That's fine if the person you're Ignoring is level-headed and reasonable and you can talk it out, but when they just hit you with torrents of abuse, even w hen you weren't talking to them, get involved in all your business and constantly say nasty things about you and others, there's no talking to that person and every time you see their posts it's just going to annoy you and possibly cause a backlash. I don't like drama (except on TV) and I don't like confrontation. I don't care if it is seen as a cop-out, I still believe that in the cases I used the Ignore (three only) I did the right thing, for me, at the time, and for my continued enjoyment of this forum.
