92. The only people I've put on ignore were rude and seemed to WANT to create trouble

It's fine to disagree, but when people resort to insults, rudeness, or read something into what is written that simply is not there in an attempt to create a problem, I don't have time for them.

I think you can count the people I've put on ignore on one hand.
