Y'know, I tried to keep an open mind on DU.
I purged my ignore list a few months ago, from 660 to 38. That was sorta a big deal for me, and I've just taken to not responding to some, or alerting on others, etc... but in about the last 3 days, my ignore list is now up to 138. And that's with exercising restraint on the button unlike earlier.

I'm sure I'll add more, but unlike the last un-purge, I will not ever take these people off.

31. I'm thinking we need a plan of action!
We get there right at 10 when they open. We can both download a map of the place. Highlight the stores to pillage...I mean shop. And go to TOWN! We park in the center so many trips to drop off the booty...I mean purchases, can be place in the car, thus freeing up the arms for more treasures!! My sister and I are VIP members so I will print out all the good coupons, and have her do the same so we will have doubles! BWHAHAHA! They won't know what hit them! :D :bounce: :woohoo: :toast:

8. I thought about going for another 6 when I decided to un-purge
But if I wanted to hit 666 I would just be pushing it. ;)

12. I go on spurts
If something pisses me off, I go on a spree, and put everyone advocating for that on ignore. After the Un-Purge, I backed off on that.

However, the last three days just put me over the top. Now everyone posting racist shit is on ignore, and I'm not looking back. And it took a while for me to finally go on the ignore rampage again. I can't stand the racist shit here. Even though it's the primaries, I will never, ever forgive them, and they're dead to me.

:hi:

11. I tried ignore recently and it made me nuts.
I kept on wondering just WHAT the asshole was saying that I wasn't able to see. Bugged me so bad I had to take him OFF ignore just so I knew what stupid shit he was saying...

13. I sometimes take someone off ignore
But that's not because there was an ignore on some thread of mine, or one I'm reading, but because some other DUer told me that I just have to read this and respond.

19. I've done the same thing.
No point in ignoring. I always end up wanting to know what they're saying. I just have to MAKE MYSELF not respond.

33. Heh, for a minute it didn't register that it was you responding
and not sniffa.

Damn lack of icons and stuff... not that I can even remember what your and sniffa's icons are... but still. :P I'd probably recognize 'em if I saw 'em.

15. I periodically purge the tombstones
so my list is fairly thin.

17. you know what is sad, before the primaries started there were some posters
who had been around for a fairly long time and i always enjoyed there posts but since then some of them have just blown me away with their vitriol. Other posters who i thought sucked just confirmed my opinion of them but the ones, well i guess that mens my radar is totally broken.

20. Oh tell me about it

However, I was just told by Bi-Baby, that one of my original 38 just started a thread in response to me.

Good for him. :thumbsup:

24. That one was a long ago one
based mainly on spamming and self promotion. But also because of some jaw dropping statements (but most of those I only know of second hand, as the ignore was in effect before those).

32. It was part of my plan to crash DU
It didn't work though. x(

Though then again, after upping my i-list to 138, I see DU is on level 2. Maybe it's finally working.

38. I think you're on to something
I think Skinner, EarlG and elad should put you on the payroll as the DU beta-tester. I want to see us up to DefCon 4 tonight!

34. I only have one on my list...
And s/he's only there because s/he didn't get tombstoned when s/he was abusive.
