I think it's more like censorship.I like the ignore feature and I use it often.
It's a like a vacuum cleaner.....cleaning up all the rubbish on the rugs.
How is it censorship?I think it's more like censorship.
Completely silencing someone because you don't like what they say is essentially the same as censorship....it's weak and lazy.How is it censorship?
The only people here who indulge in censorship are the mods.
They aren't silenced. The person is just selecting to not read their stuff.Completely silencing someone because you don't like what they say is essentially the same as censorship....it's weak and lazy.
How can I tell if I have anyone on ignore? I don't think I've ever done that. Is it possible to know if I'm on others' "Ignore"? I don't mean to brag but I've really pissed off some posters here by posting FACTS to refute their less-than-truths.It's my guess that so many people have so many other people on ignore that it has slowed the board down too much.
I say we at least clear it off and start over or just do away with it. People need to learn how to talk out their differences .

The main reason, this forum would never get rid of the ignore feature, is because at its heart, it is all about the free market, and its competition with other social media.It's my guess that so many people have so many other people on ignore that it has slowed the board down too much.

Do you have the ability to block others in like social media? Of course you do. While libertarians and many conservatives don't like the idea of people not talking out their differences, and being able to ignore one another; many social justice types, and religious fundamentalist types, and others on the extreme political and social ends of the spectrum, just don't want to deal with folks that are outside their sociopolitical economic reality. . .
These types, would just rather pretend that other folks don't exist, than deal with a completely foreign epistemological reality. If those realities don't exist, having to negotiate with them, and confront ones own cognitive biases? Is never a problem.
There are TWO, primary reasons folks put others on ignore, first, for reasons of politeness. . . some folks are just raised different. The first primary difference, is some folks don't believe that adults who are not family or intimate friends, should ever speak to each other in anything but formal, polite, and adult language. Younger folks that have never not known a world with out the internet? Think boomers are foreigners are sticks in the mud, and old fashioned in this regard. . . so, what are you going to do?
The second primary reason that others get into heated debates and put others on ignore, is cognitive dissonance. They are faced with an epistemological reality, or an ontology, which they cannot reconcile with their KSAs. (Knowledge/Skills/Experiences) and everything they have come to know and believe. . . When you have two conflicting paradigms, your choices are slim. Change and incorporate new information into a newly constructed world view/epistemological paradigm, attack the source of knowledge with fallacies, and deny the validity of that source of new knowledge, or IGNORE IT.
They only way we, as a forum, and a community, can cater to all needs, is to do what every other social media site/forum, etc. has enabled their members to do. . .which is to just let you folks pretend, that the folks you don't want to acknowledge, even have ever been born, or exist in cyberspace, are there. Then, everyone is happy, and we can thrive and compete.
. . . I think.
I have a question for the moderators. If two members have each other on ignore can they ever undo it or will they never be able to acknowledge each other's presence here?
and some people are just asshioles.
Don't forget that.
If it helps any, I don't have a single person on ignore. I like to see what each and every poster here has to say.I was. . . sort of intimating, that those were the two primary reasons, folks decided, others were assholes. . . I thought.
Yeah, this is the guy who claims to be worth over $10M.That is correct, they start a post with some bullshit, then when they get refuted with FACTS, they instantly use name calling or emoji's. Ask them a question that is yes or no, they just wont answer but with some babbling shit, like Joe Biden does all the time, or his medusa hair fagot bitch. I always know when the binder is lying, her eyes flutter like a moth in a light.

.he-he......like personal censorship...... I'm ok with that!
Folks are too far into their ideology to have any kind of constructive debate here.It's my guess that so many people have so many other people on ignore that it has slowed the board down too much.

I don’t need a special feature to ignore someone
