Feel free to post in this thread. But only if you have NO ONE on your ignore list.

[ruggerson]

Consider this the bipartisan ignore-free thread for both Barack and Hillary supporters.

Take back DU!!



:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. I have no one on my ignore list...but I don't "support" either candidate...

Can I still post in this thread?

Disclaimer: I do support real, local, grassroots Dems like Sarah Roberts (D) for State Rep

[roguevalley]

87. I have no one on ignore. :) TOoooOOOooo little time, too much

lunacy. But I try and keep up. :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

93. I once had a person on a "time out" type ignore... I really liked the

person and I didn't want to end up hating him and/or her because of a silly disagreement.

[goletian]

111. welcome to ignore, jerk! jk... n/t

[boston bean]

2. ruggerson is that you? I can barely see ya! nt

:hi:

[XemaSab]

3. I have no one on my ignore list.

:hi:

[Mezzo]

4. w00t nt

[blm]

5. Never Ignore, never will.

But if someone finds it suits their needs, then that is their business.

[monmouth]

6. Me neither, I just don't read certain posts. You can pretty much tell

by the title and then check the # of posts...Then you move on, no "Ignore" for me..

[walldude]

7. No ignores here..

Want Obama will vote for Hillary. Any dem except for Lieberman...

[maddiejoan]

8. Let it Rise!

[Yes We Did]

109. What is that maddie?

I have a bowl just like that... don't know where it came from.

What do you cook in those?

[maddiejoan]

112. aha!

it's a souffle!

[MethuenProgressive]

9. I only ignore DUers who say they refuse to vote for our eventual nominee if it's not their choice.

Funny, but onlt DUbamas have made it to my list.
I'll give them all a second chance to act like Democrats, stop ignoring them asap.

[walldude]

40. So you came into a unity thread where is was requested

that you don't come in if you have someone on ignore, to bitch about Obama supporters that you have on ignore... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MethuenProgressive]

43. Read my post. I say I've taken them all off ignore.

I only have ignored posters who squeal they'll never vote for so-and-so and would rather risk a GOP win in November. In my post, I say I'm giveing them a second chance to act like Democrats and taking them off ignore. Why so quick to post hate in this positive thread, walldude?

[walldude]

56. So I'm posting hate because I called you out?

Funny looked to me like I was laughing at you. Sorry you took it wrong, maybe I took your condescension wrong as well...

[MethuenProgressive]

59. God bless you, walldude!

:hi:

[Yes We Did]

110. Oh, yeah... you....

Not that you care, but I did take you off my ignore list.

But, as I said... somewhere on here or somewhere... It's more of a means of controlling my temper than anything else.

[Umbram]

60. Wow, that's hard to believe...

Am I reading your post correctly that you'd never seen a HRC supporter say he/she wouldn't vote for Obama if he was the eventual nominee?

I'm not sure I'm interpreting your post the way you meant it. *shrugs*

[MethuenProgressive]

63. I only saw HillHaters saying that. Can't speak to things I didn't see. Umbram

I even started a thread asking the "I'll never vote for _____" people to confess, told them I would ignore them if they confessed, and the HillHaters lined up to get ignored!
'Ignored' and 'post removed' were common responders to my posts after that.

[Umbram]

70. Alright.

I can't argue what you do and do not see - it's not my business anyway.

I was just rather shocked - seeing as this thread has been bouncing around for the last few days:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5197500&mesg_id=5197500

And you've been posting in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5231402&mesg_id=5231402

Oh well.

[clevbot]

84. no ignore here

[walldude]

75. Here's one of your own for the list:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5234908&mesg_id=5241698

Just finished telling me he wouldn't vote for Obama no matter what.

[Bok_Tukalo]

10. I am posting here

Because I meet the criteria.

[MNDemNY]

11. I'm supporting the idea of a deadlocked convention.

Can I play? I'm an avid supporter of "someone else".

