I once put two posters on ignore. I felt they were very sarcastic, called people names, and otherwise had an in-your-face bad attitude.
However, embarrassingly enough, I couldn't stand it when they posted to a thread I was following, and instead of their post showing, there would be a little message from TOTV stating that their post was deleted due to being on my ignore list. Then the next poster would answer them, and I wouldn't know what they were talking about.
So I de-ignored them. As it turns out, one of them must have been having a bad month or something, because the subsequent posts were quite innocuous. And the other one... well, haven't seen anything from him since the de-ignoring (would you call that de-ignorance??).
I haven't usedthe ignore feature since. But I understand what mbrown is talking about. (And yes, welcome to the forum!)
