges.

I can get into a total flame war one day, and by the next, I can't remember who it was with.

Early dementia?
:shrug:

Besides, the person I argue with one day may be my ally the next.

[LDS Jock]

57. 4.. I put all of them on just last night

[La Lioness Priyanka]

59. zero

[Placebo]

60. Three

Bloody buggery bollocky BASTARDS, they are.

[FizzFuzz]

61. oh come on, I'm not THAT bad

:P

[Placebo]

62. YES YOU ARE!

But bad in a good way. :9

[FizzFuzz]

64. you seem to be begging for a taunting

now watch it you silly Placebo-a, or I shall taunt you a second time-a!

[Placebo]

65. Dog.

Woof.

[FizzFuzz]

66. I'll see that cheesy pic and raise you one

(royal flush, eh?)

[Placebo]

69. I'll take YOUR cheesy pic, and raise you...

http://www.walhello.com/barbara+streisand.gif

a photo of Barbara Streisand!

[FizzFuzz]

79. no way! My pic is MUCH cheezier.

Don't believe me?
Fine.
I'll make a poll.

(throws down the gauntlet)

[miss_kitty]

67. 2

married. From a Rocky Mountain State. Protesting too much about some shit some guy allegedly did, as if they were there. So I gave them the STFU treatment.

[RagingInMiami]

68. Not a single person

Nobody has pissed me off that much to put them on ignore.

[Padraig18]

72. None. I've always thought it was chickenshit.

:)

[prolesunited]

73. Only you

:hi:

[Wat_Tyler]

84. Really?

Me too! :o

[HEAVYHEART]

74. None

[hippiechick]

76. 8, but one of them got tombstoned ....

So my list can now be edited downward :)



:hippie:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

77. None

There are some I could see putting on there, but I guess I'm too nice.

[Cobalt Violet]

78. Someone is yanking my chain.

But right now my list is empty because everyone I had on it was tombstoned.

[NightTrain]

85. My ignore list had been up to 15 people. However...

...after the "election," I felt the desire to do something positive, so I cleared my list. To date, it remains empty. Cross your fingers.

[Politicub]

86. I have two DUers on ignore

Both are one note gun freaks. I choose not to dialogue with them.

[cmd]

88. Zero

I restored everybody after the primaries. I had quite a list going at that time.

[Undercover Owl]

89. 0

I guess I haven't been here long enough to be sick of anybody. :)

[MrSlayer]

90. Zero. I don't see the point.
