"Ok, as long as we are being honest here. I personally have issues with some people. It is my issue, I know this. So I value the ignore feature. The ignore feature has always been there as a good tool but before it did not stop 'whoever' going in your thread. I viewed 'whoever' as harrassing me. I would start a thread and then they seemed to purposely go in the thread I had started with their viewpoint that would trigger me. It would trigger me so much that I would then delete my thread that I was desperate for support for. This happened over and over again, I would start a thread and then 'whoever' would post in my thread even though I had sent a PM asking them not to reply to my threads. So the PM didn't work and I continued to post threads asking for help and then deleting it when 'whoever' replied.
The new feature, of blocking 'whoever' from my threads means I now feel comfortable enough not to keep deleting my threads. I can post knowing I will no longer be harrassed. I can get the support (in my thread) that I need with no fear of 'whoever' posting in it.
Please keep this feature."~~~Pegasus

I have also had similar experiences as described by Rose Panachee, it is downright awful!!
I have pm'ed "whoever", I have returned their repetitive visits to my page; I have expressed the need to be more "Private" on Open Threads...I do not have a VM Board, that I may not see rude, and confrontational remarks, and, I, more often than not; will reply to a post I read via Private Message; as I do not want to trigger another (should they find my reply triggering on an Open Thread.)
When I do post on someone else's thread, I pm them and ask them if they want me to Delete?
This is a matter of Respect.
We are all individuals with unique Triggers...and this is a "Supportive" Community.
I love this feature.
It protects me. I feel a bit safer on the site now.
I'm with Pegasus, here, and many others...Please keep this feature?
Keep peace? ~~~~~~~~~~Pax? Virago
