Chacun à son goût! Just look at it as your own evaluation process--no comment on the person--no praise, no blame, so to speak. If it is not worth your time to read the post, and if the person never really engages you in a dialog about anything but just comes back with their fixed point of view, is it worth YOUR time? If the answer is NO, they are a good candidate for IGNORE, in my book. But if you are more dedicated to either the deep ACCEPTANCE of everyone (where they are at) or ARGUING with people, then better not to use ignore and just go once more into the breach.... Namaste!

Prehistoric ecosystem found in Israeli cave Scientists have even discovered a wharf rat with long silver locks. Wed May 31, 8:10 AM ET JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli scientists said on Wednesday they had discovered a prehistoric ecosystem dating back millions of years. ADVERTISEMENT The discovery was made in a cave near the central Israeli city of Ramle during rock drilling at a quarry. Scientists were called in and soon found eight previously unknown species of crustaceans and invertebrates similar to scorpions. "Until now eight species of animals were found in the cave, all of them unknown to science," said Dr Hanan Dimantman, a biologist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He said the cave's ecosystem probably dates back around five million years when the Mediterranean Sea covered parts of Israel. The cave was completely sealed off from the world, including from water and nutrients seeping through rock crevices above. Scientists who discovered the cave believe it has been intact for millions of years. "Every species we examined had no eyes which means they lost their sight due to evolution," said Dimantman. Samples of the animals discovered in the cave were sent for DNA tests which found they were unique, he said. The cave has been closed off as scientists conduct a more detailed survey. "This is a cave of fantastic biodiversity," Dimantman said. news.yahoo.com

I felt I was forced into ignore, as some posters were provoking responses from me which were not writings with which I wanted to be associated. I found it to be a blessing, and made the threads much more informative and improved my blood pressure. I ignored about a dozen offenders and improved the SI experience many-fold. TP
