Anyway, I don't know what abc said, but hate is a strong word. All I can say is that I put people on ignore that I just can't seem to get along with. Maybe I am at fault in all these situations, maybe I am not. I just figure the best way to avoid the fights is to put them on ignore so I don't have to deal with them anymore.

Reasonable, best way to leave it.

sometimes it is, but I think many times it is just done for sake of having fun at my expense. Many times I think it is done just for the sake of trolling. I also think it is done because some people on here like to be mean.

Possibly all true. Like Bingo suggests, in part its because internet interaction doesn't seem really real. In some sense we're "just puppets" (see his post on page 1 to see what I was referencing) and it's easy not to take a lot of things that seriously. Even in the course of trying to be helpful on the internet, it is easy to dispense with all kinds of etiquette. We're addressing representations of people. So even the rudest comment has a superficial quality to it. It's not that people are truly insincere or rude. There is an expectation that others can take what is said with a grain of salt. But you're right that the ignore function exists for a reason. I have no use for it but my puppet has thick felt.

I wish you the best in whatever problems you have.

Thank you, thank you :)
