Anybody who would ignore anybody else, on a forum, is an asshole.
I don't care what that person was saying. If they were saying something really bad and against the site rules, then they will get banned.
But to ignore someone, because you can't deal with them, is a sign of a weak personality. And you should stick to facebook in that case.
I'm telling you the truth. I'll deal with any of you, on my own. I don't need to ignore you if I don't agree with you. That's the problem with people these days. Social anxieties based on dealing with people on social media only. They don't know how to deal with people in real life... And not that this is real life, but it is more real than social media. So if you have to ignore someone on a forum, I wonder what you need to do in real life with someone who disagrees with you.
You need to grow a pair... We're all full of shit. You need to deal with it...
