He told me years ago I should try not to put people on my ignore list; even the dregs can occasionally offer a valuable perspective Absolutely. There is a popular poster on Bangkok post that a lot of people Including myself disliked immensely. We thought he spoke no sense. Turns out a very clever person and proved a lot of people wrong. Don't completely dismiss but always keep a safe and intriguing distance.

It's whatever is irritating, said poster wrote short posts like a few words then would always say Regards bla bla, tedious once you've read it 100s of times, no need for it

However I recently, for the first time in 15 years on the forum, put three tedious members on ignore. No names, but I'm sure many can guess who they are. I only wish the function carried over to blocking threads they start, or at least stopped them appearing on the thread list on the right of the screen. I have no wish at all to read their threads or trolling posts. I tend to scroll to a thread, look at the starter, and if I don't like the thread starter, I simply skip the thread.

I would love to put a pretend Mod on ignore but cannot. He even sent me a message signing it as Moderator. Now has changed his tittle.

I actually think this culture on aseannow.com of bragging about who you have blocked is pathetic and I wonder how thse people deal with adversity in their day-to-day lives. How sensitive do you need to be that you cant decide on the fly whether or not a post is to be acknowleged or ignored? that said, if i were to block someone, it would be fredwiggy, that guy drinks way too much of hs own KoolAid. I don't think anybody is bragging, just responding to the OP.

That's a self-centred posse of over-opinionated and laughably ignorant blow hards who like to post school yard insults about fellow contributors, mostly alluding to some sort of criminal activity with minors. They wouldn't probably didn't last a week over here in "ignore list land" but somehow they seem to thrive in the shallower waves of self-aggrandisement that the bangkok post readers comments offers to these otherwise insufferably nauseating, Thai bashing soap boxers. Using the collective "we" suggests that you are part of a clique.

You could argue that when your comment is deleted from here because it harms someone's feelings, is that a forum? ATD What is ATD. I'm finding I'm stuck in discussions with people that have two different stubborn mindsets, mine and yours so my comment Agree to Disagree is the best I can offer as a final closing argument. Yes, I am part of a group that have similar opinions. As I'm sure you are.

Yes, I am part of a group that have similar opinions. As I'm sure you are. No worries and agreeing to disagree is fine. Some of the BKP's most virulent commentators are all about shooting the messenger with ad hominem attacks that suggest they know more about the commenter they are assassinating than they probably do, while offering nothing with regard to the subject matter. The moderation here seems to take that aspect off the forum which, in my opinion, serves the forum's functionality better? It's about having opinions on another member's opinions and nothing to do with the member's intelligence, sexual proclivities or online personality, be it real or affected.
