Apiphobic Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Have never used the ignore feature. Wouldn't it make for terribly disjointed conversation? Now I remember reading that somebody is double-jointed. It was on KidsHappen's thread about telling something you've never told on the boards. But I don't remember who it was. Double-jointed elbows? Don't make me go back there and look through that whole thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apiphobic Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I voted for "hang on a sec while I add you", because I couldn't resist!!! :lol: But you're not on my ignore list!!

keptwoman Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 And now I'm curious about how this ignore feature works. How can you see individual posts? Anybody feel like trying the ignore feature just to see what happens? Feel free to ignore me to test it. But promise you'll cancel it when you find out how it feels, k? ;) I've had someone on my ignore list start a thread. You see the title and the author. If you hover your mouse over you can't see the wording like you usually can and if you click on it their post is hidden but the replies are not. So people who have you on their ignore list could in fact see and vote in the poll. Hope that clarifies. :D My ignore list is empty right now, I've taken a :chillpill:. However that could change at any minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Mom Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 No. But I'm actually offended by some other posters because I actually LIKE seeing John McEnroe in shorts :glare:!

Apiphobic Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) How does the ignore list work? Does it mean that you can't see any posts by the person you've added? keptwoman explained it well. scroll down to see her post. Obviously not since I'm reading this post. Too late; I'd already posted the poll before it dawned on me. :o Don't know what it is Did this thread help at all? Of course not! Thank you! Darn! That was my line! She's fast, idn't she? Just look at the poll results. It would be pretty hypocritical to have you as a "friend" and on "ignore", wouldn't it? Now why didn't I think of that? No you are not, but I feel that way sometimes too. Either that or nobody knows anything about modern day Greece. You feel paranoid sometimes, too? And ... umm ... I'm familiar with the movie Grease with John Travolta. Does that count? :huh: La la la laaaaallaaaaa dooo doooodoodoodooooo hmmm hmmmm... Oh wait...is that not how the ignore feature works? Works for me. ;) I don't have anyone on ignore......... Me neither! I don't have anyone on my ignore list. Me neither! the sequel Can someone here please tell me what this poll is about?? I can't read it. You're so mean. I'm gonna report you for ... uhh ... for ... meaniness! Well, I voted no, but this: is such a good and well-taken point, I may need to reconsider.... Said in my most serious John McEnroe voice with my most serious face, "You cannot be serious." Of course not, you are a friend! Although, everytime I see your avatar, ugly bugglies come to mind, which is a bit put offing (good term, don't'cha think? I'm really homeschooling to start my own language--mom-monics!! I'll keep you updated!). I don't have anyone on my ignore list--I like to see what everyone has to say, no matter how much I disagree. How else can I know when I have to correct them? And, as for the poll, it is true--the two people who answered yes should not have been able to see the post, if you are on their ignore list. And, if you are, think of what they are missing!! I think we should put our fave quotes about ignorance here, for all those who are ignored (I've been told I'm on "ignore" by a few, and I'm proud of it!!! They are exactly the type I'd like to be ignored by! ) Here are some of my faves: "The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge." Elbert Hubbard "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and a conscientious stupidity." Martin Luther King "The greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about." and, of course, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." Derek Bok (not Bo Derek, as someone once asked me ) Okay, I read this first as ugly bunnies and was trying to figure out if you were talking about my avatar or someone else's. It took me a minutes to see buGGlies. Then I got your off joke. I could change my avatar, but then my board name won't mean much, will it? I looked through my favorite quotes and couldn't find anything on ignorance. I did find this though and thought it was apropos for all the heat generated on the boards recently. To obtain a man’s opinion of you, make him mad. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes I've only ever used my ignore list for one person, and it isn't you. Whew! I've got one person on ignore, and it's not you. :) Whew! the sequel I've had someone on my ignore list start a thread. You see the title and the author. If you hover your mouse over you can't see the wording like you usually can and if you click on it their post is hidden but the replies are not. So people who have you on their ignore list could in fact see and vote in the poll. Hope that clarifies. My ignore list is empty right now, I've taken a :chillpill:. However that could change at any minute. Yes, thank you very much. Edited October 19, 2008 by Apiphobic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
