Ignore list
Just curious, but is anyone in the Cellar actually have people listed in ignore list? Just wondering. I kinda played around with this feature this morning just to see what it would do.
I don't, but some folks go to it when they find folks insufferable. It is a good relief valve if you don't want to trash relationships.
I use it like the penalty box in hockey. A temporary holding place for somebody who's harshin my groove.
twice in the past i have had to put someone on the ignore list because i just couldn't resist responding to their barbs, so i decided it was better to miss any info in the posts than continue elevating myself into the levels of asshattery with angry replies. within a week or two i cooled down andi was able to remove them.
Well, the fact that Griff, BigV, and Lookout have responded to this thread mean at least
I'm not on your ignore lists. *Whew* :)
...asshattery...
There's that word again!!! I love it. Lookout, you crack me up. :lol:
Nope. I want to see it all. Good and the bad.
I tried it once, but you still see that there's stuff posted by the person that annoys you, and it's just soooo easy to override, and I'd read it anyway, and after a while Lady Sidhe rolled up her carpet and ambled off and I didn't need it any more.
I do seriously hope she and TS and their little one (I think they have offspring) are okay, though.
i've used it once for about 2 weeks when a certain person, who had been away for a time, returned and started to annoy me anew. it served it's purpose i guess, but jinx always told me when they said something stupid anyway, so i undid it. using it seemed like defeat, somehow. it's been harder, having to exercise restraint, but that person seems to be exerting some effort to not be as over the top as they were, and while i do enjoy stirring the shit more than most.....i appreciate that pointless squabbling is simply annoying.
I have exactly one person on my ignore list, and it has made my Cellar experience much happier, and I suspect, theirs, as well. Its only the Internet, for heaven's sake! :cool:
but just think of all the funny shit that she misses.
Oh? Does Urbane Guerilla post amusing things? I hadn't noticed. :lol:
The denial starts with Y-O-U, tw. You just simply cannot believe in being fair to Republicans, so you rave and slobber and disgrace and degrade and embarrass yourself in a silly, misguided, makes-the-Left-look-dumb effort to place blame for everything even unto the Ice Ages on people to the right of MoveOn.org. That is why everyone to the right of MoveOn.org thinks you're not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. That would be approximately 280 million Americans, tw.

Hey Hobbs:
This is an example of the kind of ca-ca that urges me to nominate its author for membership on my ignore list. They're part of the whole cellar, for sure, like the strings around a standing rib roast. They serve an important purpose, but I can't digest them. Maybe a dog could, but I just prefer to clip them out and throw them in the trash, where they belong.
Never used it. Figure it would be like listening to one end of a phone conversation having posts missing from the thread. :headshake

Lumberjim likes to think he is the most annoying Cellarite when, in fact, it is a rotating honor that he only occasionally holds. There are other Cellarites that can be much more annoying.
Dang. Should have saved that for random Cellarite facts. Oh well.
i have never used it, sometimes posts really annoy me but then perhaps the person who wrote that may say something i enjoyed reading elsewhere.
Despite the reputation this place has i have never found myself to be picked on, or picking on anyonelse. But its nice to know its there.. just in case.
The picking is usually reserved for people who single themselves out for the honor. Ways to single oneself out for being picked on include:
1) Whine too much (with insufficient eloquence, apparently - Gods know I'm one of the most frequent whiners here, but I try to be literate about it)
2) Be argumentative with no backing
3) Be utterly incoherent and call it art
4) Be too conservative/liberal
There are many more, but these will guarantee you a boot to the head once in awhile.
3) Be utterly incoherent and call it art
Uh oh.

Yeah, if James Joyce ever came around here, I'd put him on "IGNORE" right away! Had a bad run in with the dude in a college lit class. :3_eyes:
Ahhhh, yes....that's much better. Read quite enough of that assbag.
Slang ignoring himself...sign #158 that The Apocalypse is near.

Brilliant.
Never used it. The ignorance is part of the bliss.

BEEPING Brilliant!
Made my day, with only about 49 minutes to spare.
Ahhhh, yes....that's much better. Read quite enough of that assbag.
What time is it? Hall of Fame time.

BigV, I would never dream of putting UG on an Ignore list, although reading his, erm, "writings" requires a side of Mylanta. Having a daily dose of him serves to remind me why I registered to vote against Republicans. :sick:
