Fake news, you should ignore this post (1 Viewer)

[DrunkleWade]

Some idiot once told me that I'm a hypocrite, a troll, a loser and a sheep. There was probably more insults, er...personality critiques but hey, I'm happy with that analysis.

So since one dropkick has deemed me worthy of troll like status I really need to keep on improving to achieve the ultimate troll title.

Please take the poll, or not, it's your choice. I'm just trolling after all.

And don't name names, we wouldn't want to upset anyone.

Never have blocked a single member. No one on a chip forum will ever own that kind of real estate in my head.
I’m of the opinion that if one must actually “block” another member on here, A. They need to grow some thicker skin.
B. Present a more convincing point of view.
C. And most important of all, have a better sense of humor and maybe laugh at yourself once in a while.

If you block someone don’t they win ? I’ve probably been blocked but never noticed

It's not a competition. Some posters make many things difficult or are just annoying. I have no interest in typing a more convincing point of view. When I ignore them, they go away. Let someone else get triggered.

I guess my take is slightly different. I have only ever blocked a handful of members and that was so they can't own any real estate in my head. Repeated inane or outright ignorant posts by a member actually do start to wear on my thinking even outside the forum. For my own mental well being, I'll block someone.

It's rare for me to do so, and having just looked at my block list out of curiosity, I see many of those who I blocked have naturally stopped posting here anyway.

Hmm, you could be right.

Also, one more Austrian reference and you're gone son. JK

Nothing funnier than a long running joke.

Hey, why can't I see the first 7 posts... oh, right...

 

[chippitydoodah]

ZERO blocked members. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

 

[PlaidDragon]

Zero blocked.

The one guy who might have deserved it was too ridiculous and detached from reality to block. Every bit of bs he pm'd me was entertainment-quality.

 

[Jers28]

No one, yet. Not sure what it would require, as I’ve already been tested. And here’s my logic for not utilizing the block tool.

 

[Colquhoun]

I blocked only one user in my time here....then unblocked because I was consumed with the thought that I might miss the asinine thing he posted next.

 

[TheRealTeddyKGB]

O Blocked.
1 Ignored & only because he spams the classifieds. Or at least did I have no way of knowing now lol

 

[Budha]

because he spams the classifieds

That’s actually a good idea, never thought of that - lol.

0 blocked/ignored.

I figure I can be as much of a dbag as anyone on any given bad day. So, meh - we all put up with each other - the good, the….

I tried to block the most annoying member, but I got an error: unable to block authenticating member

 

[mike32]

I have only blocked one member and I’m glad I did. It had nothing to do with politics or being mean or anything, it was constant bumping of classified for sale ads. For all I know they are still doing it, but my ignorance is bliss!

How have I never thought of this. Genius!

That's fine that you did that but let me ask you how did that affect you? I mean, all you'd see was the same sale ad appear on the Whats New page once a day. What about that finally set you off one day? I've seen many members bump their stuff but never thought "That's it I've had it with this guy" to the point of blocking/ignoring them.

4 blocked, 14 ignored.

It’s been up to 20 or so. I have thick skin, but it’s makes my reading experience better not seeing the BS that always stems from their heads. Most of them have either been permanently banned or gone away anyway. (I think).

Some are users that only post classified ads, for which I have no interest.

Some just like to cause trouble.

I almost blocked myself once. Even I can’t put up with my sh!t some days.

I was going to go this year, but losing one’s job and using all saved PTO killed it. That, and the loss of pay, of course. The local ones are much easier for me right now. 80% in for 2026 pending dates

This person had been trying to sell the same chips for well over a year, just bumping the same ads over and over and over. These were multiple ads for single or just a few chips. I got tired of seeing their ads spam up my "new posts" when I visit the site. Now I just don't see them any longer.

I bet more than a few members would know exactly who I am blocking!

Apparently I’ve got 5 members on ignore!?

I’m not even sure how to block a member tbh, otherwise there’d be a few from the ig ore list on the blocked list instead. lol.

My quality of life is noticeably better since I blocked him.
