Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame. // Super-Ignore [Threads merged]

What a bunch of emotional wimps.

Or maybe people simply want a baseline level of decency in their communities and conversations…

I don't have anybody on ignore, but I'm good at scrolling...

*bump*

NYC, maybe we should merge this with the super ignore thread, or vice versa?

This was the thread I was looking for. I recalled that Griff started it but couldn't recall the title.

I've never put another poster on ignore, and tbh I think those who do are a bunch of weenies.

And the ones who feel the need to announce their ignores are super-weenies.

I'm listening to a 70s channel, this thread gets bumped to the top, and what song comes on next...

I had 2-3 people on Super Ignore; but, it effed up the site.

Now I’ve become much more consistent about scrolling rapidly through posts.

If one of the resident ‘Bo-siding contrarians is yapping away, it’s time for Super Fast Scrolling.

I’m a big fan of these guys

Bump to merge with shame shame shame thread

Super ignore is a great feature. The need to tell everyone who you have on super ignore seems petty though. Just click the button and move on. I use the feature very sparingly because I actually like having my viewpoints challenged.

I’m thrilled to have my viewpoints challenged. Avoiding that is not why I ignore people.

Is a super-weenie like a foot-long hotdog?

Which begs the question:
A) Chili, slaw, mustard and onions
B) Pickles or pickle relish?
C) Ketchup on a hotdog?
D) Veggie dogs come as close to resembling meat-based fare than any other plant-based "fake" meat products

Yeah, the whole “why are you afraid of opposing viewpoints” bullshit is most often trotted out by the same disingenuous, mundane, concern trolls and flamers who have shown over literally five+ years or more, that no evidentiary avalanche is large enough to change their mind. Yet, I’m suppose to respect their baseless feels? Nah. I don’t need the intellectually dishonest opinions of those 3-4 shit stirrers.

A few good faith posters have their reasons for feeding the trolls - you’re entertained, fine. I use this site more as a information/news/zeitgeist clearinghouse; for interspersed interest in lawyerly breakdowns (though that is fading in an expedited fashion); to occasionally share knowledge in my area of expertise; and to occasionally spit a modicum of my cynical bile, so that I’m tolerable (even pleasant sometimes) to those who care about me, work with me, and need my professional guidance. Sifting through the shit-posting of fake lawyers, and the ilk, is not required for my purposes, nor does it improve my experience, nor can I recall ever learning something of actionable value from these posters.

Certainly that’s not the only reason people put others on the list. It is certainly a reason that I have seen cited several times here though.

 

[MOUNTAINH33L]

I had a few MAGA cultists on super ignore, but then I got bored and unignored them. What can I say? I miss those sad marks sometimes.

Or maybe people simply want a baseline level of decency in their communities and conversations…

My determining factor isn’t so much decency as it is, “Does this poster make the discussion better in any substantial way?”

It’s a low bar, but quite a few fail to clear it.

Yeah, super ignore can goof up the site functioning. I moved everyone I had on super ignore to regular ignore and it seems the best balance between not having to read the drivel and board functionality.

That is a very hurtful comment. Waaaaa.

 

[ZenMode]

Zen added to the ignore list. It's up to 6 now.
