I think I know why 14 people have me on ignore

I can be an asshole.

But I did opt to call myself the only non-sexist derogatory term I can think of. Everyone has an asshole. So maybe I'm not hopeless.

This place must be my true group soul mate.

And the 14 people who have me on ignore are only the star members. No telling how many I really have.

perhaps ignores should be viewed as badges of honor...you know you are not a cipher when you have collected a few ignores.

Enema nozzle.

The term, not the thing itself.

Fuckwit is also very useful as is pustulent canker or odorous wen.

read the text copied from my transparency profile thing

"Number of Star members ignoring me: 0
Number of Star members blocking mail from me (including members ignoring me): 0 "

doesn't tell me if NON-star members are ignoring/blocking me

I'm in the process of setting up pay-pal to become a star member myself

will this change the information available re the transparency/blocking thing?

I already know it improves the search and other functions(like killing the ads etc.,)

just thought(since I never use the ignore thing)

- maybe non-star members CAN'T ignore you?

Am I helping you here at all?

When I was even more of a newbie than I am now, I had a post hidden and was crushed.

Then I got an invitation to serve on a jury and found out the idiot reasons people vote to hide. One person said, well the post would be okay if the poster had more of a record, but even though the post was true, the poster had so few posts that it was likely a troll.

What hiding posts does is discourage honest differences of opinion. Who wants to say Hillary would be a disaster as President if they're going to rack up hidden posts and probably eventually get booted.

Personally, I haven't blocked anyone. I think it's childish unless the person is really becoming abusive to you.

If I don't like what someone says I just stop going back and forth with them. But like I said, I can be an asshole right back at them.
