u guys thought the Lover/Hater wars were bad, pretty soon this board will undergo the Ignore Wars. 
Someone brought up a very good point I hadn't thought of. You guys keep saying "just ignore them without having an ignore feature" but how would ignoring someone without the "feature" be any different then having an ignore feature?
the only thing i'm concerned about is the ignore feature being abused & having people start ganging up on posters they don't like just because they can't handle having their opinions challenged by someone else... it gives people way too easy a copout rather than discussing topics & debating them, they instead choose to ignore anything & everything a particular poster will respond with... that IMO will degrade the level of discussions more than it would help elevate them.
if the list of offensive words could be expanded, we could cut out some of the profanity laced tirades, which may help w/some of the complaints that certain posters have about this forum... another option is to include a "report this entry to the mods" function, which might help cut down on some of the intentionally trolling type posts that others have a complaint about also... if a certain poster gets reported enough times, i'm sure martin or Andrew could take appropriate action from there on out... i agree w/u that certain posts are just meant to get under someone's skin & that's a shame... it's not only isles that does this, so i don't see why people are singling him out here... i've seen more baiting & insults thrown around by some of the so-called "Lovers" around here than anyone else... how come those posters never get called out for it but islesfan does? just because he doesn't like Isiah or what has happened to this team ever since he took over? that's ridiculous.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
