Could Wind Turbines Be Toxic To The Ear?

190. Oddly enough, most are not responding to that poster at all.

They are responding to other DUers or to the ideas presented in the original post. "Behind her back" is a false concept. Anything posted on DU is posted for the public to see and to comment on. That's what DU is for. If a poster chooses to ignore the posts of some, that's a conscious choice on the part of that poster. It imposes nothing on anyone else. The thread remains public and is open to commentary. That the original poster cannot see some of the comments is the poster's choice.

Personally, as someone who is often disagreed with, I can't understand ignoring posters. I want to know what everyone says. I want to see all comments to anything I post. If I ignored people, I'd be posting blind. Those who do not wish to read my posts can put me on ignore. Some have. I disregard those DUers, since they never interact with me.

One thing that is common, though, is for posters who have a long ignore list to log off and return to DU so they can see the posts of those who they are supposedly ignoring. When that happens, it's often obvious, when the poster with many ignores comments on what one of the ignored posters has written. That's a pretty common occurrence, actually, and is always amusing.
