It sounds like the kind of thing that would drive me crazy if I weren't in a good place. I might feel as if you just had to be mistaken about me, it was obviously my job to straighten you out, and you weren't helping at all when you didn't listen to me.

If, instead, I were in a good place, I'd recognize it as your right to talk to me or not, listen to me or not, with or without the help of the Ignore List feature, no explanation necessary.

I don't think I'd want to be in the position of reassuring someone that I wasn't ignoring them. I guess I'm kind of weird that way -- I prefer to talk when I have something to say, not talk when I don't, and not be held accountable for what I say first to whom, or say last to whom, or don't say at all. I've broken with friends who demanded an answer from me before I had one to give them.
Thanks for this!
