    None. Every now and then, you have to get in the mud with the pigs.

    Ignore: the very best way to deal with trolls.
    If only more people used it.

    To the insecure, sure.
    For the adults, it's a great way to get away from the children.

    I've only seen a couple people here I would consider blocking, but didn't.
    If a person can rack up 10, 20, 30, people, there is something wrong with him.

    Never used it a single time. What's the point? Best way to deal with obnoxious posters is the report button.

    No, it means you have to get in the mud with the pigs... get dirty, deal with things you don't want to deal with... and you think it's racist?

    Do you categorically deny that pigs enjoy the squish of mud through their hooves? In order to deal with them properly (a chore most pig farmers don't have pinned on their favorites list) one must get up close and personal, which means getting in the mud with them.

    Or are you one of those that feels describing what is fact, without coloration, is racist that it's even noted?

    (I'm having a hard time keeping a straight face through this, seriously.)

    No ignore list here. It is easy enough to ignore comments that are just dumb.

    Oh, am I on your exclusive ignore list? How do I get on it? Please add me, please, I am begging you.

    Honestly, if you're ignoring people you simply do not agree with, then your not a person I want to have a debate with or someone who thinks rationally.

    The left often reframes the debate to be an attack on the person rather than on idea. The left lost the debate of ideas years ago, and the only way they fight is via the person.

    A perfect example is Trump, people often attack Trump not for his ideas, but for his character. If you look at his ideas, they are brilliant ideas, and as the last 2 years have shown they do work.

    To answer your question, I don't have an ignore list, as I find it entertaining to see the people I debate, try to rationalise the contradictions within their ideology. Squirm when they have to backtrack on their own statements, or when I have proven them completely wrong, not reply. When they do have good arguments, I learn something (which I always love) and add that to my world view.

    Intriguing.... obviously I am not on your ignore list or I suppose I would be unable to reply to this thread wouldn't I?

    My ignore list is zero..............
    although I do kind of understand your reasoning..........

    I don't have an ignore list. I am not afraid to read anyone's post. If I don't feel like answering it I ignore the post.

    I don’t have an ignore list I have an R&R list. Read and Report. These are people whose only debate tactic is ad hominem or general insults

    I have one person on ignore and I honestly cant remember what for but it must have been something really bad since I pretty much let anything go.

    I don't have an ignore list on principle. You can say any combination of characters to me and I won't give a ****. Say you want to kill my wife and kids for all I care.

    So... Nobody.

    ZERO
    Always has been always will be
    I just ignore people without putting them on ignore. Same as life, if they're rude.
