[NSC] How many people have you got on ignore?

[dejavuatbtn]

52. Seven now banned. Only 3 who still post regularly. But a surprisingly large number who have/had some sort of noble quest as their strapline. Bringer of truth. That sort of bolleaux

I have spent a lifetime dealing with fools and knaves at work, super-keen to share their 'different' opinions, and I'm buggered if I'm engaging with fools and knaves when relaxing. Racists, little Englanders, Trump supporters, Johnson apologists, prancing ninnies, homophobes, people who think people with mental health issues need to buck their ideas up. Sadly I may have binned one or two off for little more than being elderly/reactionary, along the way. Oh well. Never mind.

I admire those who time after time patiently try to engage with certain sorts, many of whom don't deserve such courtesy. I can't do it. This in itself used to be distressing, and my defensiveness about it made me rather strident about it. But when I discovered it is simply one of many of my manifestations of autism, it all made sense.

I am more than happy with the level of interaction I have with the vast majority, the many lovely posters on NSC. It is what it is. And I can brush off the piss-taking.

I do raise an eyebrow, however at the excessively bullish claims from some about how virtuous they are for not ignoring anyone. I presume these people spend hours every day scouring all the world's opinions, from GBNews to The Sun, National Enquirer and even, occasionally the BBC (when they aren't promoting their extreme left wing propaganda) to get a balanced world view. Living and letting live. Heartwarming.

OK, you win!

I like to think of myself as the Harpoon of Justice.

None. I love everyone

Brilliant.

Kosh - the unequivocal equivocal.

Shame you’d have missed him defending every shit referee we had last season

You LOVE it.

I've tried to ignore you, but your vitriol against every referee when we lose is compulsive viewing.

And I actually quite like you anyway. But for some reason I confuse you with GT49er. I don't know what the mind association is. I only realised when I tried to start a cricket conversation with you.

As you no doubt gathered talking cricket with me is a waste of time! I do understand it, I played it for 10 years at school, fun to play zzzzz to watch 90% of the time to me

Bit harsh suggesting vitriol every time we lose at football though

 

[Taybha]

Didn't have any until post #38.

Agreed, apologies. I'd say it's no more than most of the time

I was expecting that figure to be considerably more for some reason.


Who said that.......?

I haven't anyone on ignore because of my signature.

 

[Live by the sea]

None , although would have put Swansman on had he stayed on NSC . I strongly believe in debate and don’t subscribe to the current culture of trying to shut down everyone that isn’t considered woke or should I say woke enough.

Life is too short.

Exactly. Life is too short to waste time on plonkers.

I don't agree with you there. I'm sure Icy was vitriolic against refs when we won and drew as well
