Placing members on 'Ignore'

[Danmark]

'Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and place you on "Ignore," for by doing so they confess your arguments are too difficult for them to withstand. Rather than contest the power of your words they seek refuge from the truth.'

I currently have 5 people who have me on 'ignore.' They have all either been banned or are inactive. So when someone puts you on 'ignore' they have actually given you an award.

Part of the purpose of this thread is to start a contest:

"Who currently has the highest number of debaters who have them on "ignore"?

I hereby claim the lead with FIVE [5]

Sorry, beat you at 7. Of the 13 I've ignored for what I considered consistent rude and abusive bullying: 7 have been banned, 2 are currently on probation, 1 inactive and 1 mutual.

I sometimes want a poll for 'next person probably to be banned' but not really...

Peace, Ted

Under the formula for the contest, you have to subtract one 'ignore' for everyone YOU ignore; therefore, you are a minus 6.

Nudging the goal posts back into place...ignores that are banned or under probation should not count so I'm only -4 giving me a 4...

Peace, Ted

I have failed only 1 ignoring me :/
Also truescott I ignore only because most of the time you discuss PCE I just find it easier to manage threads in terms of space because your posts are generally big

I still read them so technically speaking I don't count :p

There are two words that describe those who choose to put other forum members that they disagree with on "Ignore." The first word is chicken. The second rhymes with Schmidt. Too poorly prepared to effectively defend what they think they believe in, too lazy to actually do the necessary preparation, too dogmatic to learn learn anything from this experience, and too insecure to take a chance on allowing themselves to be publicly shown up for being ill prepared, dogmatic and lazy.

These is one problem with your above post... IT IS NOT TRUE! You have had me on "Ignore" practically from your first day on the forum. I clearly am not banned, nor have I ever been on probation. I am not inactive, and it would never in a million years occur to me to put anyone else on "ignore" under any circumstances. You must be that fella Schmidt that I was speaking of in my previous post.

Actually there are two problems with your above post. Since you have me on "ignore" you will never be able to read this posting concerning those who place members on "ignore."

I wouldn't be too sure about your very last sentence. I have responded primarily so Ted ['peace'] can see what you wrote. I thought that if Ted got a chance to see this, he might revise his 'ignore' list.

I am not too sure if that is true on all cases. Sometimes, people can be obtuse. If someone is unwilling to make sense, or is too dogmatic and unreasoning, it might be just a matter of protection for you not to raise your blood pressure. Of course, it has to rise above the level of merely disagreeing.

True enough I suppose. Sometimes one does well to remember the old adage:
"Never wrestle in the mud with a pig. The pig likes it and you get dirty."

Thanks Danmark...

You see, Tired of the Nonsense, there is room in my count of 11 out of 13 for two more, and you are one of them, indeed.

I have lost the memory of the [alleged] insult I responded to so I'll accept it that it is time for a revision and I hope we can get along. I admit my ignore list is purely emotional on my part, not wanting to hear from them anymore, as I have never dumped anyone for a difference of belief which I just pass over without reading very much.

The very first post by the very first person to respond to an answer of mine got banned for it for ad hominem rudeness... yet I am glad that I have stuck it out. It has been an education to me:

Every sword has its stone.
Every warrior, opponents for his edge.
No animosity.

Peace, Ted
