The reason that I, and I believe others, put some people on the left on ignore is that they are boring. They are "Johnny One Notes" that keep posting essentially the same thing over and over. John is further to the left than anyone I have on ignore, but he is interesting. Bill, this is a variation of the stance that concerns me. If you had typed that you put "boring" people on ignore, that can make a bit of sense from the standpoint of the thread aims but you are more honest than that and simply type that folk on the left are boring with an exception or two. That stance encourages a kind of Balkanization of the thread.
