What happens to your ignore list after the convention

[matt819]

Here's a question. Once we have s nominee, what do you plan to do with your ignore list?

I think I'll leave it unchanged, maybe even add to it. What about you? Let bygones be bygones and welcome the ignored back into your DU experience?

[arcane1]

1. Still plenty of attention-starved trolls with zero credibility.

I won't miss them.

[rug]

2. My ignore list is like underwear.

I only use it to hide assholes.

Rarely has anything to do with politics.

[Fairgo]

33. Made me snicker

good on ya.

[Hortensis]

38. I let assholes hang out fully exposed so

I'm up with what's going on with threads. Ignore a lot of actual posts by names I recognize, though, since so many threads and posts are intensely repetitive.

So, after the nominee is called no change except to try to figure out how much change the new rules might have meant, or not. I'll have trouble remembering who was here before who might be gone, but probably people will chat about it.

36. ROFL

[FLPanhandle]

3. Since I have an ignore list of zero, I guess nothing

I ignore the old fashioned way.

[1StrongBlackMan]

9. Yep ...

By putting people on ignore, you miss most of the entertainment!

I DO, however, have DU:GD trashed, along with a Democrats Group, though.

[FLPanhandle]

19. I don't wander into DU:GDP either

It's like the cafeteria food fight in Animal House!

[Egnever]

15. Old school

I like it

[bigwillq]

4. Mine stays the same.

I have very few on ignore, and I have not added any this primary cycle.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. I ignore nobody

when I do, they get worst

[MuseRider]

6. I have only ignored the people

who were petty, mean, snotty (oh yes the snotty ones went fast) and those who consistently made up crap and slung it widely and often. Those people, even though I had respected many of them before, are gone forever. They were not who I thought they were. That behavior does not fly with me IRL and I will not tolerate the childishness that goes along with it here, if I am still here.

I do have a few still who were good friends, I just do not read what they write because those are friendships that go beyond all of this.

When you cannot discuss issues because of petty disruptions then there is no reason to think those disruptions and petty behaviors will change. I would rather come here and be able to move beyond the feces throwing.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Well said.

(I hope you can see this)

[MuseRider]

14. LOL of course I can see you!

I have been seeing you long time!

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. !

you're one of the reasons I keep coming back.

[MuseRider]

26. It has been

a long time! You are too kind but I have to say, it is the same for me with you. When I see you I read you. I may not always comment but I do read you and you are one of the good one's. How we have both managed to stay here this long is beyond me Long breaks I guess!

[longship]

7. I have nobody on ignore.

I am not afraid of disagreement. And yup! There are some assholes here on DU. I don't need technology to ignore it. I'll take my DU unfiltered.

My best to you.

[malaise]

37. Same here

but I stay away from GD-P

[longship]

39. I mostly avoid GD.P.

Sometimes there is some good stuff there. Lots of chaff to get to the wheat, though. Mostly infantile behavior, if you ask me. How anybody could rationally think that such a thing is helpful is beyond me.

GD.P is mostly a toxic waste dump occupied by immature brats. But there is still a little bit of sanity there. Don't get me started about the candidate groups which have no benefit here whatsoever. Safe havens? Safe from what? Reason, I suspect.

[Dont call me Shirley]

8. Stays as is, don't have many on ignore anyway.

[TexasProgresive]

10. I trashed the candidate forums and GD-P

Not individuals. Once the convention happens it won't make much difference if I untrash them. One thing that will be noticeable is when I go to the Latest page there won't be all that blank space at the bottom.

[NCTraveler]

11. I currently have no one one ignore. Nt

[Smarmie Doofus]

13. Don't have one. ( Is that weird?)

If I want to ignore someone I'm pretty capable of ignoring them whether they are on a "list" or not.

[Bjornsdotter]

16. I had one person on my list

...and recently they have FFR. I now have zero, however I have been flirting with idea of adding two to the ignore list.

[Agnosticsherbet]

17. I have nobody in my ignore list. I will leave it unchanged.

If I want to ignore people, I don't answer them or click on their posts.

I suspect I am on several.
That is their choice.

[Nye Bevan]

22. I believe that nobody has me on ignore.

If I am wrong, please reply to this post and let me know.

[Agnosticsherbet]

23. LOL

[madinmaryland]

18. The gun nutters will stay on ignore. Don't really have anyone else on ignore, and even at that

it's only about six.

[Nye Bevan]

20. Never put anyone on ignore and never will.

I like to see what everyone has to say, even those I tend to disagree with.

[Lizzie Poppet]

24. No change after the convention...might pull a few off after the GE.

My pre-2016-primary Ignore list: 5
Now: c. 250

[Skittles]

25. they will stay right where they are

I *DETEST* swooners

[MuseRider]

27. I am glad I can see you!

Not a swooner but you never know these days, it is so tense.

I used my ignore list for the first time seriously. Most of it was because I did not like who I became when I read the crap. Saved my ass I am sure from a few good kickings!

[Skittles]

28. anyone who is 100% behind ANY politician is a fucking IDIOT!

yes INDEED!

[MuseRider]

29. Agreed!

I have a few issues with Bernie but he is the closest I have ever come to having a solid feeling of support. I hope he will address the problems I have with him as he goes along. Thankfully there will be no posts of Bernie shirtless filled with oooing and awwwwing.

[Iggo]

30. Sense.

[KeepItReal]

31. What ignore list?

As Sweet Brown would say, "Ain't nobody got time for dat!"

[herding cats]

32. I don't use ignore much.

I don't think I have anyone on it ATM. Sometimes I put someone on it if they're having a bad moment, but that's just to help clear the clutter.

I live in hostile territory for a Democrat. There's not much here I can't wade through, and not come out fine on the other side.

Which doesn't mean I enjoy seeing snipes from people I consider friends, but our friendship is more than the things we disagree on. We're still more alike than different. I get that. It's why we clicked in the first pace after all.

[ileus]

34. I don't have one...

[Old Codger]

35. If they follow the past

They have offered to allow anyone who desires to change their handles after the primary is over, if that happens again then the old ignore list is useless

[Chan790]

40. Those people are dead to me forever.

Note however that none of them are there because of the primary...they're like my own personal list of people the world is better off without.

[Iggo]

41. It'll continue to slowly grow, primary or no.

[Adrahil]

42. Nothing. I don't ignore anyone.

I'm a big boy. I can deal with people I disagree with.

[phylny]

43. The five people I have on ignore will stay on ignore.

I don't ignore people who disagree with me; I ignore people who are hostile, rude, or belligerent. In general, those qualities stay with a person, no matter when in the election cycle.

[Iggo]

44. Exactly.

They're not there because I disagree with them. I'm around people all day who I disagree with on any given subject. The people on my ignore list are people who I don't want to be around.

[hobbit709]

45. I don't use it.

[madokie]

46. At some point I'll have to reassess

otherwise they'll only be me and a handful of others left

But right now I'm not here to read bullshit from anyone about anything. I want news and news only.
