Interesting question.

I have never put somone on ignore, and I dont even know if the other person would know that I had done it.

But at the end of the day you have to look after yoursefl and if someone is sending you PMs that are upsetting, or if they cannot undersand what you say etc, and if it feels better for you to ignore them i would say "hit the button now"

As for losing the relationship................... well it may not come to that if they dont know you have done it. The admin would have to answer that. Or maybe you could put a friend on ignore and get them to send a test message to see what happens.

But sky, if you want to ignore someone and you feel you have tried to sort it out and failed then I would say you have every right to put the person on ignore. Look after you.
