What's the point of ignore lists?

If it was a choice to save the human race after a nuclear disaster, who would you impregnate, simoncc or mjones?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

What kind of a choice it that? Can't I have Bjork?

They are both borks most of the time, but the clock is ticking... which one would you put your cock in in order to save the humans?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I think I would rather let the human race die out... and I hope that something rather better evolved to take our place. And I think I need to go to bed now...

I fear you may have missed out on one or two fundamental points from your human biology lessons...

Gladly. As long as you don't make her howl.

It is getting to them, not least because I can take the mickey and they know full well I'll never read their supposedly 'witty retorts'. I can even speculate as to the contents of their posts (Patrick Stewart - bottom humour, AiS - sack everybody, Bonj - nope I can't to Bonj, but, then again, who can?) and others can give me marks out of ten. It is, to be honest, an endless source of trivial amusement.
Here's the full list...

you can see that I've saved an awful lot of time reading the same-old same-old. Although I can't for the life of me remember why snorri is on the list. That might be a clerical error on my part.

Dell Boy, I'm worried about your ignore list!

AfromO I can understand, but AIS and Patrick??

>And it means that some threads develop in a very strange way, you ask a valid question and never get a reply, etc.....

I routinely converse with certain 'people' but never get a reply ! - Pat Stevens is namely one of them....

I often have difficulty in understanding the conversation.

My quote was from a current thread not principally related to ignore lists, so I thought it better placed here1

As I said before, I could understand exasperation leading someone to putting simoncc on an ignore list and dealing out the same to Spindrift for his sheer odiousness but I'm afraid I don't get it the rest of the time (although I've never had such a list). As Zim said in the OP, it goes against the spirit of the forum and what's the point of going on a forum where people only toe a line you like? It's just strange.

 

[redcogs]

i have occasionally put myself on my own ignore list to save others the bother.

It assists in retaining a closed mind.

Ignore lists have nothing to do with contrary opinions, just single-note obsessives like linford who make very little effort to seriously rebut points and resort to abuse rather than discourse
