This is a question Ignorance

I once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

This reciprocal
ignore thing is really irritating.

I can see someone is ignoring me, but I have to log out to find out who, and whether there's anything interesting being posted.

Is there any reason for the two way system?

I'll keep you up to date then, Username...
there are 40% posts that are sarcastic, 10% that are dubious, 20% using the thread as a crutch for in-jokes amongst friends and 30% witty and well-worded replies from me. Hope this helps. i also hope that these made up statistics add up to 100%. I'm sure I'll know if not as everybody that has just read this reply to you has just done a quick tally in their head, hoping I got it wrong. Any second now, we'll be given the EXACT percentages, which I then hope will not have taken into account their own reply and so affected the figures again and afford me a way to attack the trolls in a post-modernist, mathematically-pedantic manner!

This is going to come across as me trolling, but I'm not, this is the truth.
They brought in ignore 2.0 because of all the oversensitive crybabies on here.

Other than for spammers, who get shitcanned pretty
quickly, I can't see the point of it at all.

The new version just seems to be to allow the nerdy twits who ignore people to let the people know they're being ignored.

Ho hum.

So people can ignore me and make it obvious that they are doing so?
The internet is getting more like my home life every day. Is this what they mean by augmented reality then?

It's the only difference I can see.
Obviously ignoring someone didn't attract any attention. They need the person they have chosen not to take any notice of to notice them.

It's kinda cute, when you think about it.

It does make it easier to identify the biggest whiny pricks, mind.
