Clicking ‘Ignore’…

Ok I’ll admit it – I am responsible for the odd shit joke and pun now and then. Properly shit, too. A few efforts so fucking cringeworthy that they make you want to groan, extract your eyes from their sockets, pound the floor and demand the precious time back that you wasted reading such sanctimonious uberwank.

I’m sorry.

But clicking ‘ignore’ seems a bit harsh to me – It’s not like us punners are one-trick ponies – People do other posts as well as puns you know. It’s not that difficult to just MTFU, reply and say ‘That was a fucking shit pun’, and move on. Go ahead...Believe me, I’m used to it.

Consider some people like Legless, SpankyHanky and Apeloverage – they are legends on this site who have entertained us for years – yet they have been guilty of the odd pun. What are you going to do? Click ‘ignore’? If you do you are potentially missing out on some brilliantly written, clever, and downright funny stuff. Such a tragic loss for the sake of a principle.

So many posts this week have been written with a kind of ‘each to their own’ theme and this one is no different. Maybe I’m lucky to have never been so outraged by a post that I’m compelled to click ‘ignore’. But can’t we live and let live?

The puns
and stories that "may" be exagerrated are a main reason I read QOTW. The laughs are all I want. It takes a special kind of genius for most of them. Ignoring that is just wrong, if you ask me, which you didn't.

*clicks ignore*
.. kidding.

I have a theory (and I've seen people prove it from time to time) that it's only really for the attraction of saying "ooh I've put you on ignore" or generally claiming to have people on said list - when in fact they're not. In fact I think many deliberately leave them off the ignore list just so they can see what the reaction was.

Kind of pointless to me, I ignore with my brain, rather than censoring someone who may potentially (however unlikely it may be) have something interesting to say one day. Or jumping on the poster and going on some tirade about how they're not posting the right thing in the right place or whatever.

I don't tend to ignore people often
And I'd like to think I can generally live and let live.
