I've always used it sparingly but during primary season it really gets a workout.

It can also be enlightening and a little bit fun too.

When you look at the list you can either "block mail" or "full ignore". When I put someone on ignore it goes on "full ignore", no more stress caused by them. Every now and then I'll go through the list of full ignores and check on the person just to see which of them is on yet another time out or even better PPR'd.

When I find one PPR'd I'll change them to "block mail" and leave them on the list. I've noticed that over time most of the folks I've decided to ignore finally step over the line and get banned. In a not so serious way I think that validates me as a decent judge of character.
