    freedom of speech isnt only baout what we want to hear........ ......... going way of topic is a whole different story. ........ ....... ............. To ignore a whole thread just go into my subscriptions. hit no. done! and you can change it back as easily.

     So, Desan, judging by the cumulative effect of all your messages, it seems natural enough to ask:  are you avoiding certain members who post on these forums? Surprise

     

    I suppose this is your sensitive way of communicating that thought to them? Stick out tongue

     

    We get it.  Believe me!  We get it.

    Would it be nice? Sometimes, most definitley. But do I think it'll ever happen? Not in a million years. You can keep trying to go to staff about this Desan, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. One thing I am thankful for around here now is the fact that you can see who has started what threads. It didn't used to be like that, so anytime you opened a thread you were taking a gamble of it being by someone you were trying to ignore or avoid. The truth is not everyone likes each other.. we are mostly all adults around here so everyone should be well aware of that. And we shouldn't all be expected to like one another.. that would be a ridiculous desire on behalf of the site. However, just because I choose to stay off of some people's threads, doesn't mean I am being disrespectful to them. My mental ignore is a beautiful thing and something I use quite often. Trust me, if I didn't use it and allowed my emotional side to come out towards some people, it would be disrespectful. Therefore, I use my common sense and better judgement to just ignore their threads entirely rather than reading them knowing they're most likely just going to get a rise out of me. Trust me, no one around here is worth me getting banned over. So while I think you have every right, Desan, to go to staff about this, I definitley wouldn't get my hopes up about it happening. Until something does, I would suggest doing how I do and ignoring the threads mentally by those you wish to stay away from. It does get a little trickier when those people respond to other threads, but still.. just mental ignore. It's not easy, but it's the only solution I can give you right now.

    Seems kinda neurotic that someone out there would be THAT irritating  so as to cause this sort of discussion (?!)
