I understand that when they post on others' threads and being quoted from others is something beyond control. But what's the point if they can read and post on my threads while on my ignore list? I feel people on the ignore list have leverage over the ones who ignored them because hidden posts aren't mutual. I cannot read their posts or address them, while they can post on my threads and give their unwelcomed opinions. Some people I just cannot stand in these forums, and I try to avoid them as much as possible. But they can follow me in my threads!!!. What options I have in this case? Either I message them personally, which won't happen, because I don't want to talk to them in any way. Second, to remove them from the ignore list, which is triggering for me, and I will be in confrontation with them. The third option is .... I will do this one most likely.

Actually, I'm not sure why this feature is there. People on the ignore list can even post visitor messages, but of course they are hidden from me. If this feature wasn't there, there wouldn't much complain about it.
