We were nice

When people are talking about using the ignore function about another poster, it's basically setting up negative gossip about that poster, and it has nothing to do with the fact that the poster in question may or may not have used someone else's real names in their posts.

Well, if you feel I am in violation, then you are well within your rights to ban me or whatever. I know what my intentions were with that post and it was not to "rally the troops" nor was I setting up negative gossip. If someone uses the "ignore" feature, then that person would not see what was being written, as a result there would not be any posts by others regarding the oddity of the posts. That is the one and only point I was making.

I was simply noting the option to other posters, some of whom have already made negative comments about the OP.

If you take the time to look, you will see I have been a member here for five years as of last Tuesday. In all of that time I have not been a troublemaker. I have not been one to get into heated debates, stir the pot or "rally the troops" against anyone. I am not at all pleased with being accused of trying to gossip or stir a pot. I do not speak disrespectfully to others or make underhanded or passive-aggressive remarks.

Yes, when I find a thread to be one that rubs me wrong, I ignore it. If it is one that may tick me off, I ignore it rather than letting it get under my skin and aggravate me. If is it a thread I am just not interested in, I ignore it. There are entire sections I have on ignore. This is not only true here, but on other forums I frequent, on Facebook, anywhere.

You are under the belief I violated some rule by mentioning the ignore feature, that's your belief. In my opinion, you are wrong. I know what my intentions were and inciting the gossip riot was not it. Also, there have been worse things, more disrespectful things, said to and about the OP in this this thread, as well as others she has started, than "if you don't like what the OP has to say, use the ignore feature". Which was all I was saying.

If that were going to happen, or even if there were formal warnings, it would have happened privately.

My concern was and is that the entire thread was fast becoming a character smear - you weren't being singled out. The excess drama isn't necessary.

This thread is done.
