Using your Ignore List

Have you turned 50, finicky?

finicky may have hit 50 but I'm way past that, with a very poor sense of humour at times.

No, but I am willing to act as an intermediary if you would like them informed for some reason.

IMHO It would be a good idea to inform the poster. I had been stalked by one of the members in another Forum n even with Life threatening post on the Forum. It's frustrating trying to stop this type of on line bullying. Action of baning that poster was implemented only after I had pointed out on my post to remind the Company of their RESPONSIBILITY.
However, it didn't prevent that poster from changing his profile to rejoin the Forum.
I like this Forum as far as I see that it has an intense group of moderators participating on site. Keep up the good work.

This would all be done by PM, and only in specific cases where remarks were still being made about someone in posts even after they had placed that person on their ignore list. I am definitely not in favour of politicising or dividing the forum any more than it already is, but sometimes the ignore list is a better option than allowing the conflict or angst to continue.



I would not permit such derogatory posts to be made once they were pointed out to me.



It's a shame that some threads end up like that, but I'm not going to pretend it doesn't happen. A little less dogmatism, and a little more respect for others goes a long way. I'm not speaking of anyone in particular, but in general. I think that everyone is aware that the sort of situation that you are referring to occurs almost exclusively in political and religious threads.

I'm not OK with stalking in any way, shape or form. Stalkers here on ASF get banned. It's that simple. I have zero tolerance for that sort of anti-social behaviour.
