Global ignore

[patrickl]

Odd that someone would ignore you.

Is there a list for this or did you check a the profiles of likely "ignorees"? You might have missed pbj there.

[shmokes]

There's no list.  You have to think of the usual suspects on your own and then click individually on the person's name to see his profile.  In there it will say, "Ignored by:  x members".  There could very well be someone I'm not thinking of who is ignored by more people, but I doubt it.

Yeah I guessed so. Like I said, I looked up pbj and (just now) ark_ader. They have 1 too.

The unsettling part about it is that the people I think would be ignoring me apparently aren't, so it leaves me wondering who the hell I pissed off without knowing about it.

I'm pretty sure Lag has me on ignore, so the other one has me somewhat vexed. Oh well....people who use ignore are necessarily ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- anyway, right?

Maybe its a new game?

See who has the most entertaining reaction to being ignored ...

Or, rather, ask who has the most entertaining reaction, since you can't actually see the person's reaction anymore.

So, at this point, ChadTower and Dartful Dodger are in the lead with three apiece.  Wunder comes in a close second and DrewKaree and I have only one each.  I need to step my game up.

You and I could put each other on ignore to topple Wunder's attempt at ignore dominance.....or we could just go on being adults about ourselves

[DrewKaree]

This concept has me wondering something.  There are topics that are considered taboo.  Many accuse Wunder of being racist.  The big picture is that "in order to fight racism, we need to educate people about it".

Isn't ignoring him effectively saying "we don't really give two steamers about racism because we're willing to pretend Wunder doesn't even exist and therefore won't address any of his points - thereby failing in the mythical goal of "education" as a cure?

[shmokes]

Drew, you can't just cross out the word.  You have to replace it with something or your sentence doesn't make sense.  Your post-fu is weak.

As for your thing about racism, I think it's a valid point, but only to a point.  There does come a time when ignoring it probably makes more sense, in the same way we ignore other nutters.  The idea that white people are inherently superior to black people is as absurd as the flat-earth or the young earth.  All three have been casually accepted as not even up for consideration in the past, and it's just taken longer for each to reach a point where such a large portion of society has come to accept the ridiculousness of the ideas that the hangers-on fade into irrelevance.  So who knows?  Maybe you do more damage even dignifying Wunder's racism with debate.  Maybe that serves as much to establish his position as something legitimately worth arguing about as anything else.

Personally, I err on the side of intellectual debate, but that probably has more to do with my addiction to debate than any high-minded ideals.

Where do you get this shite from?

Are you implying that I EVER implied that whites are inherently "superior to blacks"? You weren't really clear about the connection.

My posts about race have always pretty much revovled around controllable attributes such as the way a person acts or behaves or speaks or conducts themselves....never about something inherently racist like disliking skin color, which is far beyond a person's control. Yet there is always this nexus purported between me and that latter notion.

It has everything to do with what Drew pointed out. Painting me as a "racist" merely allows the conversation to meet an abrupt end, without actually delving into the issues. This despite the left always harping on about how we desperately need a honest discussion on race in this country.

Can't have it both ways my friends.

[shmokes]

WunderCade, we've been through this so many times.  Can't you just look back at our previous discussions instead of making me track down the same old threads to support my position over and over again?  You know the threads I'm talking about (e.g., you have to hold your nose to vote for a black man with a muslim name -- both his skin color and name something given him at birth, having nothing to do with his behavior whatsoever).

[Dartful Dodger]

I now have four.  Can anyone beat that?


What's the opposite of ignore? Reading through the posts in this thread it looks like someone has a school boy crush on me too.


...Sorry dude, I'm not interested.


<edit>

Now it's five!!!

That makes me an ace!  ...or is it an *ss?

I finally checked and I am being ignored by 1 person. If I had to guess, it would be McCoy.

I keep alternating between 1 and 0.   

Every now and again you say something interesting ...

I'm ignoring you currently because your avatar is retarded and hurts my eyes....

QFT!

Please get rid of that damn thing.

[Dartful Dodger]

I'm back down to 4.

I must be slipping.

[shmokes]

My score is -1, I suppose, cos I'm back down to zero and ignoring one person.
