No way! I saw that Michelle Pfieffer movie. I think Coolio forced her into butt-love in it.

You're right, the "ignore" function does work like that wherever I've seen it implemented.  A lot of times, though, people seem to find themselves wanting more gist than is available with the offending poster completely blocked out.  Hence the constant toggling that causes many people to give up on the "ignore" feature after a while.  I'm not arguing against it, mind you--no doubt different folks have different ideas about how useful it really is--just commenting that it might not be the panacea that it seems on first glance

You're probably right.  It could be fun to xspearmint with, but not seeing the big picture would frustrate anyone.  Still, we could always stand a trial period.  Maybe it would catch on with those who wish to block a certain nameless troll & his thousand separate accounts from interrupting their own personal space?

Who knew Dupek, or any of his many separate names, could write in a concise, coherent, complete sentence? Must be an imposter.

Screen names are different than accounts, as you well know.

I will swear on my Dad's grave that I have only ever used three accounts on this board (and only this one in the last year.) Those would be:
 
 Rhett Miller
 the Instigator
 some sort of fake name that was a play on poorlulu back when posing as a regular was the height of popularity
 
 I have never used my wife Celeste's account, nor have I accidentally posted from it (we rarely post from home anyway). Nor have I ever told her what to post. There have been times that she made statements that I "stole" from her, and posted under my Rhett Miller name as thoughts of my own withour giving her proper credit.
 
 I am not the Black Nerd, though I have a good idea who is.
 
 I am not Flawd, nor do I know anything else about him. He is funny though.
 
 I am not sure who else I have been accused of being, but none of the accusations were true.. I have only been Rhett Miller since I lost the password to the Instigator, which was probably 12+ months ago.
