For Everyone Who Disagrees With Me...

[Vinayaka]

I kind of think the whole forum would get pretty boring after a while once it's implemented.

Even more boring. Shucks.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Even more boring. Shucks.

Yeah what makes forums interesting is the conflict and the drama.

Take that away by sanitizing it with censorship and cloistering oneself , and you got pfttt.....

Please put me on ignore if you don't agree with my views.

That way I'm at liberty to preach and make claims freely without any concern for criticism. I can also still read what you say and criticize it but you won't be able to see and refute what I say.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

My disagreement with some of your views does not mean those views of yours I disagree with are wrong.

The ones I have on ignore are there because they are annoying twits.

 

[Quagmire]

I have myself on ignore.

 

[SalixIncendium]

I have nobody on ignore, not even ****. Why should I give you special treatment?

Because lots of people have called me "special."

 

[sun rise]

I have myself on ignore.

When you stop shooting yourself in the foot and begin dancing, you should remove yourself from your ignore list.

 

[Secret Chief]

twits

Good job a isn't next to i on the keyboard.

 

[Secret Chief]

True, but then you're not the only staff member that is special.

 

[Heyo]

Maybe a reverse blocking feature for threads that you make and you can block certain posters from participating in your own threads.

Something like commentary is closed for this particular person.

You mean like posting in DIRs?

And I was just considering to remove people from my ignore list.
It is a risky move but I have confidence that at least some of them may have learned how not to trigger me.

Every so often i will remove everyone from my ignore list.
It is easy enough to put them right back on if need be.

Yeah but I might get a few warnings in the meantime. Most of the guys (it's almost exclusively guys) have tendency to insult my intelligence in such a way that I respond in style - and those little snowflakes run and report me. (I have to assume that as that isn't made known. But anyway, it is safer for everyone if I don't get insulted.)
But I think I'll take that risk.
Warning to staff: possible work incoming.

Attempts to insult my intelligence speaks more about the one doing the insulting than it does about me. There are likely many here that are more intelligent than me, and most here are more educated. If it makes you feel like a better person to throw insults my way, have at. It's your karma, not mine.

No one can make me feel insulted unless I allow them to. No one has that permission.

That's a very good principle to live by. I try to also. But even if I am not really "insulted", I non-the-less reserve the right to retaliate. Especially to remind them that they can't bully everyone. But, because they are bullies, they can't take it in as they deal it out and feel hurt and report me. And (back) to the ignore file they go.

Bullies do what they do to create conflict and to get a reaction. They feel a sense of superiority as a result of achieving these, especially when bullying in front of others. In my experience, achieving neither has a greater impact on them than retaliation and ultimately leaves them with egg on their face in the eyes of others.

That said, bullying is against the rules here, and it's better to report these people to the staff and let them handle it than it is to bring harm to yourself by stepping down to their level.

Let's see if I can get around this by writing between the lines with invisible ink.

Salixincendium is a great moderator

You should all bend your ear to hear his great Wisdom

Ignoring a moderator may or may not be a violation of forum rules
what they can't see they can't enforce!
Thank you for your sage advice!

<edit to add> OK, tested it, and only one line of invisible ink (the last one) will show up in the message when posted, so make sure your invisible ink counts! You will have to use your imagination for the first two lines of disappearing ink!

I don't want to throw any insults at you.

However, there are some bananas in the cupboard that are getting old and I'm not sure what to do with them... It might make me feel like a better person to throw those at you instead. I would accept any karma from throwing these, but if I throw them in a non attached manner....

Banana loaf is a tasty way to use up old bananas, but none for @SalixIncendium

Or you could make banana bread.
