I never put anyone on ignore unless I feel like don't trust their style of posting and I'm at work, where it might happen that someone walks into the office and I'm scrolling down a thread's page that might have sexually explicit images on it posted by them. Regardless of my finding them gross, I don't give that much of a flying fig about it all. The thing with someone who has a a serious criminal record for coming across as thick is that I have hope that they might come up with something interesting, at one point. But with some people I kinda lost hope, and in fact they generally don't seem to talk anything but a load of shite.

as for reporting posters, i have only done it once for a certain person who ended up getting banned for his threats and general aggressive attitude, that was pretty bad, the old board had it's a few like that, one who still hangs around but doesn't get into spats anymore was very brutish to everyone, but especially my female friends who he said some very reprehensible and personally unforgivable things to, not that it just slipped out, but of it's very deeply rooted sexist tendencies

I think that we are talking about the same person, and I have done it because I was asked by another poster who I respect, even though I kind of thought that ignoring him might have been much more effective and ego-diminishing.
