Do you use the 'ignore' function or not?

And if a poster here expresses views that are generally opposite to mine it doesnt make that poster a bad person or someone I dont like. MrP and I often cross verbal swords about stuff, and sometimes i find his views upset me. But I also know that MrP is a good person, and definitely an interesting conversationalist who its fun to share a coffee or beer with talking cabbages and kings.

I've have that 100 transferred into your account by morning.

I tend to ignore idiots ... but I like seeing what they post so that I can reassure myself that I'm still sane ...

Sanity, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

What is missing is an 'ignore' button in public.

I've had three incidents recently. One where I was invited to join a group who apparently meet to discuss conspiracy theories. The other where I was approached by someone I have great respect for, who wanted to engage me in these topics off the forum and a third incident which I won't comment on.

Let me make it clear to those who are minded to engage me in the street. It is nothing personal but I do not wish to discuss these topics off the forum. Talk to me about football, talk to me about the speed of the greens, let's enjoy a family barbecue together but please respect my wish not to discuss these subjects publicly. If you cannot do so then don't talk to me at all. As far as I am concerned the only place I am willing to talk politics and religion is in a 'virtual world' where people are too far apart from each other to reach across the table and wring your neck.

I've enjoyed the opportunity to test my mettle on HHAD, and appreciative that the forum has allowed these discussions to take place, even if only to get advertisers names in front of 'punters'. But I've been disturbed by what I see happening off the forum and am therefore calling it a day. Cries of 'Don't let the door hit you on the way out' are to be expected.

Best of British to you.

How about a cry of "Hey mate please dont go!"?

Or if you do....come back soon eh?

I don't use it, I just go on holiday for a few months and come back refreshed and loving everyone.

Welcome back

[Khundon1975]

Aw thanks BB, We are off again soon for a month or two but I will try to follow the forum when, or if, my other half gives me some time off.

Sorry to hear Mr Plum has decided to stop posting, I will miss some of his posts but when someone insists we use their full title and talks about his "audience" maybe a short rest would do him good as well.

I bet he still sneaks a look now and again.
