20. My rule for using Ignore is more self protective

Fri Apr 7, 2017, 08:43 PM

Apr 2017

If someone repeatedly pisses me off so much that I might do something that could get me banned, I put them on Ignore. It got me through the primaries without damage.

Every so often I clear out my Ignore list - except for two names. They've earned permanent positions.

I Trash a LOT more threads than I use Ignore on people.
