ignore button

[Buh4Bee]

Ok, this is kind of negative and I know I shouldn't be this way, but who here loves the ignore button? All I can say is, if I don't want to see it or read it...ignorance is bliss!

:wave:

[Vonny]

You just made me realize that I need to make use of that again. I had forgotten about it!

[Buh4Bee]

It's very satisfying.

[Vonny]

I was wondering, can Bee see me? :lol:

I put a couple of "items" on my list and last night was bliss! :p I don't know why I haven't been making full use of this function!

Ignoring is dangerous. It is better to know where the enemy is, what he says, and what he's doing. Always.

Hey, I see you: you acknowledged that I could be right - an act of civility if I ever saw one.

These aren't "enemies", only annoyances.

Anyway, if your house is built on rock, and theirs is built on sand, you need not pay attention to them; they will meet their undoing at some point.

Well, if they are inoffensive, just annoying, they are also stupid and a good commedy show. For freeeeee!. And what if they change. How would you know? Have fun and be cautious.

You have a point. And I have had the experience of disliking people and "ignoring" them for a while, and then discovering that they are really nice. And I don't want to miss out. But for the time being, I will just choose to ignore a couple of items, because I already have a major comedy show going on with my mom, and I'm getting loads of laughs with that - she's enough to put me in an insane asylum just laughing at the wall!


blissfully satisfying.

:lol: Sometimes it's funny when you don't have to look at ugly things!

[Ecurb]

I have everyone here on "ignore" except for myself. Who needs to know what anyone else thinks?

[Delta40]

What's an ignore button?

You don't fool me Ecurb! You know you've "grown" as a person from the lessons I've taught you. Remember when you thought the quality of your tv shows could suffer if you copied them to watch later?

Delta, it's in the UserCP. You can put names on it and then you won't see those people on the forum.

Ignore button may be useful. However, those how push our buttons are our best teachers. :brow: I had to use on a few occasions when I was too distracted from what I was doing. In a real life, we choose with whom we want to interact…..and if we want to look at our issues. :devil: But when we are around like minded people, the energy is high and uplifting.

I let my students hit an easy button at school when they are under control and not pushing my buttons. It's a blast!

ftil-
For me, the idea of Litnet is to relax and have fun after a long day. When I'm still shacking off the day, I am not in a calm or relaxed place, so I need tools to help ease into the evening. There are just a few names that I always react the same way to. The ignore button helps me to control myself. When I'm good and calm and relaxed, then I turn it off. I can read posts without feeling antagonized or frustrated by little professors.

a few? I wonder who the other ones are? :wink5:

I hear you and I personally don’t want to waste my energy on having arguments or unproductive discussions that are draining. I would rather laugh then argue. Therefore, I hit a magic button sometimes. :brow:

I agree with you that forums are a place to have fun and relax. But I also view a place to share our knowledge. I have been on a few forums and I appreciate those who took their time and shared their resources and knowledge. So, it depends on mood I have.lol
As you said..... ignorance can be blissful sometimes. :wink5:

[Vonny]

I love the knowledge here. ftil has put up some beautiful artwork and made me realize that some nude paintings are indeed very beautiful - those ladies by the pool hit me where I live!

When I really want to relax I go to the classical music thread and click a link.

...and then while I'm here I feel compelled to share some of my own wealth of wisdom with someone like Ecurb. :p

[YesNo]

I didn't know there was an ignore button. Is there a way to see a list of who is ignoring whom?

[Buh4Bee]

Not to my knowledge- it's for your own personal use.

I'm feeling paranoid now. I was trying to respond to your message and couldn't find where to leave it on your wall, and wasn't able to send you a PM... I think my feelers could be hurt :sad:

[Buh4Bee]

No, I screw around with my controls and mess them up. I'll send you a PM.
