Yeah well your sigline tells a different story:

I am not answering? Probably I "hid" you. Don't take it too bad, and use the PM if you really need to say me something.

Unlike you I don't have anyone hidden. Rude, polite it doesn't matter. Most people have something interesting to say which would be missed if they were blocked. I just skim past those posters who annoy me - most of the time. Sometimes it's fun to poke them.

Now there is a thought.....wouldn't it be nice if we could just hide someone's avatar?

Because I find flowers offensive, I've just blocked your avatar, and yours alone - using Chrome with Adblock Plus.

I don't hide people on the forum side; I'm perfectly capable of scanning over or ignoring the comments I don't wish to respond to.

I agree with others who have said that announcing your hiding someone in the open forum is childish to the extreme.

He can dress it up however he likes, pam, but it looks like he's making a big display of stressing that he's putting people on ignore because he's a childish, petty oaf who appears to have stopped maturing emotionally and intellectually around the age of twelve.

And yet, none of those things would make him dishonest.

When did I say anything about dishonesty? I was agreeing with CP that SpanishHat's taste for announcing that he's put somebody on ignore is childish.

No, you said he did it for the express purpose of being childish (as opposed to doing it for the reason that he says.)

I've never hidden anyone. And I doubt I will.
For many reasons. I give you a Lettermanesque top 10 list:
10-From conflict comes growth. Listening to others with vastly divergent POV sometimes opens my mind to an idea, a path that I hadn't considered before or had previously erroneously dismissed.
9-Hiding someone limits me, not them. It limits my potential growth, it limits the range of who and what I am willing to hear, but most of all it means my mind is already closed so I'm wasting opportunities to learn. And that's how small people act, and I don't like acting small.
8-Hey, most the people I would hide are folks I think are idiots, but then again, the most powerful example is a negative one. I oft learn far more from them than the folks who really know whereof they speak, simply because I look at what the loser is saying/doing and then use it as a self check to make sure I don't act/sound/spout the same way.
7-Hell, this is America. It's a free country. It's a free forum. Which means any and all get to share. And I absolutely believe in the right to yack...and I'm not a hypocrite (Or at least try to be as little as possible), so if I want people to listen to me, I better plan on listening to them.When folks start simply dismissing/blocking those they disagree with, there's no hope for communication and/or change.
6-I can always skim. And I skim lotsandlots. I have folks I've been skimming for years.
5-Yanevereverknow. Sometimes the worst fool will say the most profound thing and I'd have missed it if I block them. And that would be my loss.
4-The truth may set one free, but first it will piss you off.
3-I don't hang out in politics/religion much, so I'm a whole lot less tempted to be blocking than I may otherwise be. :-)
2-Blocking removes any actual communcation, making things a one way street. And folks who only communicate one way...well, let's just say that the act says a whole lot more about them than moi.
...Drum roll puuuuuulllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze....
1-Blocking folks is straight out rude. And childish (Unless they are being super confrontational is stalkeresque, which changes everything). It's kinda the forum equivalent of either taking ones ball and going home, or (closer) sticking ones fingers in the ears, sticking the tongue out and razzing, "Nyaaa, nyaa, nyaa nyaa, I can't hear you."
And that's not exactly what I call domly.

Can you see me now?

I have only hidden one person, and it was only due to his very disturbing avatar.

Intellectual dishonesty on that level, then.
Mea culpa, I didn't realise that was what you were getting at. What I meant was more that he's doing it because he is childish, rather than doing it deliberately to be childish. That makes it far easier for him to come out with a load of pompous justifications for his behaviour without feeling he's being dishonest, dig?
(I should add that gandiose attempts to valorize one's behaviour, however daft it is, are very common among immature narcissisists.)

Well SM you may think that your constant announcements that you are hiding people make you appear polite and educated, but it really comes across as childish and churlish. It has been the source of some great jokes though, so keep it up!

hey that fucking works! the adblock plus add-on in firefox does it too. way fucking cool, thanks peon.

i did a little more fucking around and you can block the annoying fucking scroller with it as well, but you have to add the filter manually. you can block it with using the noscript plug-in for firefox as well, but the adblock seems to give a faster page load..

I totally got that from the "innit" post, Moon.

I'm reading Kana's post going *nod, nod, nod*. What a well thought out answer. I hope it doesn't go unappreciated. Oh hell, I appreciate it, and I'm sure many others do as well.
Excellent post as usual.
