La La La I Can’t Hear You - The Ignore Feature (BETA)
In the Gulch, everyone loves, respects, and admires everyone else. We always agree with each other on everything, and we never get upset or angry. Things never get heated, and we’re always rational and our best selves. My favorite times are when we get together and sing Kumbaya. Ahh… the memories.
Eh ehm.
Sometimes however, on a very rare occasion, people just rub each other the wrong way. And, while everyone always strives to make nice, sometimes you wish you could SHUT THOSE PEOPLE OFF.
Introducing… drum roll please... “Ignore.”
“Ignore” essentially provides you the ability to anonymously, and individually, “turn off” any other Gulch member at will.
Click the “Ignore” link located underneath any post title and all activity by the originating member will effectively collapse and be hidden from your view. FOREVER.
Mwu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Some things to keep in mind:
1. This is a BETA. It’s not done and there may be bugs. Let us know if you run into anything odd.
2. When you click “Ignore”, you are electing to hide that member’s content across the site (“Ignore” is not isolated to any single post).
3. For now, the “Ignore” feature is device specific - if you ignore me (sdesapio) on your desktop, you will have to ignore me again on your smartphone or tablet.
4. You can un-ignore at anytime by clicking the “Un-ignore” link that will replace the ignore member’s content.
Go ahead, give it a shot. Ignore each other. ;)

the NSA as the real spooks and the gulch admins
as friends. . but we really need to think that each
word is being visited by both. . I sent a memo to
gulch admin the other day which may have brought
about the "ignore" feature, though it had to have
been waiting in the wings to arrive that fast. -- j
.
to block an offensive commenter -- might not last
long, but it will be used. . at one time, khalling assured
Scott or someone that any feature which is added
will indeed be used ... at that time, I believe that it
was about the meeting in the northeast. . I wonder
if the past re-appears when ignore is turned off. -- j
.
by whom and to what end?
Quacks like an NSA, walks like an NSA,... and is here to ......?????????
:)
.
those against whom it's used will be "none the wiser"
since they'll see nothing except a lack of awareness
on the part of some folks. . if they can see that at all. -- j
.
Unless you don't care OR that was intentional...
But you know me... always asking silly questions and making silly observations...
:)
side application, cut-n-paste? -- j
.
I don't SSB or FM anyone unwelcome. . by the way,
what is PM == Permanent Wave? -- j
l
my postings -- in genuine interest for the site -- made
your temporary "ignore" list, I apologize. . my view is
that I want to see it all, and select for myself.
Your Comments Are Always Good. . Thank You,
Winter!!! -- john

And since I'm only a commenter, after all, not really a contributor, it just got too hard to be here.
So, what I have to say about the Ignore feature applies to the Gulch of, say, 6 weeks ago or so. There were posts that I wanted to ignore and so I did - I went right past them. There were posters I never read.
Now done, I find two features to object to. One, an ignore hides a member's post side wide. That means that one is saying, by using the ignore, that the person never has and never will have anything worthwhile to say. That's an incredibly harsh judgment, and as for the "in the future" part, probably untrue.
The other feature is the anonymity. I know everyone can't do this, but I think that if one is going take such a drastic action as erasing someone from their world, he should be able to at least tell his target.
I also have a question. If there is a problem which requires a solution this drastic, where was admin while the rancor was building? When people are unable to communicate, or constantly irritate other members, there should be someone to shut the tow parties is a room and not let them out until they agree on how to treat each other. and yes, I mean NOT LET THEM OUT.
That may have happened, but I saw no reference to it.
I imagine I'll be here - and there - but I know there will be a rash of "ignores" and anti-ignores and spite ignores and several I haven't thought of. Sounds rather sterile, and of all the things Objectivism is, could be and should be, sterile is not among them.
How long since last post in the thread.
That is a very nice.
Thank you :)
I also could not shake the paw of that vile despoiler of all things American.
He repulses me so much I do not want to be anywhere near that lying bag of Marxist slime.
I'll even change to another radio station when he pops on with a voice bite and switch back after 30 seconds.
Would you believe I once listened to him deliver full speeches?
Now if I wanted to do Presidebt O 'Pinocchio harm regardless of the consequences, to impress Jodi Foster maybe, getting up close to shake hands would be the perfect approach.
I find it almost unfathomable that many politicians (of any and every given persuasion) have not had knives stuck in them.
when it starts or ends? -- john

Sort of a real-time Winners (?) Leaderboard... :)
