I understand that part of your reasoning, which is fine. It makes total sense. I'm just worried about the people that won't be as rational as you would be. Kam(sorry for using you as an example Kam but your post is the perfect example) has already evidenced what I'm talking about, by saying that the function would have to allow atleast 10 spots for people to use. That is absolutely way to extreme

It would be my choice who to ignore. What is extreme about that? I want 10 spots because my first five are already locked in, and in my experience trolls who are ignored come back with new handles.

When is this list going to be reavealed? Will you be revealing it on national tv?
I just hope that people will like me

Can we realistically break down the problem.

We've got people wanting an ignore feature for one, maybe two posters?
Exactly. For me its only 1.

I demand to know who. That goes for everyone else as well.

Let's get this out in the open, it's the only way to solve the "problem".
All I want to do filter out posts for me. I have seen this implemented everywhere. This is not a new concept but I cannot believe the resistance to it. It almost seems like people are afraid their posts wont be read.

This is exactly my problem. My posts must be read.


In my book you will never be ignored because you always have great things to say, I can't say that about couple of people around here.

Oh man, I'm going to cry. That was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

How about a "get high" button?
When you're too stressed about the Knicks losing, or get wound up about something some dude posted on the internet- you hit the "get high" button-
It will freeze the UK site for 10 minutes. Any attepmt to log back on will lead you to Jessica Alba sites. Depending on your tastes, you can preset it w Itunes to play your favorite Otis Redding, Ludacris, Miles Davis, or Albert King song. Even better, Alba demonstrating some simple yoga postures like a Sun salutation too make us calm and flexible.
After 10 minutes of tunes, Alba, and your favorite elixer, maybe UK isn't something that creates anger- but is fun and reunites you w crazy Knick fans.

P.S. Not sure about the HTML code
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

Halftime of the Superbowl. I wanna upstage A-Rod.

It aint hard to tell.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Maybe we should all just yell "Serenity now" and repress our feelings. That's the way real men handle conflict.

problems w/an IGNORE feature:

1 - you will still be able to read the comments that posters you ignore post whenever someone else quotes them that isn't on your ignore list

2 - conversations become disjointed & awkward reading, ruining the experience for many posters here other than yourself

3 - Lover/Hater arguments will turn into a "let's ignore this guy" or "let's ignore that guy" gang mentality where drive by shootings will be the next logical progression.


i really think the best solution is just to police yourself & just read over comments by people you don't want to post with & ignore them on your own, or report those posts to martin & Andrew so they can decide if the offending poster deserves to be banned from the Alba thread for a period of 30 days with no Kleenex or Jergens.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

It seems that there are only two posters who want an ignore button. Why in the world do we have 11 pages of replies?!

8) Hardcore

Scroooge Arod, this is more important. Okay, I know one is Isles. I'm with you on that one. That guy is a real grade a pain in the neck. Maybe TrueBlue, Solace. Who else? I'll get it.
I just hope that people will like me

Honestly, I do no think that these arguments would turn into drive by shootings. That's ridiculous. Get real. Stabbings at the next get together, but drive by shootings? Insane.

I'm still trying to figure out if the one poster Silverfuel wants to ignore is me or Isles! I suspect it's me because I'm brutally harsh on our franchise center.

I'm a little insulted that people automatically assume that I'm on going to be on people's ignore lists.

you and TB will probably be #1 and #2. If you are insulted, you are also being a little behind the guessing curve.

1) You don't know how to count
2) If its only 2 posters that want an ignore button, the conversations won't be disjointed so what are you complaining about?

You guys are going through a lot of trouble to explain why there shouldn't be an ignore feature. It's almost as if this is going to be forced on you.
