Bumpin' our unofficial "Ignore List Discussion" forum.
VINH added me to his ignore list, I guess because I offended him by disagreeing with him, then offended him even more by pointing out that he was offended just because I disagreed with him after he specifically mentioned my disagreement with him in an argument trying to prove that he doesn't get offended when people disagree with him, despite the fact that everyone at OT.com seems to think he does (obviously, they are just ganging up on him to be mean).
From the looks of things, sounds like he has every regular poster other than Don Gaffer on his ignore list (bet he gets tired of clicking all those "Show Post" buttons all the time). I've actually often enjoyed having him around, but you have to walk on egg shells around the poor guy. I work with kids with these kinds of disabilities all day, kind of a relief not to have to deal with it around here too.
There are plenty people who are not on my ignore list. Not everybody here is incapable of controlling themselves. As for you, I didn't put you on my ignore list for disagreeing with me. I don't put people on ignore just for disagreeing with my views. I put you on ignore for popping up after my post and going "Queef!" It was misogynistic of you and and I had been ready to put you ignore for quite a while, due to your various insults and putdowns which kept coming even after you PMed me to tell me you'd quit giving me shit. I mean, I had been asking myself for quite a while "Why don't I put this guy on ignore already?" and it was because I felt that way about you that I was impatient with you in the swearing debate. After our swearing debate, you posted a cartoon to mock me and then you pulled your "Queef" shit and I figured, what the hell, I've had enough of this guy's bullshit.

Don't equate yourself and few friends with everybody. The problem seems to be that you and various others mistake strong disagreement with getting offended. If I feel strongly about a point I will be emphatic in how I express my disagreement. That is not meant as anything against the person with whom I'm disagereeing and nor does it mean I am in any way offended. When I get genuinely offended it's usually because somebody has gotten in some way personally offensive or rude. It's their crossing that line that offends me, not their disagreeing with me. The claim that I get offended by people disagreeing with me is bullshit and it's not made any more true if a number of people share the same mistaken view, anymore than the world was made flat by the fact that a lot of people once thought it was.
