My ignore list is about twelve strong right now. INcluding four (IO think) regular postesr, five or six known JFUCK socks and a couple of too lame to read socks. I like it. Makes scrolling much quicker. I have not publicly announced my last two additions of regular posters, bc one is a sacred cow who I actually believe is kind of an untouchable, and the only one who is. But em's posting was really getting on my nerves. I will probalby remove em at some point. The other has proven to be highly sensitive to criticism and cannot handle flames, as much as em likes to dish em out. I didnt want to upset em further as em has obviously had a bad couple of days.

I lvoe the ignore list and it makes catchinhg up ten or twelve pages much quicker.

But besies, that, AG, you are just about always right.

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.

You are projecting an image on fringey that she has not confirmed. You think she is ugly and can't hold her own (like you think you can) in real life in a social setting. But she has never implied that she was some beauty queen who is the most popular girl at the bar. So, why do you take such satisfaction in pointing out that she's not?

If you're going to attack, you should use what she gives you. She attacks you on the substance of your posts. You don't. You make something up in your head and attack that again and again. It's very ineffective, even though I'm sure you think everyone mainly knows you're mostly correct.

Now, I'm not saying fringey isn't nuts. Hell, her arguments last night made no sense. Yez, she started it with you and then didn't want to follow it up. But she was arguing about what you posted and you were arguing about who you think she is in real life. You guys aren't even in the same area code when you're arguing. No wonder she gives up.

The whole thing is stupid.

She is so E True Hollywood STory in about six to ten years. ANd not the happy ending kind where nothing really bad happened.

White pumps, indeed.

Her remaining time is about 246 days, 8 hours 57 minutes and let's call it 30 seconds until the Olsen twins become Playboy-type legal. Soon thereafter, Britney will be lucky to be doing ATM gigs with the Hedgehog. Are you ready for some football, Ms. Spears?

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.

1) it is not just as easy to scroll past all posts bc some people ,ahem , are rather long winded.

2) As resident at large of several ignore liists at some point, including mine which drove you to an insane multi board stalk sessoin, they are not in your best interests.

I know several posters who happily employ them on a stealth basis. And I am pretty sure at least one wont be posting to applaud them. But em digs em.

Sincerely

I offer deep apologies to all the FB notables who didn't make the cut. You were excluded not because your contribution is valued less than 49 others, but rather because (1) I could think of nothing nasty or sycophantic to say about you that rhymed with "quim" between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. PDT; or (2) I honestly didn't think you were a Penske sock. I stand corrected, Aloha, and preemptively apologize also to ABBAKiss, Adder, Alex de Large, andViolins, Chevy, Dualit, Flinty, 8track, JustForFun,* lawyer_princess, LFM, Burger, Ruth Bader-Meinhoff etc., NFH, Secret Agent Man, SEC_Chick, sgtclub, Sparklehorse, Tmdiva, and many beloved others. And God bless you, daysleeper, wherever you are.

I didn't think you were kissing ass with your original song parody submission.

But you clearly are now.

Ignore lists should be like Fight Club.*

As the mod of this board, I at least glance at every single stupid suckass post. The ignore function enables me to not have to read the sometimes stupidly offensive posts every time I glance at a page.

TM,

True, but I owe an explanation. This will come off as obscenely arrogant, but its the only way I can explain myself...

I can't stand Fringey for the same reason she can't stand me - we both recognize though our words that we are diamtrical opposite personalities. She calls me odious and replusive because I enflame her sensibilities. However, she hides her sensibilities. I decided to explore those sensibilities. IRL, I can back up every crazy thing I say. If you don't believe that, ask AdL, who knows me very well. I think Fringey doesn't like me not because of what I say but because she recognizes me as an obnoxious cavalier asshole... I represent something she doesn't like, otherwise, she wouldn't go out of her way to come after me. So I called her out. I let her know my suspicions for good or ill, and that I suspect that if we had the same disagreement in real life, she'd turn tail and hide.

In sum, she's a tiger in her papers but I suspect she's a kitten in the flesh, and I don't endure that sort of thing. Its actually quite wierd that I even argue on these boards, since IRL, I usually refuse to decide anything on the papers and demand oral argument. Fringey strikes me as one of those angry kids who writes me nasty-grams and vitriolic motions, but collapses like a scared little shit in open court when I drag her screaming to argument. I endure her sort all day in my job and I'll be damned if I won't call her out here.

S(If the image of Fringey I projected is wrong, I'll pull a Tucker Carlson and eat my keyboard... note that she never argued with my description of her)D

There are only two options: find a less expensive great colorist or stick with your current great colorist.

Hair color is too important to leave to a box. I've never done home hair color, but I have seen plenty of bad dye jobs. Don't be that girl.

Confidential to the above three:

Write whatever you want, say whatever you will, I do not care. I will not see your posts. Do not think, Sebastian, that you can avoid my merciless ignore list wrath through your questionable elevation to status of moderator. Because I am a super genius, I have discovered a way to circumvent your ignore list circumvention. My hereinafter proprietary method is as follows:

When scrolling through the posts, before reading the message part of the post, I will first look at the author field. You may not have yet figured this out, you reefer-addled simpleton, but in the upper left hand corner of each of your posts appears your screen name. By looking to the upper left corner before reading the message section of each posts, I will be able to immediately identify which posts are yours. As soon as I, using the above proprietary methods, identify a post as having been authored by you, I will avert my eyes from the substance of the post, and will scroll to the next post. So continue on with the delusion of ignore list omnipotence as long as you wish, you bleary-eyed, cheebahead. Post all you want about it. I will not see. Is any of this getting in through your dilated pupils and making sense to your mushroom pizza synapses?

To the extent the other two tiny-brained freaks are or will soon become moderators, the same goes for you. Prepare to be crushed under the iron fist of my ignore list tryanny from the date and time of this post until COB today, at which time I will retire, effectively putting the entire seething cauldron of Lawtalkers dysfunctionality onto my permanent and irrevocable ignore list.

Now that was funny...

Not A enough, I tell you. If you want to ignore people, don't talk about them. Or it.

I can confirm that I am not a beauty queen who is the life of the party at the bar. On the whole I'm not a big bar person (smoke -- ick) so that part of it generally doesn't come up.

I can concede the "nuts" part too.

This is likely true as well, but I don't want to have to go back and relive the horror so I'm not going to confirm it.

That, I can agree with without any reservations. Which I guess points up another flaw, that I get sucked into things and won't let it go. I'll try to work on that.

Great. Now this is the voice I'm hearing.
