Have you ever put someone on ignore but then ended up really liking them

[graywarrior]

and feeling like an asshole because you jumped to conclusions?

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Well, my husband, but

I didn't feel like an asshole, he deserved it. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

3. I stiLL have that Loser on ignore.

:hide:

Kidding. I LUVRES him.

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Yah, I know....stalker...

:eyes:

:loveya:

[graywarrior]

5. OMG, that is golden!

[bicentennial_baby]

8. we call it "From Ignore to Adore"

:D

[graywarrior]

9. Gee, maybe I'll end up marrying my former ignoree.

[billyskank]

2. Did you put me on ignore?

:D

I have been wrong about people before.

[graywarrior]

7. Why would I EVER do that to you?

:loveya:

[billyskank]

12. Stranger things have happened.

:D

:loveya: too. :hug:

[graywarrior]

14. Not between us.

We're like two peas in a pod.

[Gormy Cuss]

6. First part, yes. Second part, no.

Then again I use the ignore function more like a timeout. Only a couple of people have stayed on my ignore list longer than a few weeks.

[DS1]

10. No. Never.

If/when they do get back off ignore, I usually find that their posts are stupid shit

[Midlodemocrat]

36. Ahem. I *do* believe that once upon a time there was a certain

DUer who pissed you off and got put on ignore. That particular DUer now gets computer advice.

:loveya:

[BlueJazz]

11. Well...Yes..I put this one person on ignore that insisted of torturing Ducks

...but later found out that they were the coolest and greatest person on DU.


:spank:

[graywarrior]

16. .

I'M K I D D I N G ! ! ! !

[BlueJazz]

29. Actually ...that's the nicest thing anybody's said about me all day!

Always enjoy your posts...Grey.. :)

[graywarrior]

45. Thanks.

Back atcha.

[trof]

13. NO! That would show weakness and indecision.

And self-doubt and vacillation.
And flip-floppiness.
I am always right.
Almost always, anyway.
trof uber alles.
heil

[graywarrior]

21. You won't catch me arguing with you, dude.

Ever.

[trof]

31. A prudent course of action.

;-)

[graywarrior]

49. I'm smarter than I look.

:dunce:

[matcom]

15. i FINALLY grew on you!

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

18. Like a wart.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
:rofl:

[Fran Kubelik]

17. not yet

That would surprise me...immensely.

I have found, with the people I need to ignore, that just ignoring the threads they start works very well. Then I never have to see "ignored" anywhere and wonder what I am missing. Plus - these people so rarely post on anything but their own threads.

[unpossibles]

19. aw! I'm touched!

:)

at least everyone says I am a bit touched. I like to think I am "interesting" instead.

[BarenakedLady]

20. No

Ok, maybe

[graywarrior]

22. It's me, huh?

Go ahead, I can take it.

[BarenakedLady]

24. I can't hear youuuuuu

la la la la la

:P

[graywarrior]

30. Hey! ! ! !

HEY! ! ! !

HEY ! ! !

HEY!

[billyskank]

32. She hears you

She's a jewel, that one. It took me a while to figure it out - too stupid for my own good - but I got it in the end.

[graywarrior]

34. She rules.

[billyskank]

23. I did.

I have made some awful mistakes.

[BarenakedLady]

25. Haven't we all?

:hug:

[billyskank]

26. Probably yes

but I was really really wrong and I am glad I got a second chance. :hug:

:yourock:

[lost-in-nj]

27. Never put anyone on ignore..

should I do this????

nah.....

there is no one I want to ignore....
well maybe one...
no names
no hints (purple hippo)

LOL

:rofl: :rofl:


lost


:hi:

HI Gray!!!!!

how are you?? still spinning???


lost

[graywarrior]

28. Still spinning!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

33. Nice to see that no one I'm ignoring has responded to this thread

It hasn't happened yet, but one never knows.

[graywarrior]

35. Whaaaa?

:hi:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

39. Fear not, o warrior!

[Skittles]

37. are you ignoring me, DTK ?

I WILL KICK YOUR ASS

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

38. My ass will remain unkicked (for now, anyway!)

[cutlassmama]

40. no

[Fran Kubelik]

41. oh geez

Does your lack of response to me in this thread mean you have me on ignore?

[graywarrior]

46. Hell, no!

:hi:

[Fran Kubelik]

71. oh good.

I get paranoid. There's another thread from yesterday where I was the only person who didn't get a response. I think that person has me on ignore, which I find perplexing. Oh well.

:pals:

[graywarrior]

72. I'm sure that's the case.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

42. Yes, but

No, I don't feel like an asshole.

There is a person who, by rights should be on my ignore list just on general principle, because we're so diametrically opposed on an issue on which I feel very strongly.

But he's a nice person otherwise.

So he gets a pass, though it really irks me.

