Adding an ignore list feature to audiogon

@maxwave     

Is your child in a hospital? 

Did one of your parents die?

Does the music help?

The problem is i am too old body with a too young immature passion....

My audio passion has increased in the last weeks...

I discovered i dont have a clue about what "sound" is really...I am not alone by the way in this case....

And it is enebriating ectasy to listen music like an unrolling film thinking about that : what is sound and what is  its  relation to music and life and to my room acoustic...

People lies easily...

They read the posts they dont want to read anyway...Like i did...

If they have time for sure...

Hate is a more powerful drive than indifference...

But it ask for more energy and then people ask for an "ignore button" to help them manage their hate or repulses....

Anyway a thinking process ask for the same amount of energy than an hating reactive process...And it is more useful for a reply than insulting...

i think the feature would be kinda nice, but for me, not really necessary, as when i scroll down, it is easy to roll right past the polluter's names and their thick blocks of inane text - so no biggie

You are too kind to me...Thanks....

But my posts could be alas! repetitive, heavy, not always clear and simple...

And i like too much discussions, missing the students because i am now retired that i sometimes go too far in the discussion and i interrupt and diverge " at sea" too much...

I know myself... 😁😊

But anybody is FREE to ignore me even without a button....

The greatest Greek discovery is "discussion"....

@maxwave you are truly showing your limited mental capacity and or abilty to comprehend what you are reading. Or what I was making reference to.

Enjoy your day.

Oh and I think I would mute you also.

Medical sciences today owe a lot to Germain’s doctors like Mengele

Using these knowledges was once a big ethical question..

IT STILL IS! PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR POINT.

Easily done, self-serve, no need for others to do it for you:

Polarization, an album by Julian Priester on ECM. A beautiful record. 

Polarization is a thing. Applying double-standards to different people is not helping.

Who would have thought that Millennial evolution would morph Lions into mere Shrews 🤔

A couple  hours of sunlight can do wonders, maxwave. 

My mouse has a scroll feature on it, its a little wheel that some may be able to use with their index finger.  Terrific technology.

Or you may get the administrators of a forum to make coding changes to their free and popular website.  The people who wish to invoke this feature can pay full cost for implementing it.

Based on the OP's thread posting history...never mind.

It's  just an interntet forum.

"not wanting to have them shoved down your throat"

Improve your ignore skill to play in the sandbox. 

Start with BS spam.

That will never happen.

I would prefer a no meme button. And if we had an ignore button I can see @tommylion makimg posts to himself. 

I prefer the nuclear button

Once more for the hard of understanding ...If you do not like the way the forum is moderated , or set up, the solution for you is an eminently simple one...

SOD OFF ELSEWHERE 🙄

Ignoring one poster doesn't mean that you aren't going to still get the flavor of his/her commentary throughout the thread  if others that you haven't de-selected respond to his/her "objectionable" narrative.

I suppose my point about polarization wasn’t made clearly. I apologize.

@tommylion I think I get your point better, now. Some people are really aggressive and even trolling in their posts, and that’s what an "ignore" button would help with. Have I got that right?

The thing I worry about -- for myself, and for healthy agon, in general -- is that we’re at a point where disagreements or strong opinions are too quickly *taken* for trolling, when it’s not really meant that way.

I learn a lot from folks here who come across as, let’s say, larger-than-life characters. If, on a bad exchange, I chose to "ignore" them in perpetuity, I’d be losing the chance to learn from them in the future and also find ways of making my arguments in ways I don’t normal have to invent.

​​​​@millercarbon  Not following your comment, unless it's a shorthand way of dismissing the phenomenon of polarization. 

I would be happy if the censorship were applied equally. Like, if I said your little needle never find groove, boom, deleted. Girl go banana for big horn?? Boom, deleted! What are you able to get away?  Depends on who you are. 

Polarization? Contributing to polarization? Polar you head out. 

Am I the only one the finds the arguments entertaining? I also remember being taught that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me". I guess the age of the internet crusades has reversed that old saying.

Part of being tolerant of opposing views is choosing not to respond every single time you see one expressed. If, every time someone expresses an opposing view, you feel the need to respond to/refute it, who is the one being intolerant?

Well anyone could ignore the IGNORE button. Easy fix, I reckon, for those apposed.

A Dyslexic button: everything is backwards

Add a speed reading button. It only shows every 6th word.

Add a Bored button it doubles all the responses.

Add a Stupid button a mirror pop up..:-)

Wow, I did not know that about Rome/Thumb up-down and was honestly doubtful for a minute - but you are totally correct. Thank you for the history lesson. One of the few times I actually felt smarter after reading through a thread here ;-)

"The feature you're proposing would be contributing to polarization."

Like there's not already a bunch of highly polarized people here?! Being tolerant of opposing views is one thing, not wanting to have them shoved down your throat is another.

You little cartridge needle never find groove!
