Question about ignore list

[KS Toronado]

Way I read it is if you put someone on ignore you can't see what they post. But what if they reply to
something I post and others reply to them, kinda leaves a person in the dark what they are talking
about. Shouldn't the ignore list include they can't see what I post? Have always wondered about
that.

1. If they reply to you, you won't see their

reply or any replies to to them. The whole thread that they start will be invisible to you.

3. Ok

so in other words, it puts horse blinders on us, we can't see them but they can see us?

4. Unless they've put

you on “ignore”.

5. That's how I'm reading it

kind of a one way street.

6. Yes, that's why I have NEVER put anyone on ignore - I simply don't want that person crapping on

everything I write, with convincing-sounding "facts" and "logic", making me look stupid and ignorant, and I'm totally unaware of their post. So I don't respond and everyone reading the thread thinks that I have no response to that replier's "great" points.

But to have that ability of a reverse ignore -- blocking someone from seeing what I write -- that would lead to a lot of foul use. I could be crapping -- with convincing-sounding "facts" and "logic" -- on posts that someone else writes and that person would never know because I put them on reverse ignore. That is most certainly unfair and something that I wouldn't want done to me. So I am extremely very vehemently strongly opposed to such a feature.

With the regular ignore (1st paragraph), I'm choosing to be an ostrich.

With the "reverse ignore" (2nd paragraph), someone is making the choice to make me an ostrich.

2. I believe that you can't see posts from DUers that they have exchanges with

Which makes it tough if you're on MIRT.

7. It should work as a 2-way block, like on other sites

Also, it should hide posts on the front page.
