Fed up with the bickering.

[hider]

Today to avoid the bunch of complaining new members, I have placed four of them on ignore.

I have taken this action to avoid being drawn into their misguided complaining and getting myself banned again.

They are spoiling any sensible discussion and getting me wound up.

I have suffered nearly 2 years of hardship and trauma in my service to this nation and these small minded moaners are aggravating me beyond belief.

[Quatre_Bougies]

Oh, I couldn’t agree more.

 

I to feel my service of many years now retired and my husbands 22 years military service, now retired for country.  Makes me less tolerant of the moaners too.

Then you're on the wrong forum.

And yet you have been doing more than your fair share of moaning on here recently.

Allo,allo. Good moaning folks.

 Or in the bin ? 

He complains about bickering by starting 2 posts to complain 

[hider]

And another on ignore, thanks.

Got to say I never understood this ignore list thing. I reckon they peek at what’s written. 
I’m on a few lists but I think the more clever minded people just know how to ignore (me).

I use ignore to make sure certain posters don't wind me up. 

There are a few posters who I always read. There are some who I don't bother about, but might be encountered on a live thread.

It depends on my mood, occasionally I peek at some, taking in to account the context.

I just checked, I only have one person on ignore and that haven't posted or visited the forum 2011, maybe its safe to take them off now

Also, if someone quotes the ignored poster's post, then the reader who put them on ignore will still see that post cited with the name of the ignored poster at the top.

 

Pointless. For those getting so wound up I suggest

a) transcendental meditation,

b good quality drugs or

c) a holiday in a country where most inhabitants have a daily struggle to obtain clean water, sufficient calories, etc etc.

[beerbeerbeerbeerbeer]

a) Not my scene.

b) I am medicated already.

c) That is what I have just escaped from, it was no holiday and certainly no relief from being wound up. Ducking every time there is a bang, watching for drones, living in filth with no clean water or food, not pleasant.

 

Better to ignore the fools and clowns, yes, it is a shame that their posts appear if quoted by another member but that is unavoidable.

I've never put anyone on ignore, I don't see the point as I can read their name and not read any post I don't like after the first paragraph. As far as I am aware I have not been put on anyone's ignore list.

I find there is a handful of people on here who post only to wind up other posters. They have nothing constructive to say about boats or boating so it's not even worth the minor effort of reading their 'first paragraphs'. Putting them on ignore makes the forum a nicer place. 

[Midnight]

Nobody on my ignore list as there's nobody who winds me up that much. 

[Ange]

Just one on mine nowadays 🙂

[mrsmelly]

No way would I put anyone on ignore. Would miss some of the whiners on the politics forum and that simply would never do  several are hilarious beyond belief 

[hider]

I never bother with the political jokers, they are a sad lot and its all very pointless.

 

Never discuss sex, religion or politics, avoids the agro.