[frogcycle]

74. metoometoometoo

[MercutioATC]

12. Not one...I enjoy the fracas.

I think ignore lists are silly.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

13. I have no one on my ignore list, but I think that both the

Clinton and Obama supporters are completely nuts.

[NanceGreggs]

14. No one on IGNORE ...

... not now, not ever.

:hi:

[Clintonista2]

15. Checking in!

[MichaelHarris]

16. not one person on ignore, never have

and I hate a lot of people.

[goodgd_yall]

53. Lol!

[MichaelHarris]

62. :)

[LWolf]

17. I've ignored no one.

I've continued to join threads to speak to people that I find almost no common ground with.

I've also continued to stand my ground: I don't support either of the two centrist/corporate/3rd way candidates currently running.

[Speck Tater]

18. I ignore nobody.

Well, almost nobody. I never visit Free Republic, so I definitely ignore those nincompoops.

[Justyce]

19. I have no one on ignore, and I'd love for the grownups to take back DU...

[Shine]

20. I have no one on Ignore.

It's not really my style to get so caught up in emotional reactions here that I feel I have to take that step.

[Emit]

21. I have never put anyone on ignore

and don't plan on it

[JohnnyLib2]

22. No one on ignore.

BDSM?

[Auntie Bush]

23. Let it sink

so the Obama supporters won't have to see all the long list of people that don't have others on ignore.

I confess...I have never had anyone on ignore. I'm much too curious for that. I don't like just preaching to the choir.

[peoli]

24. dont even know where the ignore option is

[rzemanfl]

25. I have no one on my ignore list and if I am on anyone's ignore

list they may miss one of my occasional good one-liners. (I took out "can kiss my ass" and replaced it with all the words after "they.")

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. No ignored people here.

:hi:

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. I have no one and never had anyone on an ignore list

[goodgd_yall]

57. ..

That frog has a collar. Does it hop on a leash?

[boston bean]

28. Has anybody replied to this?????

[FedoraLV]

29. I am an Obama supporter

and I have no one on my Ignore list. Like my candidate, I listen to opposing points of view.

(I am FedoraLV and I approve this message.)

[doyourealize1]

30. let all voices be heard n/t

[chocome]

31. I have no one on my ignore list. Need to know the talking points for Obama bloggers

:-)

[TheDonkey]

32. I have no one on ignore but I do not support Hillary (at all)

but I do not mind her supporters expressing their opinion even when it is often outrageous, false, and hurtful to the party.

[Little Star]

33. Ruggerson, What are they saying?

[ruggerson]

36. mostly just sex talk

[Blue_In_AK]

34. I'm there, Ruggerson

I've never put anybody on "ignore," and I've only alerted when someone is completely over the top...and I mean COMPLETELY. This is supposed to be a discussion board, and discussion necessarily involves different points of view.

[Life Long Dem]

35. Not a one. I admit it was a rough day here yesterday

and I did put my first one on ignore, but just took it off.

[mucifer]

37. Me too. No ignoring. Tho DU was more fun before the

Hillary/Barack feud.

I'm on the Obama side and I just hope everything works out and mccain won't be our president.

[Maddy McCall]

38. No one on ignore in GDP

My ignores stem from a stupid thing related to another forum 2 years ago. And I'm not taking them off ignore.

[JerseygirlCT]

39. No ignores. Why bother?

If I've discovered reading anyone's posts is consistently too aggravating or not worth the effort, I'm capable of avoiding them without technological assistance!

[DerekJ]

41. ..

:hi:

[housewolf]

42. No "Ignores" on my list

Never found the need, it's easy enough to just dis-regard while reading...

:crazy:

[Hawkeye-X]

44. I can post here! Yessssss!!!

Yes, I have everyone off ignore, and here's my proof:

[rug]

45. I just step over them.

[Tennessee Gal]

46. No one on ignore, but the idiocy here is amazing.

More fun to read it than ignore it.

