Cool, I'm glad to hear it. From my observations, even when you guys are kind to one another, something gets misinterpreted every time. Oil and water, you just don't mix. To maintain equilibrium, one of you has to put a foot down and refuse to acknowledge the existence of the other (whichever way they're baited for it). If you want to be that person, then I'm in full support of you and I think it's a sound decision.

I find the Ignore feature works very well to achieve this. What you don't see you can't get upset/angry/defensive about.. Works for me anyway.

Yip that's right, I'm pretty sure she would be on the same page of ignoring my existence.

She's already on my ignore list.

I hate that button. I've used it once and then unignored the person the very next day. It just feels silly to use it to me.

Nah it's not, believe me. It's a lifesaver. If someone is constantly saying things about or to you that anger/upset/needle you, then it's so much easier not to respond to that if you can't see it. I found myself getting drawn in to arguments that were nothing to do with me, and if I can't see the person I Ignore then I can't see his/her comments so I don't have to worry about them. It's made my life a whole lot calmer and more relaxed, even if I do see things occasionally quoted by the person being ignored in someone else's post.