[AirmensMom]

43. No.

You have to completely prove your asshole-ness before I pull out that red x. From then on, there's no hope. My list is short, but it's forever. :shrug:

[HughBeaumont]

44. Shit no.

The ignore list is filled with time-tested flamethrowers and pro-job-offshorers. Not dealing with that nonsense.

[SPKrazy]

47. hmmm...

I've been back and forth with putting people I am annoyed with in what they are saying on ignore but I get over that and unignore them in less time than it took me to decide to put them on ignore

As for jumping to the wrong conclusion?

prolly so

[bridgit]

48. i don't put people on ignore...

:cry:

[graywarrior]

50. That's coz you're nice.

O8)

[XemaSab]

55. Once upon a time I put someone on ignore

and later recanted. :pals:

[momophile]

51. yes, and I'll never tell who it was

and it was not billyskank. neva!

[billyskank]

58. ...

:loveya:

[fudge stripe cookays]

52. Yup.

I was awfully nasty to Pri for awhile (steroids for the MS made me a real bitch for some time), but I've apologized and we get along fine now.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

66. ...

:hug:

[fudge stripe cookays]

67. Hugfest!

:hug:

[Danger Mouse]

53. were i ever to use the ignore feature...

it would be for a real festering scumheap of human wreckege that i would never dream of having any sort of communication with that didn't involve the middle finger.
that's my stand on the issue.

[graywarrior]

60. Whoa.

:scared:

[AirmensMom]

63. I thought

it was very eloquently put. :D

[graywarrior]

70. Indeed, it is.

I am astounded.

[Danger Mouse]

83. let's just say this. my ignore list is still empty.

i'm waiting for that special someone to end my 'ignore list' virginity. who will have the honor? whoever it is, screw you in advance. i hate you.

[AirmensMom]

61. Exactly!

Well, except that you sometimes have to have SOME communication with them in order to find out just how bad a real festering scum heap of human wreckage they are. :D

[graywarrior]

73. I like you.

You're sick.

[Danger Mouse]

84. of course, i'd have to occasionally remind them of what a human stain they are.

you know. just in case they'd forgotten.

[Fran Kubelik]

77. Yes.

Solid round of applause to you.

[Danger Mouse]

85. thanks =)

there are people on du that i've encountered that i consider to be vile, reprehensible human beings...but they don't disgust me quite enough to ignore them, for their antics doth amuse me still.

[idgiehkt]

54. this is a trick question, right?

or is they unignored by your doppelganger simultaneously in a parallel universe?

:shrug: :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

56. I've only ever put two people on ignore...

And I still think they were both douchebags. (They were both banned at some point. Shame, really.)

[Mythsaje]

57. I got into a big argument with a certain someone about the draft

and have since found that it's one of the few things we DO disagree about.

Yeah, I felt like an idiot.

[Jamastiene]

59. Not here, because I never see their posts again and

if I put someone on ignore here, it's because they had it coming. Trust me. I take my ignore list here seriously. I give them all the chances they need before I throw them to the proverbial, electronic "Talk to the hand" routine.

I have put someone, two people actually, on ignore at another site (celeb fan site) and later really really found them to be the coolest people for that certain site. Turns out they were the smartest ones to talk to there. I just really disagreed with them on that one topic. Eventually, I talked them both into my way of thinking on the topic, which I never expected to do. :think:

[EstimatedProphet]

62. Nope. Not once.

[dropkickpa]

64. Can't put people on ignore

I am WAAAYYYYY too damn nebby for that. I get all worked up about missing something and end up taking them off right away. It's a useless tool to me.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

65. yes, indiana jones, fudgestripecookays and janesez. dont feel like an asshole though.

[Phillycat]

68. Ha!

You don't still have me on ignore, do you? :D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

69. lol! no i dont.

[graywarrior]

74. Wow, that's totally honest.

I don't dare say whom I ignored. I fear an ass whoopin'.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

75. i think all 3 of them are tough cookies who can handle this sort of thing.

:hi:

[graywarrior]

76. I agree.

Me? I run.

[fudge stripe cookays]

78. She's totally justified.

I was being a real bitch. There was much mutual poking though. :rofl:

[crim son]

79. No.

I don't put anybody on ignore unless I'm absofuckinglutely sure I don't want to hear anything from them. But there have been a couple of people who used to insult me regularly but who have become some of my favorite DUers... Gallery God, for one.

Currently I have nobody on ignore. I'm not here often enough to maintain enmity w/anybody.

[graywarrior]

80. Yabut, we think about you endlessly.

[crim son]

81. I realize that.

And I feel for you. :P

[SOteric]

82. It takes a very long period of assinine or hostile behaviour

to make it to my ignore list. The few who've graced it over the years I've been here are all tombstoned or no longer posting.

So the answer is no. Technically, people don't get onto my ignore list until I've already assuredly determined they're poopyheads, and not just people I don't 'get.'