[myrna minx]

47. OK, I had a couple of people on ignore from before the primaries, but

I just removed them. :hi:

[biggerfishsmallpond]

48. I am too new to have an ignore list

or be ignored (I hope). If anyone gives me a Welcome to DU greeting, thanks. I won't respond, not because I am an A**hule, but because I am going out for beers. long live civil digital democratic discourse. why would you have an ignore list? you'd miss out on all the fun!

[bevoette]

72. me too

:hi:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

49. I'm too curious to put people on ignore.

I tried it once and it lasted all of one day before I took the poster back off. :P

[Tatiana]

50. HA!!!!!! n/t

[goodgd_yall]

51. I have no ignore list

I don't understand why people use ignore lists. I'm too curious to know what people have to say, I guess. And I have this thing called an open mind. Even if every post from certain DUers seem to be obnoxious as hell, there's always a chance they might say something worthwhile.

You can always just not click on the thread, if it's someone you figure only has another shitty comment to make.

[Skip Intro]

52. K&R! Not one on ignore.

[Beaverhausen]

54. I WILL IGNORE NO ONE

Let it fly.

[Umbram]

55. Nobody on my ignore list.

Dunno what's so painful about an opinion - the stupidest amongst us are generally only entertaining, at worst.

[crankychatter]

58. Am I the FIRST one to post?

jk

[AzDar]

61. Does 'SLAGATHOR' count?

;-)

[democrattotheend]

64. I don't even know how to use the ignore list.

I don't plan on putting anyone on ignore, but just out of curiousity, how do I do it?

[Bonobo]

65. I have no one on ignore, but is this a content-free thread too? It appears so...

[ruggerson]

66. Consider it the revenge of the adults

sort of ;)

[elixir]

67. I never ignore. It's kind of like watching a slasher movie and skipping the scary parts.

[thevoiceofreason]

68. I thought you had to have 10,000 posts to get the ignore function. Damn!

[americanstranger]

69. Yo.

Free speech for everyone, even if I don't agree with 'em.

- as

[Withywindle]

71. No one on ignore.

Never used that function that I can remember and I've been here since '04.

I try to practice the "count to 10" thing. And then most of the time I just ignore whatever set me off the old-fashioned way.


(Obama supporter, but if Hillary's the nominee, I'll vote for her. :hi:)

[wileedog]

73. What fun is ignore?

[Asgaya Dihi]

76. A couple of days maybe

I've had two or maybe three people on for a few days when they really go over the top, spamming the same super long lists to multiple threads making it difficult or annoying to read the rest of the thread, but never for more than days and I'd doubt ever two at a time. I'd doubt more than three ever.

None now, or most of the time.

[Perry Logan]

77. I'm too curious to put anyone on ignore.

Even people I love to bicker with sometimes say interesting things.

[tekisui]

78. I have no Ignore List.

Never have. I can't do it.

[yodermon]

79. Not a single soul on Ignore; Hillbots are the height of hilarity to me!

Please keep it up!

[bonito]

80. Great post

Sometimes it's that what we find most offensive we tend to cast away but in the end it's only a part of ourselves that we cannot come to acknowledge, the ignore list holds a key to wholeness.

[Pawel K]

81. no ignores on my list.

[Hissyspit]

I've never put anyone on ignore, ruggerson. Until now.

:evilgrin:

[Hissyspit]

126. (Oh... Just kidding, by the way.)

[ileus]

82. not one single person, be kind of dumb if I did.

I'm not that thin skinned.

[Tresalisa]

83. No ignore list, no animosity whatsoever to any of my fellow DUers!

:hi: :bounce: :woohoo: :bounce: :applause: :yourock: :toast: :grouphug: :kick:

[yardwork]

85. ok so I took the one poster off ignore so I could post here!

But I did add somebody to my buddy list because I was blown away by his post - totally amazing post in GD-P - made reading here all these months worth it.

