Of all the times to be tired . . .

NFH, I am trying to finish up a plan and get the hell out of here, but you do realize that getting any kind of praise for anything other than sheer whore-y sexual explicitness (e.g., description of eating an eclair) is like [insert something that is generally impossible], don't you?

So, if you stick to sexually explicit stuff, you can get all the approval you want. Just don't try to branch out to humor. Really. [/QUOTE]

Man.

You're a hard one to please.

You're not married, are you?

Detailed explanation of ignore lists vis-a-vis admins

Why are people getting so worked up about whether they can "ignore" other posters? The whole thing is ridiculous. Why do people even use this function?

Very few people post pure spam (although the RP tribute sock is skating close to the line). It seems like most posters who are using "ignore" are doing it because they don't want to read stuff from people they don't like (boo hoo), usually including flames/ridicule in response to negative opinions they've expressed about the "ignored" poster. If that's what's going on, it's childish even by junior high standards.

If you want to use the ignore list, fine. But please shut the fuck up about who's on it. That doesn't achieve any purpose at all that's relevant to the supposed reason for the list (to stop stalking, real harassment, bababooey, etc.).* If you post that you're "ignoring" someone -- and it's true -- you can't read their response anyway. You could just as easily send a PM to them saying "don't bother with me, I'm ignoring you." So don't be prima donnas with tender sensibilities. Either: (1) suck it up and learn to take it as well as dish it out, or (2) use the list, but shut the hell up about who's on it and how you change it weekly. Please.

(I know your situation is different, fringey, since you can't ignore sebby. But for God's sake please take it to IM...or just hit back hard instead of complaining about him being an admin.)

How the hell did we ever survive without "ignore" on the old boards? Anyone?

* - and if the real reason is to get a cliquey little "shunning" thing going, I say again: grow up. Hit back hard with a quality flame instead of being a wuss.

Damn it! Another day passes that I have forgotten to get my copy.

At least there are other pictures out there to console me in the meantime:

You know, it's peculiar (I would have said funny, but you know, with fringey all over my back and all I decided not to)
that Chef has been AWOL for days and days and the minute and Brittney picture shows up BAM he's here. It's like he has some sort of radar or sumptin.

sung by Paigow to the tune of Madonna's "Lucky Star"

You must be my FB Crush
'Cause I think of you and the voices hush
I just think of you and I start to glow
Like I'm about to eat
A grande buritto

Chorus:

Starlight, starbright, first post I see tonight
Starlight, [starbright] did I fuck Slave last night?
Starlight, starbright, that sock is Penske's right?
Starlight, [starbright] oooh yeah

You must be my FB Crush
'Cause you make me want to flame JRUSS
when the Board gets too ick-ey
You remind em that it's all about me

(chorus)

Come on, wax your met-er-o body tonight
'Cause my Rabbit's dead, can't TCB right

You may be my FB Crush
But I'm one with the trimmed bush

What he said. Amen. In February 2002 back on the Stalin Board, Count mentioned that Infirm was considering a threaded discussion forum and a certain FBer --- who shall remain monikerless, but whose initials are PP --- asked for an ignore function. My two cents was then* what it is now --- the ignore function wastes a lot of discussion bandwidth discussing the actual and threatened use of the ignore function.

*I was wrong about a couple of things --- the threat is made more often than it is carried out, and K-racing is only Mostly Dead. The universe continues to cool to a uniform temperature, however.

Chorus:

Penske, Penske, Penske, Penske
I'm begging of you please don't take my sock
Penske, Penske, Penske, Penske
Please don't take em just because you rock

Your beauty is beyond compare
Except for Pretty Little Flower
And I've heard several good things 'bout RT
Your posts are like a breath of spring
When you reply to everything
Your other socks just posted now, Penske

Seb talks about you in his sleep
Chef likes breasts but he took a peek
Of what your biggest sock conceals, Penske
And I can easily understand
How you could take my one FB fan
But em's not like that lame tribute to RP

Chorus

You could be a mod, your posts unblocked
But now you post, "I never sock"
Paigow is gonna ignore you, Penske
I had to have this talk with you
Before I'm banished to the land of fu
'Cause Leagl's off the market too, Penske

Chorus

Will someone please PM me and explain what a "Penske sock" is?* -- this is driving me fucking crazy.**

*I know that I should probably know this but despite the claim that there was not an ignore feature on the old board there actually was one that I created myself and I had you all on ignore and thus would have missed all prior discussions of Penske socks and I do not want to go back there and try to find it in the FAQs.

**That is a lie. It is like telling my husband that he drives me to drink. I don't need a ride to either place.

edited to thank Burger for the insightful reponse.
No further PMs necessary -- I think I have a handle on this one.

Did I miss something? Was the fact that these are wild animals and that as wild animals could attack a person at any time being questioned? I won't say that I agree with using these creatures for entertainment purposes but if you are going to you should never forget that they are wild -- ie they are not just bigger versions of the domestic kitties at home and even if they were have you ever seen what those precious kitties do to mice or the back of your fucking hand when they are "playing?" This is as bad as dumbasses who want to go and pet the pretty bears. Natural selection, people, natural selection.

I love the fact that e-mails from the ABA to my work e-mail address are blocked by our IT software because allegedly:

"The original message content contained a virus or was blocked due to blocking rules and has been removed."

And yet some dude in Africa is able to send me countless messages about a bank account, war, millions of dollars, blah, blah, blah.

I don't think the ignore function should exist at all. Its led to some really stupid shit (people posting endlessly about their ignore lists, etc...). When someone bores me, I just scroll past their post. Its like bad television... if you can manipulate a mouse, you can turn the fucking channel.

When someone ridicules/attacks someone else, she should be prepared to take the flames that ensue, particulary if she targets one who she knows will flame her pretty harshly. She should not be able to cry for an admin reprieve to escape responsibility for her own reckless comments - and admins should not indulge such whiners. If you insult someone, you know the consequences.

As merely an example of how things should work, I can recall that TM and I had a flame war some time ago which got nasty, but both of us stood our ground. He didn't cry foul and ask for and admin reprieve nor did I (which turned out badly for me because he wound up beating me like a redheaded stepchild, but that's beside the point).

Simply put, ignore should be removed because its only used/abused by those who seek to dish it out but can't take it.*

S(Its an issue pf personal responsibility - don't post fighting words unless you intend to use your fists, and perhaps get a black eye)D

* Of course, it should still be used to avoid Thottam psosts.
