Because it's a matter of general respect for them and others who don't care to see that stuff anyway. For that reason, what's going between another user and youself doesn't need to be broadcasted. I think that is "manning up".

don't have an issue with who i put on my ignore, just get annoyed by some of their post, probably will remove him once he's been on "time out" for a few more days. if you don't like me, ignore me. won't hurt my feelings and it prevents you from having to deal with my BS.

what really bothers me is, when people qoute over and over the person i have ignored so i have to read their **** anyways

it seems we either "man up" or are "childish" there is no win win to this what so ever...

I understand why, I just find the whole blocking people silly. I understand many people just want to come here and relax and that is cool with me. But I was raised to confront those that bother you or you disagree with, let them know what you disagree with and why. Just blocking something out doesn't mean it doesn't happen or anything so why not just address it and move on? That to me is the real adult thing to do...

hypothetical situation: say you confront someone on the street for dressing like a whigger for having his pants below his waste and get a "piece" pulled on you and get shot (we will pray it didn't hit a vital organ). at that point i bet you were wishing you would have just ignored them and went on with life

another one, obama. you probably disagree with that curly headed ****, and he ignores all of your complaints about him. are you saying the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is not a "man" or "adult" but a "child"?

Right , I agree and do that all time, before letting them know they made the list. Actually, most of the time, I don't add them anyway. - Since I can ignore without doing so lol.

It is more akin to not calling someone on the phone, that you cannot stand.
If you have a brother in law that drives you nuts, do you call him to listen to him ?

If you don't want to call that brother in law, why would you complain about him at a family reunion. That is poking someone with a stick for no reason. If you are out to stir a pot, then you would list the names.
I will say the bulk of them are ones that won't help themselves with a problem, or complain about not getting free help quick enough. If that is the attitude of the member, I am not going to spend my time on it.

Allow me to elaborate on my position..... IMO there is a huge jump between confronting someone on a discussion forum and unsolicited confrontation. We are here for discussion about various things both f150 and not. Everyone is invited to join, as long as they follow the rules. It most closely resembles a conversation you have in person between friends and acquaintances. In a conversation in person, I do not ignore those that I disagree with, I confront and move on. Same thing here. The difference is, the guy on the street I'm not going to confront because I am not involved in any sort of conversation, spoken, written, or otherwise. So yes, of course I'm going to ignore him and many others. Its a completely different situation though.

As far as the POTUS, again its a completely different situation. Besides, him being called a child by me is probably one of the nicer things he's been called by many.
