Well from joining it took me quite a few months to learn how to do an avatar (and even then it was more by luck than judgement that I managed to - I'm not too bright on such stuff. ), so just think of all that wit and wisdom you missed because you had me on ignore? But it isn't too late - you can always scroll back to my first post??
None at all because when the day comes my brain and common sense can't filter out rubbish I will abandon forums forever.
I agree, and I have about 5 of them on ignore. Like you, I'm here to discuss issues, and I have had memorable and satisfying discussions and debates with other posters. A lot of people disagree with me. There would be nothing to discuss if we all agreed with each other. But I do not expect to be hated for my opinions. The ones on my ignore list are the ones who seem to troll my posts and respond with either one of two types of replies: one is a personal insult, usually involving cuss words; or if I don't respond it becomes a persistent in-your-face kind of immature taunting and foolishness.
I will admit most of the few people I have on ignore tend to be long-winded, making scrolling past them take longer.