[ruggerson]

86. Glad to have you aboard yw!

[yardwork]

91. I'm just relieved that you don't have me on ignore!

:pals:

[TroubleMan]

88. Never used the ignore function and never will.

Although until the primaries are over, I'm not looking at gdp at all.

[flowomo]

89. I object to the "ignore" AND the "LIS -- Two Minute Hate" cults...

so I'll join your post

[HuffleClaw]

90. do i count? i don't have 'no one' on my ignore list

but i DO have 'nobody' on my ignore list

[tammywammy]

92. I only had some jackass named ruggerson on my ignore list

What a jerk, but I decided to give him a second chance.


:)



Oh and :sarcasm: for those that miss it. I've never put anyone on ignore. :)

[ruggerson]

103. I had him on mine too

but then I realized he was right about absolutely everything. B-)

[tammywammy]

104. Oh look, we have something in common then

:)

[ruggerson]

106. lol

:hug:

[RichardRay]

94. I no longer use the ignore list, but I may be abusing the Hide Thread link

I was using Ignore for awhile, but I emptied the list each Sunday evening. Now I've adopted the practice of reading each new post and making a snap decison on first inspection as to whether it is ever likely to amount to anything more than another food fight. If it has promise it stays, otherwise it gets hidden right away. As a result I have a relatively manageable number of posts to follow, I don't peremptorily discount anyone’s opinion and I have more time to devote to the conversations that have promise.

My concern is with the load the Hide Thread function was designed to carry. At this point I must have several hundred threads hidden in there and I add dozens more each day (each hour?). There has to be some processing load on the board software as it decides what to display to me and what not to. If the level of discourse around here continues to improve it may not be an issue; if it stays the way it has been I could have beaucoup threads in there in the next six weeks!

Anybody know how the software might react to that? I posted a question to [e-mail] but haven’t heard back from them.

[fadedrose]

95. I have nobody on "ignore" and hope nobody has me on theirs... nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

96. I can never ignore an avatar as cute as yours.

:toast:

[fadedrose]

98. Awwww shucks....... ;)

[Yes We Did]

97. I dumped my list a couple days ago.

It's really simple... it's called self control.

[whatchamacallit]

99. I'm ignore free

:hi:

[Blue-Jay]

100. Only one, but it was forced upon me.

(not like that old piece of crap ever posted anything worth reading anyhow)

[TheDeathadder]

101. I have no one on ignore, I never will

I can handle debate and the views of others

though I am on a bunch of people's Ignore List...though I only deserved it like 1/3rd of the time :)

[donheld]

102. I have several on ignore

and choose to invade this thread.

[IndependentDem]

105. Using ignore is bad, only bad people use ignore, so don't use ignore. mmkay.

[cbayer]

107. No one

right now.

I use it from time to time, then I wonder whether I may have mis-judged the person and take them off.

Sometimes I use it to keep myself from responding in a hostile way.

But no one, right now.

[Madam Mossfern]

108. Sigh.......

I have someone on my ignore list, but I don't remember who. I know they posted something that got me really annoyed and I decided to 'teach them a lesson'. I guess I can take them off as I haven't seen any posts that say "ignored" on them since I did that. I must have been in a really bad mood. Usually I just ignore posts that offend me.

on edit: I took him/her off, but I did notice that they had disabled their profile feature.....

[Armstead]

113. I only have myself on my ignore list

[ruggerson]

136. I tried that once

[RiverStone]

114. No ignore list here

I just do it the old fashioned way.

I remember.

[Lilith Velkor]

115. Hell no I don't

:popcorn:

[cherokeeprogressive]

116. I feel as free as a NAKED INDIAN BOY, RUNNING THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE NAKED! n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

117. I don't ignore anyone

But I know I'm ignored, and I don't play the victim card.

[Breeze54]

118. How would you know if I have people on ignore or not?

Or are you just trying to find out who's ignore list you belong to?

Clever. Why are you so insecure? Got something to worry about?

