Now I have Ignore, Unable to Push the Button

Thanks to certain ones of you for words of encouragement. Today I did it. No regret.

was it worth it? i bet it was so worth it

Who said that? I can't see you.

Your glasses look cloudy.

Seed...people ignore mean people, not you!!

im sure there is someone who ignores me. has to be

People ignore for reasons of their own, for many different reasons. Hillary ignores anything that she does not want to deal with, ignores that which would make her confront her own preconceived ideas which may be wrong ideas, and many others do also. This is part of why Ignore harms the dynamics of debate. Others ignore because they are sure that the speaker is an idiot, however they should know that even the idiot is right some of the time. Other ignore because they have limited interests, though it is in the collectives interest to encourage them to learn about new things. And so on.

The ignore function at a2k is in place to empower the individual, it however works against the a2k collective in the long run.

what? I can't see you....

That's because Hawkeye got in the way

Oh? You think him opaque, then?

Nah. More transparent.

And a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. You just never know when.

Well Seed - if you miss Roger - you'll just have to practice until your aim improves!

Naw if he gets away then good on him!

LOL. I think I heard an echo

haven't used the ignore button for anyone - hope i never will (but never say never) .
it is always easy just to bypass any post - good or bad .
perhaps someone i'm bypassing now will bring up an interseting point/topic sometime in the future - and i may be interested in it .

the way i see it , using the BUTTON is like deciding to live in a gated community .
lots of problems may be going on just outside the gate and you are not even aware of it , but once you leave the gated community ... ...

... you get beaten, mugged, and stabbed.

Welcome to the dark side

Where's Massagato when you need him?

I just pulled the trigger on two more insufferables.

Life is good. Mwaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!
