I have a friend from high school that posts stupid right wing garbage everyday, he was cool in high school so i just hid the crap.
How do you guys ignore jlprk? I understand not agreeing with his takes and I can kind of see the trolling argument (although I don't agree) . . . but as far as creativity and the use of the english language to express his thoughts . . . he is one of a kind. I can't help but click when I see he posts just to see what he is going to type. I don't know, probably just me, but I feel he is the Dennis Miller of the board. Sidenote: Been posting with jlprk and maris since ESPN days (early 2000s). On ESPN there was a running theory that jlprk and maris were the same people. I bought into it at the time but no longer think that. It is just weird those two are again linked together. BTW-hate this idea for a thread (yet I respond, I know). Who isn't reading this thread wondering if they are being ignored. I'm pretty sure I rub people the wrong way sometimes, but I don't want to read I'm being ignored and then twisting the knife by explaining why. For me, ignorance is bliss . . . and as Glenn Close would say in Fatal Attraction "I'm not going to be ignored"
I think jlprk is just very wrong most of the time. MARIS61? He's never been the same since being abducted by aliens.
I used to block Lamer because she/he was always so mean to me in response to everything I posted. He/she hasn't posted here in awhile so I'm not sure if I still ignore him/her anymore. It's a pretty lame feature anyway. You still see that they posted.
Nobody right now. I use it more as a temporary fix when someone is getting annoying. Usually, after a day or two I unblock them. In the OT section, Maris is a repeat visitor, in the regular ripcitytwo section RoyToy and a couple others that tend to post fifteen times repeating the exact same thing, those guys get blocked from time to time, but as soon as I'm in a better mood (happens quickly) they are back.
The people on my ignore list I would like to keep up with, but post too much religion, politics, or negativity. If I unfriend them, they will want to know why. By just hiding them they can message me if it is important.
