I agree with both of you. My version of "ignore" is to use the scroll button on my mouse. If a person who I know is usually only out there to troll posts something, I will read the first sentence or two, and if it looks like they're on another trolling rant, I simply scroll past it.
One of the things I find really interesting about these threads on the ignore function is that those who brag about all the people they are ignoring are usually the same ones who call others "snowflakes" and incapable of listening to the other side, yet they brag about all the people they won't listen to. IMHO, THOSE people are the "snowflakes" who are incapable of hearing opinions that don't jibe with their own.
Besides...................there IS the rare occasion (doesn't happen often, but it does occur) where someone who I think is a habitual troll or whiner actually does come across with a cogent thought that I can use, and if they were on ignore, I would never see it.
Me? I've got a fairly thick skin (comes from serving over 20 years in the Navy, where giving each other a hard time is pretty much the norm), as well as realize that the people posting on here are pretty much people I will never meet IRL, so all they really are is a bunch of anonymous phosphor dots forming words and sentences on my computer screen with thoughts that sometimes make me laugh, sometimes shake my head, sometimes think, but are mostly entertaining when I'm bored and have some free time to burn.
