The new ignore feature
allows you to make bold face lies about other DU'ers and then block them from responding.

and if you start a post pointing that out -- it will get deleted.

Don't ask for a reference, if I link to it I'm sure this post will be deleted too.

(g)randious (a)sshole.

It's about a more recent poster, who ALREADY had put me on block, and then whined that they couldn't post in one of my threads, and said they were putting me on counter-block -- calling me closed-minded that I was blocking them at the same time.

Actually, I have now made a large block list. As soon as this feature was implimented, I was blocked from participating in a bunch of threads. When someone is blocked, you have no idea that they can't participate, but when you are blocked, you get to live in their shoes and as another DU'er put it "are silenced". I loothe the new feature, so I am using it extensively to hopefully lesson support for something that only a few (very vocal) DU'ers were demanding.

And to anyone blocked by me. You can still PM me and we can talk. I have taken a few folks off my list.

4. I agree.
It's already happened to me. I wasn't deleted, but lies were told.

8. i am sure some people use it this way and that sucks.
but i use it to avoid unnecessary stupidity. i dont think battling on the internet has anything to do with real courage. and i could do without the aggravation.
