Hey, I do read their posts. It just gets rather exhausting sometimes.

Edit: JohnT, I didn't know you were a conservy. You need to troll more. Something like "fry all shoplifters" will do fine.

BTW, you might notice that Ben Kenobi, Imran Siddiqui, etc. are not on my list. That's because they tend to make intelligent posts.:P

Its probably not the best idea to publish your ignore list.
Only going to cause trouble.

I can't understand many of those though, quite a few are decent posters, a handful are interesting due to their inherent humour value.

At times I wish I did. But if I actually put those people on the ignore list, I'd be so damn curious about what they said in their posts. It would not actually save me any time or annoyment at all.

Not really, given his history. What, do you think they're going to perma-ban him? Like that matters!

I don't ignore anyone on the forums. I do, however, often ignore people who use ASCII art or other stupid stuff on IRC (and Poly has an IRC server).

October of '99, and he's still here.

I think Ming The Merciless is turning into Ming The Pussycat.

I only have 4 people on ignore.

2 of them because their posts are always poorly spelled gibberish that contribute nothing.
1 because they always post off-topic stuff that is neither funny nor inflammatory and is always attention-seeking and fishing for sympathy.
1 because they are the most elitist, puffed-up, snobby and pretentious idiot I've ever come across.

Not mentioning any names, of course....

If I always (and I mean always) skip over someone else's posts and never read them it's far simpler just to put them on my ignore list. That way it frees up screen space for another one and I don't have to bother downloading their avatar or any images they may have put in their worthless post.

I forgot.
Where's the President of the United States from?

How about the majority leader of the Senate?

Speaker of the House of Representatives?

Now does that refresh your memory as to who got their asses kicked?

I hope I'm not one of those two. I have a tendency to misspell things when I drink to much.
