this guy, i will not say who, called me a bitch several times in his posts because i was responding to his posts in an articulate manner. then when i left another post thanking my friends for saying something to him for insulting me, he puts me on ignore and then proceeds to call me a bitch in spanish. well since he put me on ignore, and then left another post to which i could not respond. that, in my opinion, is pure cowardice.

I don't agree or disagree; I simply don't give a shit.

i agree, i've got loads of people on ignore...and i can't quite work out why they put me there. never upset them in the slightest

damn girl. lol. i have some good posts on the rave board as well.

Post 8 by Blondie McConfusion (Blah Blah Blah) on Wednesday, 02-Jan-2008 15:52:58

i second what becky said.
here's a thought. instead of bitching about it, put them on ignore and then you don't have to deal with it?

There are only 2 times I'll ever put someone on ignore and those are

*when people I don't even know from Adam say hi and immediately ask me for my messenger contact or other private info. I'm not gonna be someone who just gets added to someone's list just so they say they have 600 contacts. If I have you on my list, I know you or are at the very least aquainted with you in some form and you don't annoy the piss out of me.
*when someone's actions just get me to the point where I put them on ignore because I may say something to them I may regret later. I've made that mistake before and really messed things up. Also sometimes the software that's used to control the system may put someone on ignore who really aren't ignoring you, I remember going through my list of folks ignoring me and I didn't even recognize half the names I saw there. So sometimes it's not just people putting others on ignore for what seems like stupid reasons. and really, like Becky rightly pointed out, I really don't care if someone puts someone else on ignore. I know a few people who have me on it and the feeling's mutual, so there you go. That's life.

true true. that actually happened to me once about the software saying someone put me on ignore who really didn't. and anyway, i was thinking it over while enjoying a cup of hot mint tea and i have come to this conclusion. so this person put me on ignore. his loss. he is missing out on getting to know a good person. even though i may bitch and may seem narrowminded at times, i really am a cool person once u get to know me.

If someone ignores you...that's there perogative and there loss as well.

Why not just ignore them too. It's quicker than writing a rant.

Someday I'm going to put myself on ignore and see what happens.

i have actually done that before. when u do that, u just dont see posts and qn's written by yourself.

Post 15 by James (Generic Zoner) on Thursday, 03-Jan-2008 11:04:13

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I allways thought the "rant board" was a place to vent a little frustration.

Post 16 by fuzzy101 (The master of fuzz!!) on Thursday, 03-Jan-2008 12:35:15

All I have to say is that if you don't like this topic, then you don't have to look at it. It would be a lot quicker then saying you don't care.

Post 17 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Thursday, 03-Jan-2008 12:42:48

Yes, the board is here for ranting. Thus we call it, "the rant board."

Post 18 by blbobby (Ooo you're gona like this!) on Thursday, 03-Jan-2008 16:16:23

Besides, you can't stay mad all the time…Most of us can't.

true. but it is a good outlet though lol

Post 20 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 05-Jan-2008 22:23:07

I totallly agree with fuzzy 101, often the original posts don't bother me, it's the ones who respond by saying i don't give a ... that bother me. I mean, somania didn't mean any harm in posting this topic. I never understood why people who don't give a ... reply just to say they don't give a .... I think people's view is, if it doesn't interest us, it's pointless so why post it. I see quite a few posts that i don't give a darn aboiut, but it doesn't make me angry, just because the post has nothing for me. well, as for people putting you on ignore, I was surprised that no ore had me on ignore than they did, but i have 2 who have me on ignore, one i don't remember ever talking to on here, the other, yeah, but she doesn't even post on the boards lol. anyway, when i see 2 people who have me on ignore, i just laugh and put them on ignore right back lol. as for it being a loss when someone puts you on ignore, well when someone actually does put me on ignore, I suppose it's no great loss to them not to see my posts, lol. but i agree with fuzzy 101 totally. after all, if i post something, i wouldn't be very happy if someone replied by telling me they didn't give a ... or stop whining, no wait, that would just give me an excuse to put them on ignore, lol. anyway somania, it's replies like that that keep me from starting my own topics on here anymore except for the geeks board when i have a question about something.

Oh and you can rant without name calling.

I feel bored so maybe i'll um um poll a julia and if anyone says anything mean or hits on me I'll put them on ignore and see how many people i can ignore. wow the zone would get quiet. If you gve a

I feel sorry for you.

Post 28 by Blue Velvet (I've got the platinum golden silver bronze poster award.) on Sunday, 06-Jan-2008 13:58:06

Well I knew the result of what I said would cause wonder weirdo to put me on ignore, and I was right. She put me on ignore for board posts, qn's, and everything else. Yea!

Post 29 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Sunday, 06-Jan-2008 16:53:57

all i can say to that is... wow.

