22. I've chosen to wait and watch

I get in the heat of the moment posts, and a visceral need to defend ones candidate, and currently am not posting much and not uncoincidently don't use ignore.

*Now this means nothing to DU at large, because I'm not one to jump into the fray very often.

I don't care about the opinion of DU at large*

However, to maintain my sense of integrity and, after the primaries, the ones I've identified who are demonstrably sexist, racist, anti-semites, homophobic and bigots of any kind will go on ignore. Also, the ones seemingly addicted to drama, ridiculous conspiracy theories. (they and the many bigots are what inspired my sig line--I am left with WTF as a response far too often)

Also, the ones who are just assholes all the time--apparently can't help themselves, never saw a thread they didn't want to disrupt or be shitty to someone in, never started an OP without the intent to stab. Oh and the obvious trolls, although that can seem subjective depending on ones personal opinion of a given topic.


It is, or will be a great ignore list, still in the works. This is a large group of people, but not as large as you might think. Since I've been part of this community for so long I doubt I'll just leave--the only other option.

I used to have just three annoying people on ignore. Interestingly two are now gone.

I will be sooo glad when the primaries are over
