So do you even know if you are someone's ignore list? Are you notified that someone put you on ignore?

I have never put someone on ignore either, so I have no idea. I just figure if someone says something mean to me I listen and let the person vent it out.
I just figure that if someone doesn't like me and they tell me and I see they might have been abused or have a certain issue with being social, well then why not let them practice telling me off? I know it sounds strange but I have to consider that this is, after all, a support site. So if someone tells me off and I know they may need to learn how to set boundaries than by letting them do that with me it can be one way I can give them support.

And if something bothers or upsets me that is a form of support too, because with what I have I need to know what things bother or trigger me so I can work on them.
That is one reason I came here, to honestly put myself out there and see what happens. And if I know someone is angry at me, I always appologize and try to find out why. I can't help someone else if I don't understand how I hurt them and the opposite is true, maybe someone else misunderstood me or had a bad day and I was just in the right line of fire so to speak, I learn from that too and hopefully so do they.

I like having friends where we agree to disagree too and yet we check in to make sure everything is ok, I think that is cool and it allows us to just be who we are and have our own opinions and yet still be friends and agree on other things too. It is impossible to agree with everyone on everything and we should be able to voice our personal opinions without feeling that we are going to be hated or ostrasized in some way.

In general PC is a very supportive friendly site, some may need extra help and understanding than others and we must all keep that in mind. If there is a small group within the site that needs to be that way than so be it, it may be the only way the people within that group can function or feel safe somehow. And if someone comes across that then it is best to just know it and move on to people here that are more supportive in other ways.

While it is important to be able to use the site and get support and give support it is important to remember that as is said here in another post each of us are unique and have unique needs.

LOL for all I know I could be on several ignore lists, it would not be the first time in my life. But usually I come across that when someone tries to use me and it doesn't work or if they lie and I don't believe them, or if I call them out when no one else will, like reporting child or animal abuse. I can think of a clique where one of the higher clique members was neglecting her animals. Everyone knew I am the type that will have the courage to actually say something so they talk to me about it. I say something and the person was embarassed into taking better care of the animals and after that was accomplished they all went on with the clique and ignored me. I don't care who is who and it is not the be all and end all to be in a clique, I am not afraid to call a spade a spade. I would rather children get better attention and animals get fed and watered and housed properly than to be with people who notice but are too afraid to call it.

I don't have experience on other sites but from what I hear this site is more people friendly and supportive.
