Ignore List.

People don’t put folk on ignore for no good reason.
My view is that if you are on an ignore list, you need to take a look at yourself and maybe alter your posting style.

The problem is that you don’t know that you are on an ignore list,

Oh well, I’ll just keep knocking heads together ?

Yea but really that’s utter nonsense. It’s people not getting how the real world works and don’t like being challenged on their beliefs. As I said earlier, it’s all about the echo chamber that some people can’t function without.

What Fragger said was not UTTER nonsense. You using that word is a bit of an overreaction tho. I could understand if you had said 'I don't agree with all that you have just posted' or 'This is not always the case'(or similar) but to use the word UTTER is totally over the top and without context and without applying to only certain situations, is just plain wrong.

I like to apply a filter to my fingers before typing, just as I would in the real world.

Anyway have a good day:)

Don’t be thinking you wouldn’t be on an ignore list if you or some others weren’t Mod’s ;)

Put me on your ignore list if you’re struggling, cha.
 
Put one person on ignore, then ended up replying to someone not realising he was replying to that person(as the last post I could see was mine and his), so learnt from it.

I'd argue that people are not on my ignore list just because they have different views and that no filtering is all very Jonathan Pie. There are plenty of people I don't ignore that have different views to me on many things, in fact a majority of posters do on some subjects and I genuinely have learnt, and at times understood why people with different views to mine have their views. It's that the odd one or two are just tedious and are not so much challenging my beliefs as boring me senseless and are the type of people I'd run a mile to avoid in real life. So I take the opportunity to avoid them in the virtual world. I am sure the vast majority of people would be fine to have a round with once you meet them, but at the same time I am sure there are one or two people who I'd cross the course to avoid, some truly tedious people do play golf as well. And I'm sure some feel the same way about me which is fair enough.

I find it equally as sad when I see grown adults point scoring and bickering like 9 year olds post after post mostly trying to score points and have the last word, as some may find it when people put others on ignore. I'm sure I have fallen down that rabbit hole myself at times where as now I just put them on ignore as to not get drawn in.

People in the real world seem more capable of discussing strong views without having a hissy fit when they’re questioned.

I will respectively withdrew, as it doesn't seem to possible to have a grown up discussion unless someone agrees with you. Totally over the top comments, hissy fit, strong view, that are there to wind up/troll.

And do not wish to be drawn into such tit for tat.

So you disagree and now take the moral high ground. That’s another one on the list then.

Personally I think that if someone got upset by another user saying they were talking 'utter nonsense' then an internet forum isn't for them. That's a pretty mild comment in the grand scheme of things. If you're someone who likes to debate a variety of topics then that should be water off a duck's back, because there will always be someone who disagrees with you. And I also hate when people are overly polite. Like when football managers say things like "No disrespect to.. whoever" - just say what you mean, this culture of qualifying phrases to protect people's feelings is annoying to me.
