I have to say, there are some folks that I just don't have tolerance to read about their status on Facebook. These are acquaintances that are always face-bragging about something daily and twice on the weekend.
So, I just pull the "Ignore" button on them. It is not that I don't like these friends. I just don't like some who make themselves important as if we don't know who they are.
They feel the urge to share their hour by hour life cycle like as if they will win an award for posting many status about themselves.
The only way to avoid these self-important people is to just use the "Ignore" button so that they don't come up in my wall.
That feature is a life saver in some respect from rolling my eyes or even speak to my wife about how annoying of a status so and so had put up.
I like modest usage of facebook understanding there may be people like me in my circle of friends who may not like to hear so much about me.
I want the "IGNORE" feature here at DailyKos in the newer version of DailyKos.
This would help avoid the many conflicts we have seen here in this blog. I think if you mute or ignore folks who don't think like you and are way too extreme in their views, you as well as the other person will benefit if they just don't engage with each other. So, what better tool can be so useful to keep the peace in this place manageable?
I would like to be able to read a diary and comments and also have the option to "IGNORE" some folk's comment or anything they write because I just know that I will not learn anything from them and/or they don't offer anything that will add value to my intellectual growth.
As such, I want to use the Nuclear option of ignoring them for as long as I am able to by clicking the "Ignore" button once and for all here at DailyKos.
So, I have been thinking about comments and commentors I would "Ignore" had I have an opportunity. I have a lot I can list here but for the sake of stating just my top three major "Ignore" items:
- I would like to "Ignore" folks who claim leadership is measured by one issue area and scream Obama does not know how to lead when in fact thisis what leadership looks like.
- I would like to "Ignore" folks who criticize this administration by calling the POTUS names that are very personal and don't keep their disagreement on policy.
- I would like to "Ignore" folks who run off their mouth without doing a simple Google search to challenge themselves about what they are prepared to say.
How about you?
I hope we have this feature soon because the jungle is very ugly right now and I don't know what else can be done to keep the peace around here.
