well, the ignore and unsubscribe thread tools don't seem to do much of anything; . . . . .
"not reading" ? - why would you propose such ?
I do not filter the inputs to a slant agreeing with my own, nor do I disagree with disagreement;
been periodically involved with the 'net and learned one thing: A good idea knows no source.
This basic truth is the only motivation to continue to deal with idiots (definitions will vary, lol),
one can have an insight and not even be aware of it; as pearls fed to swine, so they are excreted. (sorry Swift)
Typically threads are a narrative, or a discussion where differing views may be proffered; seldom a monologue.
While obvious at the beginning that the OP was a believer in whatever, I read on hoping for a dissenting lucid voice.
OK
next thread
in the '60s I used to listen to those barking in Hyde Park, same kinda stuff
No, the Ignore function does not remove a poster from a thread, it merely hides the content of their posts while allowing you the option to either read it... or not. You still have to exercise self control....to peek, or not to peek.
And you can unsubscribe from a thread and never get notifications of replies again. But it is only as good as your self control, again. Once you feel compelled to reply, you are automatically subscribed to it again.

I was merely responding to your statement about finding the Ignore button. When one chooses to Ignore input, it is filtering....no?
The fact that you "
read on hoping for a dissenting lucid voice" is no excuse. You made sure to leave your own dissenting view, correct? All is equalized now in your paradigm.
The rest of your post is merely soundbites. Adding nothing to either point of view or Belief. Rationalizing.
Why would "
differing views" be a given on this forum? There are hundreds of threads here where there are none. IMHO, the OP was harming no one, nor encouraging anyone to perform an illegal act. They obviously felt compelled to share their belief, knowing that it was controversial and would be challenged. You had a choice, let the OP have their say, or impinge upon it with your own. The outcome speaks for itself. Yet you need an Ignore Button?
I just found it curious. Human nature is a curious thing. I'm a curious creature. Nothing more, no offense meant.
Have a lovely day.
