Some of the ignored content and it really did nothing but reaffirm my decision to ignore some posters on this forum. They add nothing to any conversation.
Do not miss the nonsense.

You don't actually have to put them on ignore. I just don't respond to certain posters but leave the option in case they have a miraculous change and post something of value.
I agree there isn't any value to their posts. I just think ignore is for snowflakes.
You could just pull a SadButTrue and report them and get them banned.
Quality option.
Never had a handle. First and only there, Sad.What was your handle before you were last banned? Blondee-15?
Reported
Bet you can't say the same though.
You do as you wish...but I've never ever put a user on ignore on any message board. No matter how much I disagree with them, believe them to be intellectually deficient in their reasoning, or a Flavor Aid drinking zealot who allows ideology to cloud their opinion. I do want to read/hear what they have to say because at times they do get things correct or I find a nugget of wisdom in their beliefs that lead to a change in mine.
To totally dismiss or ignore does a disservice to Free thinking and civil discourse. But to each is Own.

My experience on this site has improved dramatically since ignoring a few posters. I'm all for discourse and differing opinion, but that can be done in a civil manner. I don't ignore Duck, I just ignore a few of his less courteous alter egos.
With Duck it is his belief system or nothing, and he is not open to discussion. However I don't ignore him and I find myself reading what he post. I try to be open to others ideas, I don't have all the answers. I don't think anybody does.
I don't have Duck on ignore and am completely open to reasonable discourse. I ignored someone who offers nothing but trolling and someone who is so uninformed there's no point reading his posts anymore.
Basically I ignored people who add nothing substantive to the conversation.
Someone else said it perfectly, Duck isn't here for discourse, he's here to get his way and live in an echo chamber. If you don't agree with him 100% he puts you on ignore like a toddler.
Not because you're rude.
Not because you insult him.
Not because you cuss or carry on.
Not because you're being a troll.
Simply because you disagree with him.
