BLM protests/ Riots.

If you’re suggesting I have you on ignore, you are very much incorrect.

I also have no idea why you would think that.

I am liking having an increasing number of people on ignore. I often play the game of imagining what they have said to generate some of the replies I do see. Seeing one side of what is obviously a bit of a ding dong between 2 posters is tremendous fun

But even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

I have 1 person on ignore as I believe he’s a troll who pops in and out to cause trouble, as for everyone else, if I think nothing of what they say, I’ll scroll past.

Yes, I can guess which side

I would never put a poster on ignore. It is a public discussion forum and everyone can contribute, It is not mandated the you read all posts.

Relax, the words may offend, annoy, frustrate or amuse you but they will not hurt you.

Agree entirely. I don't want this forum to be an echo chamber of my own beliefs. I like that there are people who do absolutely nothing but post twitter links to various Right Wing opinions. I find it challenging to read other opinions and use them to pressure test my own.

Being challenged is good. I have found some of my best and long lasting friends are those with whom I have had the strongest arguments (including physical).

Damn. You're making me feel really uncomfortable now as I'm about to agree with you again... I love having friends who take a different viewpoint. Nothing better than a few drinks and a good ding dong about whatever is interesting right now. I can think of nothing worse than being surrounded by nodding dogs who just egg each other on to wilder and wilder viewpoints.

I kind of agree but on the other hand I'd rather put someone on ignore if all you ever get is arguments and someone always wanting to have the last word. It is tedious to be involved in and also tedious to have to read through. Also purely on a personal level it makes the forum more enjoyable for me as I don't get wound up so much if I don't see some people's posts. I see it as if I would have absolutely no compulsion to talk to someone in real life as they just would bore me senseless, then why should I in pretend life on the internet. Life's too short to me. More than happy to listen to alternative viewpoints, not that bothered about seeing what I see at times as deliberate trolling.

I don't like doing it but its an option on the site for a reason. Sometimes you can find theres a poster who is constantly looking to denigrate your posts to a level you either try to ignore it, keep reporting or you get dragged into arguements such that they end up in warnings from the Mods. In this case I've found it better to use the function and try to keep things at arms length. I only have one person on ignore and as a last resort which is a shame.
Anyhow, this is detracting from tne subject matter.

A “Phisical argument”
That’s a fight isn’t it.

Only if the Ref wasn't looking

I have 3 people on ignore. None because their opinions differ to mine.

We would never be friends.

Doesn't make the place an echo chamber.

But works great for me

 

[clubchamp98]

I don't think they are going to repair it. It'll be put on display in a museum that will tell the story of Colston, slavery, Bristol, up to and including what happened to the statue and why. Fixing it and removing the graffiti would be erasing our history, wouldn't it?

Yes it would !
It’s a lesson that needs to be learnt.
But how many are going to be damaged like this.?
As it’s costing the councils money to try and protect them.

Can we move away from “who we have on ignore” and back to the thread title please ?

who said that?

 

[Robster59]

Surely ignoring the problem has got us all to where we are now!

So now Swing Low is in the firing line.

That makes 4

Can we start a separate thread for that or would that be frowned upon?
