Do you use the ignore list? Extensively, or surgically? Or not at all?
I've put probably half a dozen people on ignore for short periods over the years, weeks at most, and I found I was more likely to read their posts when I couldn't see how shitty they were and had to click a link to see their post, than I was if it was just there and I could scroll by it. My curiosity kills me, so the ignore list isn't worth. The one exception was I think I had mintjewlips on ignore for like 6 months then he disappeared, so I didn't even remember he was on there until a week ago or so.
