Strategic use of the “Ignore List”

[snowdog]

I’ve thought about putting a few people on the ignore list…
I just took another Prozac and they didn’t push my buttons anymore.

You can certainly put people on ignore but some of the more annoying trolls just change their username when they say enough dumb things that it’s common knowledge to pay them no attention.

It then becomes a game of "Whack-A-Mole" to keep shutting the new names down.

Sometimes it's easiest to simply skip over their messages in the thread. That’s especially helpful because when they are quoted because you already know to ignore the comments without reading them.

I have 2 people on ignore.

Problem is every time I see the

This message is hidden because XXXXX is on your ignore list.

message I have an obsessive compulsion to click on the "View Post" link to see what the idiot has to say today.

Is there anywhere I can seek help for this?

Just take them off ignore and enjoy the show
