A big thank you to Skinner and the DU mods for DU and the

[Skidmore]

ignore features. They are preserving my sanity on more than one level now.

There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more..."

1. Do you really use 'ignore'?

I don't want to miss anything, no matter the source.

Of course, I am probably on plenty of DUers' ignore lists.

Welcome to DU

5. I don't use ignor, either. I rarely use alert. But I'm glad both are

available.

7. Sometimes, a person just needs a break though.

8. I had to check my options to see if I had anyone

on my ignore list and apparently I do not... Not that I haven't gotten a little angry and hit it on a few from time to time, only to come back and reverse what I had done.

[Skidmore]

9. That's what I do too.

14. I'm guessing we all do that, and then we have those who are so incensed

that they announce, they are leaving. :eyes: Maybe they don't know about the ignore feature? :shrug: I can't imagine anyone caring if I left DU, while announcing to do so? :rofl:

15. I'm sure you've heard, anger voiced is anger defused

I think that is the use for the ignore button. It worked for me one time, I shortly reversed it though, wasn't mad anymore.

[JuniperLea]

16. Haha! I do that all the time!

Live and learn from fools and from sages:)

Several on my ignore list have left for one reason or another anyway *cough-tombstone-cough*.

It's currently clear... I'm into hiding entire threads now:)

[Taxloss]

10. Seconded.

Maybe I'm alone, but I was impressed by the mods' impartiality during this most partisan of fortnights.

[demnan]

11. I don't mind if people ignore me

I just wish they wouldn't write back and post that they will, that kind of skews the purpose of ignore, in my opinion. But that's just my take.

[applegrove]

12. Yes. Thanks for making this place flow...no matter what the mood is.

Skinner and the mods do a great job.
