Never has my IGNORE list been so long.

[graywarrior]

I never really used it until the past few weeks. I wonder if this is an indication that my time here is coming to an end.

[flvegan]

1. Nyah, nyah you can't read this response!

I think there's a lot more idiocy here right now. Primary days aren't always good times.

[graywarrior]

7. Nyag nyah, yes I can.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

been wondering the same thing myself

I thought it was just me.

[Sugar Smack]

2. Hi, and yes.

I personally ask you not to disappear from DU. But I understand what you're saying completely. Here:

[graywarrior]

4. Nice drawing.

[Sugar Smack]

6. Thank you.

I like old-school weaponry.:-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear graywarrior!

I hope I'm not on it!:scared:


And I hope even more that your time here is not coming to an end!

:cry:

:hug:

[graywarrior]

5. Mostly GD-P people with less than 500 posts who are incredibly stupid

[GoneOffShore]

21. And there you have it.

Every time I go into GDP my list gets longer.
And it's recently joined, very low post count, sketchy or hidden profiles who are generating the asshat comments.

Hang in there.

[zanne]

50. I wish profiles were mandatory. nt

[Greyskye]

8. I've been here for 7 years now

And this primary season is the first time I've ever used the ignore feature.

I had a half dozen folks on it a couple weeks ago, then cleared it because I'm a curious masochistic bastard.

As of today it's got 15 people on it again. Wonder how long I'll last this time. :eyes:


(edit - typo)

[graywarrior]

11. Same here. Been around since early 2002 and never needed Nexium like now.

[madinmaryland]

9. Please stay out of GD:P!

:hi:

[jobycom]

10. Mine's empty.

But I skim a lot more than I read. :)

[SeattleGirl]

12. I have added many people to my list over the past few days.

Most have a small number of posts to their name, but some have thousands. In both cases, I added them because I cannot stand the racist, sexist, hateful, ugly posts they do.

I'm not leaving, and I hope you don't either. You're too good a person. :hug:

[graywarrior]

13. I need to stay out of GD-P

But it bugs me that I need to do that just because of a handful of idiots.

[SeattleGirl]

15. Yeah, I know.

Right now, any time I see someone posting something completely idiotic and hateful, boom, onto the list they go.

[Generic Brad]

32. You are not alone

The level of impoliteness and nastiness is like nothing I have ever seen here before. But again - it seems to be isolated to GD-P. GD has seemed like Mayberry all week by comparison.

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Word.

:hug:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. No, the real test is your life flashing before your eyes.

Oh, you meant "my time here" in DU terms.

Never mind.

:rofl:

[DarkTirade]

17. Mine's still empty...

but I tend to just ignore those who deserve to be ignored without any electronic assistance. :)

:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

18. NO!

You cannot leave. You belong here more than those asshats you've ignored.
Duckie

[darkstar]

19. Let's hope not.

I'm already getting panicky about what Thursday nights around here will be like during your move (all about me, don'cha know....)

:pals:

[RockaFowler]

20. GD:P is very scary

And I think you're right, there are a ton of people who have only been here 3-4 months and have a few hundred posts, yet they spew vile words. I don't understand it either. I tried to bring a little - HEY GUYS, we are here to win the Presidency. Why do people say terrible things they would never say to you in public?? I just don't get it!

[zanne]

49. It's easier to be nasty when it's anonymous. nt

[AlCzervik]

22. Hey Tim Gunn will be on The biggest loser tonight to do makeovers.

[Mojambo]

29. I hope Brittany is still there to get one.

That girl is so incredibly hot.

[AlCzervik]

33. she is and Tim Picked out a dress with a plunging neckline and she's a bit nervous but

she is beautiful and Tim knows what he's doing. I want a makeover from Tim! Waaaaaa.

[Mojambo]

36. Plunging neckline. I like the sound of that.

Can't wait to see it.

[AlCzervik]

39. she looked very pretty, plunging--yes indeed. Her Mom was there "that neckine is a little low!"

[GoneOffShore]

23. I just went through mine

Which is very long and found that three of the posters I had put on ignore have gotten pizza deliveries.

Most satisfying.

[Ptah]

24. I'm looking forward to you first posts from your new/old home.

[ThomCat]

25. I hope not!

:(

:hug:

[x-g.o.p.er]

26. Hope I'm not on it

I enjoy reading what you have to say.

[graywarrior]

27. No one who posted is on my IGNORE list

In fact, I don't even know the people on my list.

[quip]

31. Yet....

[graywarrior]

43. You might be the first

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahhahahhaha!

[quip]

59. That long response time had me convinced!

If I'm on an ignore list, will I dream? :shrug:

[graywarrior]

60. Long response time is due to waiting for Rolaids to take effect

[rosesaylavee]

28. No, maybe it's just a sign that the primary wars will soon end.

I use the ignore function fairly liberally right now. (pun intended) I will review and purge after the nominee is determined. Looked at it the other day and wasn't surprised to see a growing number of posters on there who have acquired the granite cookie.

[1800flowers]

30. Primary season has attracted many obnoxious kids

I feel your pain.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. I think of the Ignore list as a kind of lint trap.

[quip]

65. BAAAAAAH!!!!ELEVENS!! I like that analogy! From now on, I'm calling stupid posts "lint"

:rofl: :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. The only reason mine isn't twice as long

is it'd make DU look like a fucked-up CD sounds.

[graywarrior]

52. How true.

I so want to see what is going on but I'm afraid to look.

[FloridaJudy]

37. Stay in the lounge

We have cookies. And friendly critters.



GD-P is in dire need of massive pharmaceuticals. My psychiatrist has warned me to stay out of there (seriously).

[GreenPartyVoter]

38. It's really been insane, but I find limiting my time in GD:P makes all the difference

[sammythecat]

40. I can relate to your frustration.

I haven't checked into GD-P for a couple days, but most days I do look in there. My time spent there gets shorter with each visit. I get the exact same feeling as I get when I occasionally check out Freeperville. It's always depressing, and always infuriating, and after a while I say to myself, "What in the fuck am I DOING here? I'm just bumming myself out by the minute reading this shit." If I stay too long it just puts me in a bad mood. It's very discouraging and not very healthy. There's some real pathological cranks over there that I'm sure must feel incomplete and disoriented when not in a state of fury.

Anyway, enough with the thoughts about staying away. We put up with you're irresponsible fling with that punk with the tattoos, and now there's the drama of your more mature romance with Alan Rickman. You can't leave. Sooner or later you'll dump the Snapester and we wanna know who or what's next.

[graywarrior]

54. I actually end up taking a Rolaid after I spend a few minutes there just reading the topic lines

And I just watched Snow Cake, which was outstanding. Alan....*sigh*.

[Tyler Durden]

41. I keep waiting to see people on my HUGE ignore list show up here as blanks spots.

Funny how that hasn't happened yet.

I take that back. Just saw the first one. Oh well.

[Eurobabe]

42. I have 162 approx. on my list. HAHA!!!

:hi:

[graywarrior]

53. Cripes, you've made a career out of it!

:applause: :rofl:

[Eurobabe]

61. Yeah, and what will I do after we have a nominee?

I'll be so bored. :boring:

[graywarrior]

63. There's always

http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

[Eurobabe]

66. i got rickrolled!!

AGH!!

[LostinVA]

62. I got you beat

515 people, out of that about a dozen are only on PM ignore, and there's one forced ignore.

[DainBramaged]

44. Mine is record setting

I am sure I am on many many myself, but that's ok, I wouldn't want to make those people any smarter than they need to be.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Highway61]

45. Oh for heaven's sake...

Don't go...your posts give me a dose of comic relief...and that is a good thing.

[BarenakedLady]

46. Nooooooo!

We NEEEEED you! I NEEEEED you! Don't leave me!

:cry: :hug: :loveya:

[Ellen Forradalom]

47. No, it just means it's primary season.

It's going to get worse before it gets better, but it WILL get better.

[zanne]

48. I think it's funny how the people I put on ignore...

Keep trying to reply to my posts. (Even after they realize they're on Ignore).

[soleft]

51. Mine began to fill up yesterday, around, I don't know 11:30 amish

[La Lioness Priyanka]

56. ?

from the lounge?

[soleft]

64. No, GDP

I think I once put someone in the lounge on ignore because they were spamming, and not very well. And I never see ignore in lounge threads, so I guess that person is gone.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

55. mine too. i think its upto 50

[Brigid]

57. I don't have anyone on ignore.

Maybe that's because I stay out of GDP! :evilgrin:

[auntAgonist]

58. There is not one name on my ignore list.

:shrug:


:hi:

aA

[Awsi Dooger]

67. Same here

Although I'm sure I'm on plenty of them.

I've never seen a website so obsessed with ignore. On sports sites the topic is virtually never mentioned, because fans are more stout and thrive on counter opinion, realizing they actually learn and benefit from it. Someone can be a jerk on one topic and marvelously astute on another.

In the sports forum on DU I can't remember a childish ignore thread. Other than when trumad is in top form. :)
