Gayle, like some others I'm baffled that someone would feel the need to put you on ignore. I've never seen you say or do anything offensive. BUT I'm also going to repeat more of what others said, putting someone on ignore is about the person who is doing the ignoring. There are probably as many reasons why individuals use the feature as there are people who use it, but it all boils down to self-care.

If I may, please don't send a visitor message to the person who has you on ignore. That has happened to me twice(!). It was extremely triggering for me. For those of us with an abusive past that included people who did not respect our(i.e. my) boundaries having someone I placed on ignore post a visitor message brings up bad old stuff. For me it feels like the person is ignoring the boundary I tried to set and continuing to come after me.
Thanks for this!
