Private Ballot:
B&W IGNORE LISTS, ARE THEY A BIG MISTAKE?
important ballot by Ken_from_Dublin

ACTIVE Thu Mar 02, 06 - Tue Nov 25, 08

I for one believe they are, described thus on this website -

'Ignore lists: List up to 10 people that you don't want to message you, make comment on your ballots, etc.
it takes 10 karma points from both you and this user upon activation' (End)

I for one will not be taking advantage of this form of mutually destructive form of self-denial reverse censorship.

While I concede I would be very tempted to deny certain users their right to ridicule me and my viewpoints, I am more tempted to hear their views..... sure how boring would the world be without conflicting points of view and debate?

Moreover - how boring would Best and Worst.com be without these fundamental ingredients of debate, only bigots will abuse this facility in my opinion.

What say you?

Ken (-: (END)

I rest my case.

Yes
No
You both need to shut the fuck up

to each is own - we all have our own ways of dealing with life's "challenges".

Thats it. You pissed me off now. You're on my shit list and my ignore list. Be prepared for the ensuing silence.
by TomSmith on Sun Oct 08, 06 9:21pm [+]

I agree by the way. Seems kind of petty the way some people add everyone under the sun onto theirs. Do away with them.
by TomSmith on Sun Oct 08, 06 9:21pm [+]

Totally agree Tom.
by Ken_from_Dublin on Sun Oct 08, 06 9:24pm [+]

They certainly shouldn't display "ignored by" lists on peoples' user pages and displaying a private conflict between two users for all to see. It may make a person look like an a$$hole unfairly if that person is being blocked for unfair reasons. Other websites are as discreet as possible with blocked users. When you send out an email to someone who's blocking you you don't get a message saying you're blocked. The only time a user should be notified about being blocked is when trying to comment on the blocker's ballot.

^I agree. There's sometimes no way an outsider can accurately guess who's right and who's wrong with those things. And they shouldn't be put in the position of guessing by having that information out in the open.
by skylab on Sun Oct 08, 06 9:48pm [+]

^^^I absolutely agree with those last two comments.

I think they are useful and you will remain on mine.

Ignore lists belie the purpose of B&W: A free and open exchange of ideas. What if politicians could have an "ignore" list? What would that do to our political system. I think "ignore" is a clear violation of freedom of speech and the open exchange of ideas. Let's face it: Idiots and stalkers are part of the mix. If, as I've said before, you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

"If, as I've said before, you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Hear, hear.

To some people 'heat' would include rational, logical arguments it would appear.

"I for one will not be taking advantage of this form of mutually destructive form of self-denial reverse censorship.

While I concede I would be very tempted to deny certain users their right to ridicule me and my viewpoints, I am more tempted to hear their views.."


So, care to explain why I was on your ignore list less than 24 hours ago?
by wideheadofknowledge on Mon Oct 09, 06 5:12am [+]

It is a pointless function for pointless people who can't handle debate or questions that challenged their rediculous preconcieved views. Hence that fact that you also had me on your ignore list less that 24 hrs ago.

Your a pathetic hypocrite.

I argee the ignore list only serves to interrupt debate although I do see that it serves a purpose when a person is being spamed or harassed.
by Corrupt on Mon Oct 09, 06 11:10am [+]

Voted : No
I thought long and hard before implementing this, for the reason you so eloquently stated.

Having been a victim of stalking, I can tell you that it's not pleasant. While some people may abuse this feature, since it's clearly stated who is blocking who, it may actually reflect on the blocker more than the "blockee". Also, there are people who are just not interested in debating, they are just there to harass individual users for their beliefs.

it's not a perfect system, but I thought it would have more positives than negatives... time will tell.

I appreciate your input

Thank YOU LCD for creating this brill website in the first place and for YOUR input into it.

(Looks like the monster squad are all claiming I had them on my obsolescent ignore list now, obviously having been private messaged by 90 foot Wide IC_yeah Head' to back him up in his lies, what a pack of lying devious pathetic saddos, I'd pity them if I had even a shred of respect for them, but I don't.)

Wolf, I'll tell you who's pathetic - YOU ARE - do you EVER leave your pc?

(I've ported this reply over from another ballot - he's following me around folks, and it's creepy)

You must live such a sad life, waiting for me to come in from the pub or club after a great night out, or after a game of golf ...waiting ...waiting ....hunched over your pc monitor with your eyes out on stalks waiting for Ken to answer your latest ballsology ,just look at that reply up there, THIRTY minutes here and NINE minutes for my latest pentagon ballot it took for you to reply - whereas I had been away for nearly two days enjoying life.

Do you have long fingernails and clammy white skin from lack of exposure to fresh air and the sun?

You are obviously obsessed with me, and have now become a fully fledged stalker.

Now I suggest you make an appointment with your analyst and -

GET A F*CKING LIFE
