"Ignore poster function" (47)
Sommerauer71: Hi John
Hum, 'enter at your own risk' button would be a great idea.
Sensitive I can be, so it would depend on the topic.

If I may...I would like to apologize to those of you who were not included in, but were subjected to the argument on the RUDENESS thread last night. I really don't like being like that and prefer to get along with everyone. But there are certain things that set me off and seeing a good person picked on without cause is one of my hot spots.
With that said, I again apologize to those not involved that were subjected to the argument.

That was nice of you, for those you felt you needed to apologise to.
Do you think an ignore poster button would be a good idea?

I was leaning toward a spring loaded brick mounted above everyone's computer screen so we can push a button and release the brick. But since that is an unrealistic pipe dream, yes. I would settle for an ignore button. If enough people press it then the person can not post in that forum. Or, an invite button? Private threads....

I don't think private threads would work, people would feel excluded.
Hah hah. I like the brick idea.

Sommerauer71: Hey you.
How could any person ignore you? They just couldn't.
I think it would a great function to have. Other boards have it, they have to, you should see some of the brawls I have seen, on say, forums where people can really speak their minds. Amusing, has me looking at the threads through parted fingers sometimes.
Yet, they all have this amazing ability not to use it too often, the ignore poster function, they just know how to have a debate, have a dust up and get over it.
If I want to discuss something, say, something that I know may be controversial, I would discuss it on another board, certainly not here. But we do have an ignore poster button and I have not had to use it.
Bit like having a car that you use rarely, then you don't have it, and you want it.

Yeah, it happens quite often, seemingly. I'm like a bit of a ghost in here at times, floating around from thread to thread. Although I guess it's better than being like a turd in a giant cesspool.
I personally don't feel the need to have an option like that, but could see the benefit for others in having it available.
There's nobody here on the site that makes me feel the need to block their posts/threads, or their entire being.

Having the ability to filter forum posts by username is a wonderful feature to have and can save a lot of folks from hurt feelings, but it can also cause a great deal of confusion sometimes. It is like most everything, a duel edge but I would very much love to have that feature included here.

Without going too much into detail, I was a witness for a prosecutor many years ago and I had to go up against four lawyers for the defense. I was nervous and had never been a witness before. I had no idea what to expect. When the lawyers began their counter arguments and started trying to confuse and pressure me, something clicked in my mind and I set all four of them straight. I was just getting warmed up last night. But I am grateful that it is done with.

I don't actually feel the need to either Harry, in all honesty, I don't.
And there is nobody on this site that I want to obliterate, I like it hear.
I need to let you in on a little secret.
(It is actually in humour, but also on a mission to see how people think, I don't one really)
I'm still laughing over Para's brick idea, has me in tucks that post.

How interesting Para.
I find this fascinating, I mean around you feeling under pressure. Not too far off when a person posting is having their words torn to shreds and having all of their being torn apart in public on a forum.
They may feel under pressure. I am sure you handled yourself eloquently and well. In the short time I have interacted with you, I have seen only that.
I am fairly practiced, not unlike yourself at deliverance, I have many reports for my job that I have to write and I have been on many boards, where I have had to counteract arguments, in my career.
There is a great way of delivering a message, without it becoming rude and aggressive. Why some people cannot understand where I am coming from, and feel I am cool and aloof and a know it all.
No, it is just that I can get a message across, in a written manner that is clear and concise.
Rather like yourself.

I agree with the others here who have mentioned that an Ignore Poster feature might make some threads a bit confusing. Reading a thread might be a bit like this:
OP: How do you feel about gay marriages?
Poster 1: I think they should be afforded the same rights as anyone else in our society.
Poster 2: Ignored
Poster 1: You CAN'T be serious!! That's nonsense, and you know it. What facts do you have to back that up?
Poster 2: Ignored
Poster 1: But then he reversed his opinion, didn't he?
Poster 2: Ignored
Poster 1: And YOU'VE never felt compelled to say the same thing?
etc.
I think the best thing to do is, once having walked into a room that is unpleasant or is poplulated with a few unsavory characters, it's probably best to just step back outside and quietly shut the door. (I am not always successful at this, but I do so more often than not).

I'm good sweetie, thank you.
I like the idea of being able to block certain posters. Or the brick idea of Para's is good.

dcj22: Always the voice of damn reason. Hi Jeffrey
I've been thinking about coming up with a different username (I chose jlb684 for MY purposes, just to access the site initially; I never knew then about Forums and such, so I didn't have any thought about choosing a name that others would recall). So....
maybe I'll use your descriptive words, Dana: Voiceofdamnreason
Cheers!
