Foxlette, Thanks for your kind words... Their posts give me a headache, that's not weak, it's just the facts.. Was probably more mature at 18 (way back then...) than you are now, IMO. We post opinions, and they call us names. I see you're in that camp also. I really don't care what you think, honey. Why don't you visit England. I hear they still do fox hunts there...normally I am against them, but I'll make an exception in your case. >> Message #16563 from Foxlette at Mar 6, 2003 2:26 PM I think the emotionally weak have to use the ignore button [like I need a button to completely ignore a poster] I also think it is quite immature to say, 'oh, just in case you haven't notice, I have put you on ignore and I've had the last word, so there' to each their own

Actually, I disagree with the first premise. It's like ad-blocking, or similar. If you know that certain posters are never going to provide anything worth reading, then it just saves time to tune them out. They're still happy, because they can vent, but you don't waste time even glancing at their posts. It's especially efficacious when you know that their only motive for posting is to annoy or irritate, as is most certainly sometimes the case. After all, I wouldn't listen to the curse-strewn mouthings of a drunken tramp IRL... why read them here? LOL.
