Does the ignore list block PMs?

Oh you're talking Charlatans and Snake oil Merchants?

Thanks Paul,

It's an unfortunate fact that an abusive PM can be sent and as a parting shot put you are put on individual's ignore list.

I know from first hand experience.

Not only is it cowardly but it turns the ignore list into a weapon of personal attack.

Regards

Steven

I'm a very tolerant person, so others say. This is my first "ignore" in four and a half years.

Jen,

I'm with you. People just don't phase me that much. if I don't like what they are saying, I just stop reading it. Easy huh !

I'm sure that, even if I disliked someone very much, I would never put them on an ignore list. I could never dislike anyone that much nor find their case so lost as to shun them.

Perhaps I'm being a Jane Bennet, but there IS good in all of us and we should be open enough to see it.

Cheers,

The ignore list is good to filter the posts of all the abusive people or crackpots that polute the threads. It gets tiring after a while. So as a filter it's effective. If it's not there then you don't have to read it. Like a spam filter.

There will rarely ever be 100% agreement for everything, so yours and Jen's feelings on the subject were expected from some members.

No matter what subject is brought up there will usually be those that feel different.

That's what is good about the society we live in. The right to agree or disagree
Or in this case, the right to use 'Ignore' or not.

Ahhhh Democracy

But Jane was wrong about George Wickham wasn't she.
I've only got one person on my ignore list. But he kept pushing me and pushing me until I had no choice.

The only time I would use the ignore feature is if the mother in law joined
IIS.

With you Steve

I was hoping the mods would put me on their ignore list, then I could get away with the odd risque joke and stuff - but alas it's not to be, I must be censured and censored!

I must not be rude to mods
I must not be rude to mods
I must not be rude to mods

Don't know about this ignore thing, if you don't like the subject or a member just ignore it. , gees I'm bored today.
