Ok then

[sniffa]

another 800 names to the ignore list coming up.

[TechBear_Seattle]

1. I try not to use an ignore list because...

Some people need and deserved to be slapped down. If I put all such people on my ignore list, who would slap them down?

[sniffa]

2. I'm done.

It's a new phase of the i-list. I just open a particular thread and *pow* another 6 are added.

[Vanje]

30. When I 'm done, you'll know

Now watch this drive!

[Zuiderelle]

5. I use a buddy list, just so I don't get surprised when I see some assholish comment...

and can respond accordingly. :)

[Vanje]

31. Also

people can call you "CHOAD", and you wont know

[racaulk]

3. I have always tried to use my ignore list very sparingly.

But it has been growing by leaps and bounds lately.

[sniffa]

4. I have to use a spreadsheet if I want to count how many

[babylonsister]

6. LOL!

:hide: Can you see me?

[Creideiki]

22. Unfortunately

Maybe you could petition the admins for a Hatred forum or maybe an Obama Is So Dreamy forum. I guarantee I wouldn't be going into those, so you could have your little hatefests.

[Vanje]

33. I see you

back there, behind them rocks

[Zuiderelle]

39. You're on my buddy list.

;)

[Vanje]

40. Thats sweet

Everybody needs a buddy!

[LostinVA]

7. So do I -- literally

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. You do know I would rather be tombstoned than make your ignore list.

I've stopped looking at mine. For the longest time I did everything I could not to put anyone on ignore. Then I decided life was too short to wade through idiots at DU.

[LostinVA]

17. I wonder what "Ignore" says

:eyes:

I have over 600 people on Ignore. Or so Haruka says -- she ran my list through Excel.

[Ioo]

19. Am I on your list? (See if you comment on this)

:)

[Starry Messenger]

8. Mine is biblical in scope--

long lists of names and littered with the dead. :)

[sniffa]

9. One time I put it into a spreadsheet and it was over 800

I pared it down at one point but I'm sure it's back up and beyond that number now.

[Starry Messenger]

10. I don't know how to use spread sheets, but when I have to scroll through it...

it takes me about 10 minutes of just scrolling. I've been really kind of embarrassed about it. I'm glad I'm not the only one. :blush:

[KitchenWitch]

11. so do you have formulas and everything?

[AntiFascist]

25. Can you give us a pie chart? n/t

[Marrah_G]

28. OMG me too

:rofl:

I thought I was the only one who did that.

[LostinVA]

32. Haruka does it with my list sometimes to amuse herself

[MNBrewer]

12. My ignore list is blank

but I must admit, i've been sorely tempted as of late.

[ronnykmarshall]

13. Why?

What happened?

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. I am morbidly curious too.

[donco6]

16. I don't do it lightly.

But I've added two this week. One is already gone.

I occasionally go through the list - it's amazing how many are TS'd in the meantime.

[MNBrewer]

18. maybe it would be a nice feature for DU to automatically delete TS'd users

[meegbear]

20. I have only one ...

the same one I've had for well over a year. Sometimes it's not worth it trying to keep up with 'em.

[SacredCow]

21. I don't have any....

I don't like holes in the threads.

[Yes We Did]

23. Don't Bother...

They're going to be offering Name Amnesty after the inauguration.

[ThomCat]

24. I'm tempted to start ignoring a lot of people.

:(

But once you start, where do you stop?

When they are people who have been here forever and clearly aren't going to get tombstoned no matter how obviously they troll then I'm really, really tempted to ignore them and all their friends. But obviously the mods and admins don't see them as trolls or bigots, so if we don't keep an eye on them who will?

[sniffa]

26. The plonks are piling up today

:woohoo:

[Marrah_G]

27. I took two people off ignore and it has been a mistake

I may well get TS'd for it.

This situation has brought a spot light onto a the large number of Duers who were only mouthing PC speech in regards to equality. They only sort of believe in it.

[donco6]

29. I saw that reference.

But I liked your comments.

[Vanje]

34. Ohhh

You're responses to...your...eh...adversaries makes me laugh so much, I sometimes hurt myself.
My abs are like steel belts!

[Vanje]

35. I only have 2 on ignore

and not because I disagree. Hell! I cant disagree because I have no idea what in-the-name-of-all-that-is-holey, these persons are talking about.Ever!

They are like random nonsense generators.

[jonnyblitz]

36. A GLBT or ally Duer, Neshanic, just got tombstoned.

I am not too familiar with this DUer, and not even sure if he was a he or a she or even gay but he/she was just tombstoned. He/She started a thread that was pretty scathing of Obama and some of his supporters. i left his/her thread up on my laptop screen to reply to later on but when i returned, responded and hit reply I got the "missing topic" message and when I checked Neshanic's profile there was the tombstone, so BE CAREFUL in your criticisms of Obama and his hardcore supporters (not you personally, SNiffa, but anybody reading this). :scared:

[tekisui]

37. I am surprised they lasted this long.

They were always contentious and suspicious, to me.

[jonnyblitz]

38. i never paid much attention to that one so maybe there is some

history i am unaware of and that final post was the icing on the cake.

[Vanje]

42. If being contentious and suspicious, automatically earns everyone granite,.... .

DU would be rapidly depopulated.

[tekisui]

43. True.

But, I had this one on my 'buddy list' for some time. Sometimes you can tell.

[Vanje]

46. I know the feeling

I call it my "trolldar"

[mtnester]

41. I saw that flameout coming this morning

my afternoon check in confirms what I thought was going to happen to that poster

[Lyric]

44. According to a mod post by wakemeupwhenitsover

Neshanic *asked* to be tombstoned. It's not a case of being "kicked out," so much as a case of leaving in utter disgust.

The people calling it a flame-out are wrong.

[jonnyblitz]

45. thanks for the info! when i posted a response to Neshanic's

thread and got "missing topic" THEN i saw the tombstone in the profile,well...you know.:hi:

[Lyric]

48. Oh yeah, I know.

The mod post is here, though, just for info's sake:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8104211#8107998

[mtnester]

51. I guess what I should have said was I saw how angry that poster was

furious..and it was obvious, one way or another, they were going to go.

I am glad they went on their own terms.

[Vanje]

47. Is that 3 , 4, or 5 for the day? nt

[sui generis]

49. I quite frankly don't care.

I wouldn't go so far as to judge Obama based on one incident of stupidity and insensitivity, but I won't hold my tongue either on the nature and hue of the tarnish I think it adds to his character.

He's young & stupid, socially speaking. He'll either learn, or we'll learn, but some learnin' gonna happen, and if that's a flame out, then please put pineapple on my tombstone, hold the onions, they make me fart. Loudly, and with great gusto.

Just sayin'

[sniffa]

50. Damn, I actually made GDP slow down

:rofl:
