I too have changed my mind on several issues over the years, due to life experiences showing me why other perspectives have merit.
That’s why I don’t understand why people label that as “flip-flopping” and view it as a bad thing. Science teaches us that one must be willing to see things differently in light of new information.
I doubt I’ll use ‘ignore’, but I must admit that I check the user name on the post before I read it. And there have been certain users whose posts I skipped on a regular basis.
[quote=Hobie]It would be helpful if the ignoree could see how many have added him to their personal list. Not necessary who, but a count. ie. may help them vote themselves off the island or change their tune…[/quote]This might be useful. The specifics of who is unimportant. Sometimes a little ‘hint’ helps behavior modification. Of course someone could abuse it by creating several new accounts and have all of those new accounts ignore a specific user.. bumping up their ‘count’… so its usefulness may be limited.
I’m liking having this option. There’s really only one poster I can think of right now I’d ignore, and they haven’t posted on this thread (yet). When EVERY comment someone makes is an attempt to threadjack for their personal preferred political candidate, ignoring is probably the best option.
