Anything I say will to your mind just reinforce everything you think about me -- if I am argumentative, I am more of a troll. If I say no, I am quite attractive, you will say I am protesting too much. And so on. There's nothing in it for me." - ltl/fb

I'd love to have you on cross... love it.

You smoke a lot of dope? Your short term memory's really on the fritz? Did my description rattle you that much?

S(Its easy to visualize people from their writing)D

Sebby, are you happy with yourself? Do you think this behavior is Christian? (Ltl/fb, this goes for you, too).

I'd like to PM sometime about what you're each really doing and what this kind of hosility says. The Lord is charitable and forgiving, and you can be saved!

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. OK. A more complete answer: On the whole, I ridicule you. When you attempt to psychoanalyze me, I psychoanalyze you back.

That's it from me. You can take any future lack of response on my part to anything you post as an admission. I believe that is what litigation people call such things.

I apologize to the rest of the board for this bullshit and my participation in it.

Edited to say apparently I misread your post, or you changed it or whatever. My more complete answer should be: Back on infirmation, when I could not put you on ignore, I did read you. Since coming over here, I have had you on ignore. However, people on occasion respond to your posts and unfortunately frequently the post to which they are responding is reproduced in the new post. As previously mentioned, I have a hard time reading words that are right in front of my face. Also, on occasion I have clicked on your posts to see what you are saying (e.g., when I reproduced that post of yours for wanker). Nonetheless, having had you on "ignore" ever since we came to this board, I have for the most part not read your posts.

There is great debate about whether this occurred or not, but my view is it did.

After all, such a big deal was made about Mary being a virgin, wouldn't the Bible make an equally big deal if Christ were?

Edited to correct the tense of my final verb to a subjunctive tense, per the advice of Atty. fringe.

I was trying to PM you privately. You may want to clean it out.

Were. If Christ were. It's called the subjunctive. Use it.

Dear Watchtower,

I have not accepted Jesus, or anyone else for that matter, as my personal savior, but I dig you.

Just thought you should know.

With chaste regards,

RT

You trollop. We are familiar with your fucking-the-brother-of-the-current-boyfriend history. You are trying to draw Watchtower into your web so that you can debauch him. Whore.

He just has it set up to respond that way when the Witnesses stop by.

Hey, I don't have to take guff from frustrated fat lil trolls. Its as simple as that. She hasn't proven herself confident enough to ridicule me, and I take umbrage at being ridiculed by someone who I feel is, well... defective. I sense she's the sort of common frustrated person who I wouldn't glance twice at in a bar or be remotely interested by, so I'm rather offended that she feels she can ridicule me here, in this anonymous forum, where she can pretend to be something she's not.

S(Toodles... off to the gym and then a having some drinks)D

Original response deleted because, well, I'm workin' on that whole self-improvement thing. And even more because I think everyone will mainly agree that his response kind of speaks for itself.

Just stay away from that temptress RT. Don't be fooled by her blatant attempts to attract your attention by pointing out her un-belief. She is soulless and will only lead you into sin.

A quick google search indicates that vbulletin has an option that allows you to ignore mods. I'm surmising that either Leagl has opted not to make the option available, or it's in a different version of the software.

The problem of seeing the quoted versions of the posts from people who are on your ignore list can be accommodated by a kluge wherein each post definition contains a variable that stores whose post is being quoted -- so when the identity of either the replying user or the quoted user is compared against your ignore list and a match is found, the entire post is not displayed. This shouldn't be all that difficult to code, given that it's a slight extension of the presently-available user ignore feature.

Why thank you, my child. I would be happy enough with the first one option. The other one uses words I don't understand, plus, I've gotten along without it so far any my forehead vein has not popped. Plus, some people I ignore sometimes say interesting things.

leagl?

When I first opened the board I left it so mods couldn't be ignored, because it would be difficult for mods to do their jobs if they could be ignored.

After e/o became an Admin we discussed the issue and decided it was best to leave it that way for the same reason.

However, after viewing your conversation with Sebbie I posted a note on the Admin board asking if it was perhaps appropriate for us to reconsider this issue again.

I don't want people who don't want to read what a mod has to say to be forced to read it when it is on a personal level, as opposed to when the mod is doing his or her job.

If it were possible to make it so you couldn't ignore a mod on his or her own board it would be a simple enough solution, but that isn't how the software works.

In addition, not only does it allow you to ignore mods it allows you to ignore admins, and it would be very difficult to maintain control if it were possible for those who are less well behaved to just ignore us.

I searched for a modification for this, but one has not been created.

Rarely are things as simple as some people like to suggest. Certainly if we had a staff of coders it would be one thing. We however do not.
