Good choice! It would be curious to know who is the most blocked member.
Probably Tiberius. He's so mean.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Actually I voted him "Best Member" lol. Even though he doesn't post too often on forum discussions, when he does, it's always a quality post. Respectful, sensible, and thoughtful. If my future child became an atheist, I'd want them to be exactly like Tib.

That's too tempting lol. When you see that, you know they responded to you.
It's not that they responded to you, they are responding in a thread. But yes, the option to click is there. Honestly, if the option was removed, it would be easier for me because then I wouldn't even notice them unless they were quoted by someone else.

Yes, that is true. I guess if it were me though, I'd get paranoid and always assume that the person was saying something nasty to me. It would drive me crazy knowing it's there and not clicking on it to see.

We voted for each other then.
If I ever had a kid and they decided to become Catholic, I'd want the same for them. After I disowned them of course.

It could be me. Haven't had a poo for 2 days!

Wrong actually. You can send a blocked person a PM, they just can't PM you.

You can always un-ignore someone so might be worth experimenting. People aren't alerted when they are placed in ignore.
You can see their threads. That's the most annoying bit about it.
Sure, you can't see the content because when you go to look you just get "user on ignore" or whatever, but it's still there. And when you click today's posts, or my posts, you'll still see threads made by a blocked person appearing there.
Kind of defeats the entire purpose.

If right handed, block with your left. Then right hand sucker punch to the groin. Once their down a stomp or two may be called for.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
