and most other people i think
who wants a messageboard where you're not allowed to say anything remotely controversial or disagree with other people?

might as well go back to trolling yahoo forums :(

What are you talking about?
You say anything controversial you like, but if you go out of your way to actually target someone then you run the risk they might ignore you and you'll miss out on some stuff.

Of course some people will be over sensitive about comments, but are they the sort of people who's posts you're likely to be sad about missing? I highly doubt it.

All this does is provide a decent solution to the fact that people with nothing to contribute but abuse will find their selection of targets diminishing, whereas those people that actually provide some amusing banter and give and take it in the spirit of the site won't.

what you're doing here is underestimating the over-reactors
i got nearly 15 people ignoring me pretty much from the off, and I don't even think i was mean or nasty to anyone

and yes, i do want to see those posts. all the general chit chat is fairly lame, it's only when someone makes an idiot of themselves that things get interesting around here

I'm not underestimating them at all
I've managed to be rude to people for years on here and I've had plenty of great back and forth so people obviously aren't ignoring me.

You have to consider the fact that you might be the problem, not everyone else.

oh i'm sure that i am, but i assure you that you will have several people ignoring you right now
and that if they weren't, you'd probably have a bit more to do around here

i just think it'll eventually leave the site as a much tamer, duller place

agreeing with rory, right here.
the whiners and the dullards are entertainment, not 'targets'.

i think you need a new tinfoil hat, bamongoloid.
