I've been inspired by trolls and GD P to do an experiment...
...I've never put anyone on ignore. But I'm going to do a test. Those whom I think are trolls, I'm going to put on ignore, irregardless of whom they support. After a couple of weeks, I'm going to check my ignore list, and see who has been tombstoned. I'll be able to see if my intuitions and perceptions are right, on a percentage basis.

It's just another way to make this site fun and exciting...:D

1. A lot of people put them on their buddy list because it is easier to track.
Think of it as a troll list instead of a buddy list.

17. You'll be richer than shit in just a few days!
I wish there was some way I could benefit from it, too, but I'm happy to let you get all the goodness.

My time will come some other day.

6. My Dungeon of Ignorage is pretty full right now.
I'm guessing most are trolls, but there are a few regulars I tossed in there just because they were annoying the hell out of me. I will be prying open the oubliette cover in a bit to see who's still in there. GD-P is still a festering cesspool, but it's marginally less demented with the worst offenders locked up.
