I have you on ignore because I would not want to receive a PM from you- I read people's posts and make a decision based on something they say and plop them on my ignore list and never take them off (any name calling, any vituperation, any demonizing of another poster, and you would have ended up on my list- NOT that I remember why you are there, because I don't) - it works nicely for me. That is pretty much the only reason I use ignore; my use of it has nothing to do with whose posts I read- though I do ignore some posts, but it has nothing to do with the ignore function on SI (so you are mistaken on how I use this function). I have no idea why you care who I have on ignore, or how I use this function, but now you know- since you obviously do care enough to mention it. I never check who has me on ignore and who doesn't, so I would never have known if you had me on ignore or not, nor would I care.
I generally answer posts that are written to me, not always, but generally, and you posted to me, so I answered you. I think I've even responded to your before, so the below seems a little odd- but maybe that's because you assumed I was always ignoring you- but I can't remember ever ignoring you when you've posted to me. If I did, it was merely because I wasn't interested, not because I did not read your post.
Perhaps you feel there is some sort of slight or wrong done to you in my having you on ignore and you are (perhaps) still annoyed about my having called you on a misstatement of my position (otherwise why jump in, and why remember it?). I'm sorry if these things bothered you, but I'm not taking you off ignore, and I will continue to call you on misstatements of my positions if you make them. Although I will continue to read your posts, I suppose it is possible you would be happier if you didn't read mine.
"I've never had you on ignore, but you currently have me on ignore, except when you want to engage in conversations like this.
