Then I clear it out every so often. Usually the people who end up on my ignore list are the people who get all hung up on a single issue and bring it up in totally unrelated topics...(Like "Scientists find cure for AIDS!" and their response in the thread is "But why hasn't congress done anything about Net Neutrality?&quot .
