Ignore List.

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.

Do you exclude yourself from these people in you're 'real world' (What ever that is?) and if so is it because of your echo chamber that you cant function without?
Just asking for a friend :unsure:

I’ve got no one on my ignore list. I’m happy to passionately discuss important issues without shielding myself from views I find ridiculous or even abhorrent. It also doesn’t really cloud my view of the person in general away from their beliefs, unless it’s something which clearly defines them as a person - that’s something I think brexit highlighted for me in that some people are truly incredibly selfish and care about them and their own only with no compassion for other people. But I’ll still interact with those people. I’d still play golf with them. I don’t need to pretend their views don’t exist.

I certainly agree with the part in Bold. So many decided to ignore a democratic vote and pursue their personal beliefs because they felt they knew better.

Cheers. Just done that and it said "ignoring" but when I clicked on it it said "You are not currently ignoring any members". Maybe the couple of people I was wondering about are on a Fragger holiday after all.

Was thinking exactly the same.
Just checked and confirmed that I'm not accidentally ignoring anybody.
How long is he 'on holiday' for?

What has that got to do with a GM forum debate?

Surely its like being in a clubhouse or a pub, you can politely acknowledge someone but don't have to interact you can elect to sit elsewhere or in different company. If you simply ignore someone you are more likely thought to be an ignorant so and so.
 
I don't have anyone on Ignore as I want to know if I've really upset anyone as I really don't intend to. I might well (and do regularly) post stuff that others strongly disagree with - or think is stupid or ill-informed - and so I accept that i can certainly irritate - but I don't post with intent to upset. I need to know when I do :)

Unless of course in real life you could actually tell the person what you really think of them face to face and why you choose to ignore them, on here you can’t, so to save a ban etc, imo, it’s best to completely ignore and not even read what some say, and for it to go both ways.

Happy to debate with anyone, but I’d rather I was ignored than get the the one “smart a55” comment from some who then won’t debate or believe answer any follow on questions.

I prefer to treat people on here as I would if I met them, not hide behind the keyboard.

You have answered your own point, some people dont do " politely acknowledge" on this site. Hence why Infractions are given out.
 
I've had/have a small few on ignore, should add another one or two actually.

All of them have one thing in common. They cant discuss football for what it is and try and score cheap points by bringing football disasters into it, like Heysel or Hillsborough. I think it says more about the keyboard warrior/coward/troll than it does about me when they are happy to use the deaths of over 130 people as cheap bait. If they were dealt with properly I could deal with it, but normally ends up with me getting an infraction or warning, as I react. Some of it is truly disgusting.

Other than that have never put anyone on ignore for any other reason.(y)
 
When I go to mexico to work on me Tash, am coming off the forum for 2 weeks and letting Bezerk and paul speak for me.
 
I chose the ignore button on one person as they contributed nothing (IMO) and just spouted twaddle. I come on here for constructive chat and banter. I'm happy to listen to various sides but when somebody basically uses this forum as a sounding board for their own prejudices and doesn't listen or chooses to ignore the actual facts presented to them as it doesn't suit there view on life, then I just decided that seeing their posts spoiled my enjoyment so I put them on ignore. Now that's my choice and is something I did as a last resort but the Ignore button is there for a reason and if people want to use it, or not, that's their choice as well. It doesn't make them better or worse people.
Of course, there are some on here who, I believe, like to be contrary just for the sake of it. That's fine, I don't have an issue with that. I just sometimes wish they read the entire post before responding, or not use one line totally out of context.
