I still see Vinny G.'s threads and posts. All that I can't see is the content of those posts. I'm still very much aware that he's there, and the ignore feature doesn't prevent me from reading his posts when someone quotes them anyway. The ignore feature is functionally not worth very much.
I dunno, maybe it's because I enjoy getting into a rightly nasty scrap with people I don't like now and then.
I disagree. If you fear that you would yourself engage in behavior that could potentialy harm yourself when confronted with someone dispicable the possibility of avoiding someone without having the chance of reversing the decion of avoiding that person is helpfull.
