This is the response I received from the webmistress concerning the ignore feature. I urge everyone to email the webmistress and ask for this feature. This is the only board that I know of that charges a fee to post. So, there is no reason why SI should not include this. As I stated before, each individual may choose to ignore a poster so freedom of speech is not compromised.
It is always refreshing to hear a different point of view but this case is different. We have two people who are abusive, sarcastic and rude to others with their relentless bashing of this company, from morning to night, day after day, month after month. When will it stop? Think of what it would be like to read this board without having to read through thousands of negative, misleading, irritating and insulting posts by Gonorth and Dagan! Email the webmistress and demand this feature! You are paying to post on this thread! If many of you ask for this feature, SI might be more willing to install this feature in a timely manner. This is the only way to get rid of Gonorth and Dagan.!
