OFT
Ducimas mentioned it already but I'll talk about it again.Sometimes the ignore button is very useful if you really cant help your self control with a particular person put them on your ignore list for a while.
I sometimes see where someone will post saying that they are going to add a person to their ignore list..... why tell them if your plan is to ignore them?
I think a lot of threads that get out of hand if the ignore button/list where used more often there would be very few infractions being handed out at lest for one form of violation.
I think on the internet people are much more likely to get riled up and rude and post things that they would have restraint in a face to face interpersonal situation.You also are unable to read body language and tone of voice which cue you into an individuals temperament and intent when speaking or their temperament towards interaction.In other words in personal face to face situation you can tell "Bob is in a bad mood today I wont talk about certain things with him".You can usually pick up on the body language of a total stranger not so over the web in typing and text until they say it.
That does not give a person the right to post a truck load of crap because they are in a bad mood that day.
