I'm saying that I don't think avoidance is useful to learning how to deal with negativity. And, if you've learned your lesson, why avoid?

I think the whole point, mine anyways, is that you don't have to read something just because its visible, and if its by a person you know you're not fond of, you should try to muster the willpower not to read it. Its good to develop willpower like that, better for you overall than just using an ignore button.

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. |