[ulysses]

119. I had someone on ignore once.

Drove me crazy to not know what the little SOB was saying. :D

[guruoo]

120. New mass ignore plugin for Firefox....

iCoward

[thevoiceofreason]

121. I sure as hell hope you aren't leaving us too!

[ruggerson]

123. I'm not going anywhere

I never travel during lent.

[2rth2pwr]

122. Why the fuck put anybody on ignore?

If people can't take shit, stay off the goddamned internet.

[DeepModem Mom]

124. I ignore nobody, and wish we could get along. nt

[alphafemale]

125. I don't see the point of the ignore feature.

I don't think I've ever used it.

Sure I've gotten annoyed by people who have differing opinions who seem to harp on them in thread after thread.

But not enough to use the "Ignore" feature.

[Awsi Dooger]

127. I don't know how to put someone on ignore

Not on this website or any other.

In that regard, isn't the time allotment or second guessing ever a consideration? I read posts about emptying ignore lists, or criteria for ignore. Hell, the laughable aspect is knowing exactly how many DUers you have on ignore. What, is there a meter, like views of an eBay auction? Perhaps there is. But seems to me it's exponentially more simple to ignore the possibility of ignore. I always prioritize value and ease of mind. A subjective variable like ignore doesn't threaten to qualify.

On sports sites I post on, the debate is year long, vicious and insulting. Almost no one supports the same team I do. Yet the word ignore is used so seldom I'd hate to identify the last time the subject came up.

It screams as a parody to me. Daily multiple threads in the Lounge, petrified of entry into GDP. Then so many ignore based threads in this forum I can skip over them, like the copycat threads in the Lounge.

It reminds me of the silly paranoia in Election Reform. There are dozens of regular posters there who condemn any result other than a landslide in favor of the most progressive candidate as proof of massive fraud. Anyone who doesn't fit is taunted with ignore. That's been going on for years.

[Two Americas]

128. never have, never will

There is something weird about the concept of putting people on ignore. There is too much great stuff posted here and great posters to keep up with. Who has time to worry about whom to ignore? Ignoring people - well, if they are not saying anything interesting, why not just not read their posts? Putting them on an ignore list seems to me to be self-contradictory. Obviously what the ignored person is saying must be interesting enough to the ignorer if they bother putting them on ignore.

Is it a fear of hearing contrary opinions? What does that say about a person's convictions and sense of confidence in themselves?

Seems to me it is a petty little thing that serves as an emotional outlet for those who have a hankering to silence opposition and suppress freedom of speech.

[Spirochete]

129. I've never used the ignore list

I sort of forgot there even was one, till the campaign season started and everyone began pulling it on each other like switchblades.

[McCamy Taylor]

130. I never ignore anyone. How can we learn if we refuse to listen. I support the Dem nominee

whoever it will be.

[CreekDog]

131. nobody on my ignore list, but i understand why some do

:hi:

[Jim Lane]

132. Who knows through what door wisdom will walk?

Even someone who's been generally unhelpful and uninformative might, tomorrow, post something worthwhile. I've preferred to save time through skimming rather than ignoring.

If I were to start using the ignore list, I don't know who'd have more spots on it -- those of the Clinton supporters who infuriate me, or those of my fellow Obama supporters who embarrass me.

On edit: I forgot to credit my subject line -- it's by Gore Vidal, from his novel ''Julian''.

[More Than A Feeling]

133. Technically, I have lots, but only the "block private message feature"

I took everyone off otherwise, but this way I can quickly put them all back on should it be necessary. But for all practical purposes, I'm not ignoring anyone.

[LiveLiberally]

134. No one on ignore... What's the point of joining a discussion forum...

if what you really want is a personal clique comprised of only those who agree with you?

[dkf]

135. My ignore list is blankety blank!

What is the point of posting on a board if you can't see half the posts?

[bonito]

137. Just took the only one off my list

What the hell, live and learn.
