NO ONE CARES WHO'S ON YOUR IGNORE LIST.If this were true, there wouldn't be a lengthy off-topic thread on the subject. Anyway, I always interpreted ignore announcements as a polite way to say "this guy is acting like a dick."
Well, it's just it's also a very dumb way to say something no one's really going to care about anyway (I honestly couldn't give a fart how many people call me a "dick" or my "behavior bothersome", as long as it's just mere "ur a meaniehead" without proper criticism I can look at and evaluate), because, well, /ignore isn't an effective tool and completely meaningless to anyone who happens not to be using it at the moment, and it simultaneously comes off as a "I'm IGNORING you, and I want to LET YOU KNOW, that I'M IGNORING YOU so it HURTS!! Look, I'm so important and better than you, I'm NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU SAY! And I care to ANNOUNCE IT TO YOU!!"
Plus, that's the way it's usually meant in 80% of the time, anyways :D
As for the "ignore thread", I don't know about it, and I don't really care - sorry to now be insulting your intelligence, but as I said, "no one cares" really is a more impolite, dismissive and sweeping way of saying "there isn't any reason why anyone should give a crap about it".
Tell me, why should I care who ignores me or not? Either I won't notice, or I'll notice the person in question making a dunce out of himself for continuing posting on a topic without knowing what's just been said, especially addressed at themselves (as just seen with TheBoost). I'll then proceed to make fun of them, and if they manage not to peek in, the irony is lost on them, if not, it hits them double hard - not my loss either way, right?
At any rate, I don't think you should be calling anyone a "dick" for a quite a while now, after that last one you pulled :p
