I enjoy the casual banter and the ability to share ideas, myself. Mind you, most of my posts are in Polls & Other Random Stupidity, based on the theory that a fair number of the threads will end up there, or probably should have. The train wrecks are another story. I deal with quite enough shit in my life beyond the boards; if someone feels the overwhelming urge to get dramatic I'll either pass or offer a comment to try and nudge things away from the open flames. Failing that, I can [and have, on a few rare occasions] simply block the person, thus avoiding being subjected to their overweening need to bait. [Don't worry, Steel, I certainly haven't blocked you, and see no reason to. I know the negative connotations people try to slap on the ignore function; it's a tool, like anything else. Personally, I reserve it for tools, and to date they only number three. No regrets, here; I'd also use the TV remote to mute my mother on occasion, if I thought it would work...]
