Ive never used ignore and a part of me wants to avoid doing that. But I can understand and accept that others do want to use it. Thats OK.

I just want honest open replies and not ones that tie me up in someone elses knots. Its just that it defeats the whole object of the exercise if people ask if they can reply then reply with a whole series of unrelated and off base questions.

Its confusing and debilitating for me. Makes me stop in my tracks and I just get confused.

Im not saying people have to agree with how I feel, i just want them to share their experience if they want to and not keep asking if they can.
