    Board's helped me realize there's a diverse of world view's,personalities and agendas.

    It thought me how to be more tolerant and understanding.

    Used to get into lots of arguments, but that was a looong time ago and I was only a young fella back then.

    I've never used Ignore though. Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer... aaaaaand it's useless when someone quotes an ignored poster.

    I don't tend to remember people's names. If I do, I can't remember if it's because I like them or because we had a row.

    I have an excel sheet that I update daily, with my grudge history organised by scale of grudge crossed with frequency of grudge.

    Do you call it "The Grudge Report"?

    Have you used conditional formatting to colour code INTENSITY of grudge?

    I don't have the energy to care that much about people I disagree with on the internet.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I don't get why anyone would use the ignore function. Generally there's always going to be someone on a forum who doesn't agree with you.

    There was one poster who pretended to ignore people. Someone would say "why haven't you countered (insert politically left leaning poster here)'s posts and the poster in question would right back "what posts I don't see any posts and then later reply to said posts :pac:

    Ignore function is a pain as inevitably someone quotes the poster and your curiosity is piqued so you unignore them and find yourself back in arguments because of their idiotic opinions. At least, that's what happened to me.

    There's a few posters that consistently get on my tits. I just try to ignore them and leave the thread or just enjoy as other posters have a go at them.

    I don't hold grudges but I am aware of certain posters' agendas and know that getting into back and forths with them will lead to me tearing out what's left off my hair while they just roll onto another victim. I will make sure not to take their bait or if they quote me, I'll try my best to ignore them.

    Unfortunately, that means the mods have a grudge against me. And they don't use lube

    Some posters are fond of the verbal gymnastics and pseudo intellectual armchair psychology.

    Hello! *waves*. Quick, someone quote me in case Mr V has me on ignore. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    There's a particular poster who really just irritates me to the core anytime I encounter them. I can't help it. I can't understand how other posters take this fella seriously as an adult based on their utter stupidity and arrogance in nearly every thread I've witnessed them in. The village idiot and the town drunk of Boards.ie rolled into one train wreck of a poster.

    The ignore function is click bait! Seriously I've one poster on ignore, only posts on soccer so doesn't effect modding forums, doubt I've missed any pearls if wisdom on soccer tactics and formations.

    But nah, it's pretty pointless, even a stopped clock can get it right! Look at Wibbs and his watches.

    I see. This means war. I may need to resort to burning your home down to compete with your powers. But that could be a tad extreme.