Post 30 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Sunday, 06-Jan-2008 22:59:54

People can ignore me on this thing...but I don't care because I have friends in real life.
lol

Post 31 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 07-Jan-2008 11:06:42

u actually have a point about that. this is just a chat system

Post 32 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Monday, 07-Jan-2008 13:57:56

yup, Lol.

Post 33 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Monday, 07-Jan-2008 22:24:40

well, I don't care who does put me on ignore, i mean i haveabout 45 people on my ignore list now. somanea, not sure if i agree or disagree, but it's pretty rotten for someone to keep calling you that word after putting you on ignore. I try not to say anything directly about the people i have on ignore. but as for me, i'd rather people just put me on ignore than give me a huge lecture, or harrang me aboiut how i get on their nerves. I put people on ignore for swearing a lot, inparticular, saying the f word, but i'm going to have to stop doing it, because when someone gets really vulgar and starts throwing a lot of bad words around, I just put them on ignore then and there, zap. the problem is, 5 or 6 months later, i'm reading a topic, and jaws says, this user is being , and i find i forgot what i put them on ignore for. I don't take them off my ignore list though, because it's harder to get someone off your ignore list than it is to get them on it, and some people change their user name a lot on here, so that's evenmore confusing, so then i have to find out what their previous user name was, and sometimes i remember why i did it, and sometimes i don't. so now i'm only going to put those on ignore who I think just like to put people down for starting harmless topics, or topics they like to criticise just because they find them boring, or people who have been rude to me personally. But if you knew why i have some of thepeople I have on my ignore list, you might think I put them on ignore for stupid reasons lol. think i'm going to start not replying to anyone in general except the original poster anyway, and just hit the f key and go straight to the edit field to reply. after all, I reply when i sort of or whole heartedly agree with the original poster, so the only one that matters to me now is the person who started the thread. take care and have a great day.

I prefer to listen to a person's lecture...chat system drama cracks me up.

Post 35 by YankeeFanForLife! (Picapiedra: king of the boards!) on Tuesday, 08-Jan-2008 0:44:56

So I guess thats why she put me on iggnor. Because I say fuck to much. Lol!

Post 41 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Wednesday, 09-Jan-2008 11:05:50

actually no fatherbear. i did not put u on ignore. but i should have because u were treating me like shit by calling me a bitch and then acting like a frightened kid when u put me on ignore so i could not respond to u. i am sorry to say, but u need to learn how to treat people with a bit of respect.

Post 42 by shea (number one pulse checking chicky) on Wednesday, 09-Jan-2008 12:43:46

respect. before you go preaching respect to other people. learn a bit yourself. I recall a post of you saying you didn't know a girl was black all the time you knew her, and it surprised you she was because she didn't speak ghetto and was educated. hmmm, if that's what you call respect, your fucked!

Post 43 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Thursday, 10-Jan-2008 11:08:53

hahahahahahahahah. i have respect for other people. i just never heard a black person not speak ghetto before. thats not lack of respect. that was ignorance on my part.

Post 44 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Friday, 11-Jan-2008 22:16:58

Some people realy don't realize those things. I'm sure you didn't mean to be racist or anything.

Post 45 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Saturday, 12-Jan-2008 12:11:09

no. i didn't even realize that constituted as a racist remark.

Post 46 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Saturday, 12-Jan-2008 12:12:35

i am not a racist. i have just never heard an african american use proper english is all.

Post 47 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Saturday, 12-Jan-2008 17:28:05

it's not rasist. You just didn't know.

Post 48 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Sunday, 13-Jan-2008 1:10:32

yup, as I said, some people don't realize.

Post 49 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Sunday, 13-Jan-2008 13:25:14

smiles. thanks you guys.

Post 50 by shea (number one pulse checking chicky) on Sunday, 13-Jan-2008 17:07:36

not once did i say it was racist. even if it was, i never said that. i simply said before you go preaching respect, learn a bit yourself! just because people may choose to speak slang, or whatever you called it, doesn't mean there not educated! So yeah, Don't speak for me, and learn to practice what you preach. so called respect!

Post 51 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Monday, 14-Jan-2008 0:34:51

I think she respects people.

Post 52 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 14-Jan-2008 10:44:29

smiles. very much so. i was taught respect as a child. if i talked back to my mother, i would get a slap on the cheek or my mouth washed out with soap.

Post 53 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Tuesday, 15-Jan-2008 0:27:24

That washing out with soap thing got done to me once...don't get me started on that one.

Post 54 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Tuesday, 15-Jan-2008 10:23:13

oiy, i got my mouth washed out so many times that it is hard for me to count how many times it happened.

Post 55 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Wednesday, 16-Jan-2008 0:43:10

If you ask me, it should never happen.
