I know there are people who have philosophically decided that no one should ever be on ignore; but those are better people that I.

I do tend to clear my ignore list from time to time but ultimately, I've found there are people on this forum who really aren't going to say anything worth reading; or at least what they might say that is interesting is not worth wading though endless one-line garbage posts smugly implying their superiority.

Are you talking about me?

'Cause I've grown a lot as a poster...

Probably still deserve it, though.

Everybody likes me, i would not understand why somebody would put me on the ignore list, and being always right with my superior knowledge about everything , who would not like me

Seriously i am quite a mellow guy, must be because of sitting in clouds of weed smoke when growing up.

Although i miss some of the more vocal white knights their comments was a great insight in the mind of a delusional person, one should write a paper about the similarities between white knights and cult members.

I assure you, the few people who are on my ignore list know they are on my ignore list.

Why tell them?

I'm pretty sure I'm on a few.

I have a short ignore list and most of the time cannot resist seeing what they posted anyway...lol

I respect a fair few members on here. Their arguments are usually pretty good, even when I disagree. OT has taught me a lot about debate and tolerance.

Albatross, Seaward, Ouze, Ahtam, and LordofHats always seem to make good posts.

Kronk just makes me laugh. lol

I don't use the ignore feature.

I enjoy reading folks that have a different viewpoint than I do. It gives me the chance (especially when they can articulate their reasons/points decently) to re-look my position.


I've even hit the Exalt button on a few posts I disagreed with because they were good posts.

Ah, cool. Yeah, I lean conservative on many political issues but liberal on social issues, I just tend to comment less on social issue threads.

Some people I consider their posts to be utterly pointless to read (not naming any names frazzled), or their incredible love for Nazism whilst pretending they're the most anti nazi person ever (not naming any names inquisitorehrnstein)

Man I remember inquisitor we need more characters like him again on Dakka, he was a good laugh.

Oh, I might be confusing you with Breotan or Jihadin so you might be correct that that we have little to no disagreements, I sometimes confuse posters.

I love you too..sniff. You have honestly caused me to revisit my views on the death penalty.

I find myself almost never using the Ignore function. The only person ever on it (nsdbfn) had only two posts, both of which were deleted, which tells me everything I ever needed to know about why I ignored him.

As to specific folks? Not really. Though there is one, who whenever he posts, I prepare myself to sort through his misguided posts and misquoted rules.

I was wondering how long it'd take me to show up on someone's list, and hell yeah mang.




The fun part about being ALL THE FETH over the place ideologically is I tend to be with the various different groups on different subjects. So I don't think I ever really want to beat my head against the wall when some people speak only to warm up to them later. hotsauce says some facepalm worthy gak now and then, but he's an okay guy. The one active poster I have an issue with I don't have on ignore, and the four I do were just ragingly stupid, racist, misogynist or something to the point of "No loss to me if I never see anything these morons say again"

That tends to be my criteria for ignore lists on any site, in addition to actively hostile/aggressive posters.

There are real people on this forum? O_O

Anyway, I don't think I really dislike anyone here, I get annoyed sometimes but that's about it.

No, we're all just figments of Yakface's imagination. He's just sitting at a computer typing up fictional conversations like a stream of consciousness project.

Good.. good, I almost got worried there.

I try to avoid posting in debate threads at all, since my switches get flipped waaaay too easily. I don't have anyone on Ignore, though - I just skip their posts if they're the kind that put me in a gakky mood for the rest of the day.

One of the few posters that really upsets me(who shall remain unnamed)only does so because he seems to get way too much enjoyment from yelling at hotsauceman. Seriously, just leave the kid alone. He seems depressed and confused enough as is. Still, I do find myself agreeing with this particular poster quite frequently on issues other than the worthlessness of today's yoof. Does that count?

Can't you answer that question? If I remember correctly you were quite vocal about how you were putting d-usa on your ignore list...

I'm not sure if you meant to do this...but props on the thread title for referencing one of the most creep-inducing RPGs I have ever encountered.

Anyway, as for me, I have no intention of ignoring anyone. There's a couple people around here I wouldn't mind ignoring, but I've never encountered anyone who has never had any redeeming features, and I'd hate to miss out on something.

I think Frazzled has to fall under this category for me. Back when I first started wading into the OT forums and didn't know who anybody was I read a few things by him that annoyed me and the first impression stuck around for a while.

I severely doubt anybody has much opinion of me whatsoever to be honest. I feel like most of my posts (on the whole site, not just this subforum) basically amount to me wandering into a room with a conversation going on, muttering something tangentially related to the topic at hand, then wandering out again.

One of the rules of the internet.
You're meant to tell them you've blocked or reported them for no real reason other than to feel better about yourself.

Meh, I used to find Frazzled amusing as he came across as an out of touch guy who was obsessed with Texas and wiener dogs (still is by the way) but that schtick got so old after awhile that it became annoying.

Oh. I stand corrected, I guess they don't know, after all. But yeah, I think Goliath has the crux of it. Also at some point I think you just so frustrated with how poor the signal to noise ratio is with some posters, you hope that by telling them yet another person has given up on you, perhaps you might reconsider the value of consistently posting single line posts, usually 10 words or less, whose sole purpose is to remind everyone how much cooler you are then everyone else present. "The coolest kid on a warhammer forum"; yeah, there's a trophy to display with pride.

Eventually you find common ground with people if you post with them long enough, generally.

Frazzled seems to have the opposite effect on me the more I learn about him the more frustrated I get.

This pretty much sums up my feeling on it as well actually

Nice to be named.

It's all good when we know the OT is dakka's "Thunderdome™".

Yeah... I really think it's because sometime it's hard to articulate some things and it comes out as abrasive.

The only poster I can really remember having negative feelings then coming around to would probably be Kanluwen and that's all about how he used to argue things and came across more than anything about him as a person in general. He still slips into WRONGBADFUN mode sometimes, but it's way less these days.

Kan's cool... he's just very passionate about some things politically... like I am.

And that's okay.

But we're all more than just our politics... as evidenced by the fact the me and Kan can get along in other threads on different topics.

Have an exalt for that

There really aren't too many people that I've been so completely put off by, that I put them on ignore, or think they're stupid or something. The only person that really comes to mind that I've got on ignore is due to a lack of good english skills (it may not be their first language, or they just don't care, but either way, my brain usually hurts after attempting to read one of their posts)



Can I use this thread and opportunity to make another plea to bring MattyRM back into OT? The world is a much brighter, and more interesting one with him in the OT of dakka.

Sometimes we have our mis-understandings and disagreements, but no grudges held here

I think it would be interesting to share a beer with some members here

I enjoy having arguments with quite a few of you, it's fun when you can have a back and forth of ideas as long as both sides can argue their points reasonably. Sometimes the back and forth of ideas and information is more important to me than "being right", especially when many of our topics here can have both sides be "right".

Yup. Agreed.

Although, I believe that some of us likes to snark just for the sack of snarking.

To be honest, before I really started posted in OT forum... I was half, kinda in support of a Canadian style healthcare in the US. Which is generally something of an anathema with my other political stance, as I'm sure you'd know. But, being "exposed" to different views from different people around the world on this topic actually helped me clarify my positions. So... thanks dakkanauts!
