I can't stand people who use ignore aggressively personally. Are some people really that weak-minded that they will get offended or triggered for somebody having a different viewpoint in a debate forum? People need to grow up or get out.

While it's true that the ignore option has some perfectly legitimate uses, those who abuse the ignore option are no better than the trolls and drama starters that plague many forums and message boards.

Personally, ignore is a last resort to me. I've had people outright attack and start fights with me over things that I've said. Do I give a damn about their meaningless attacks or worthless opinions about me? No. I only ignore if all other options are depleted and somebody is a legitimate threat to my well being. I only wish others were more like me in this sense.

I guess I shouldn't complain though. People like this do all of the work of filtering me out of their lives for me which is more of a benefit to myself anyways.
