I too have no one on ignore... I fail to see the point of ignoring others.
Disgust. Do you never feel so utterly disgusted by a person that you take advantage of every single possible option you have to avoid such a person?
Avoiding someone is a test of character, especialy outside the internet. And I have never had any problem avoiding the people I chose to avoid outside of the internet.
Yet when on a forum or social nework, I cannot simply avoid the festivities or events on which I encount a person I would prefer to avoid.
Nothing forces you to interact with any other person, and the ignore function doesn't make a person's entire presence invisible to you. 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.
