No matter what anyone says, it hurts to be ignored or blocked by someone, especially after the person has publicly attacked you on a thread, then immediately put you on 'ignore'. To me that is just a form of bullying. It is often manipulative, too...like 'See - I had the final say in this & now I'm ignoring you!' Once, a long time ago, someone put me on ignore and I had absolutely no clue as to what I had done. Then that person made a post about how I had triggered her...I still had no clue. Her thread was closed by admin, but I felt very embarrassed and definitely bullied. I left PC for a long time after that.
