"Ignore" buttons
For those of you who are wondering what an "Ignore" feature is, check our Morningstar's discussion boards.

If you go through their registration routine and gain access as a poster, you'll see a "My Ignore List" on the left-hand margin (a scroll or two down).
***** says: "The reality, however, is that, as you say here, the "ignore" idea never works when dealing with the particular matter that is the cause of the trouble spoiling this thread."
That hasn't been my experience. When I add a name to my M* "Ignore" list, that person's posts show up with their subject line but with a generic text of "Posts by this member are being ignored." Initially I expected that I'd be turning the feature on & off to see what was going on, but that hasn't been the case. Once I add a name to the "Ignore" list, ignorance is truly bliss. Occasionally I see other posters react to the "ignoree", which only affirms my reason for having that name on the list. A bonus is that the thread scrolls much faster since I don't have to keep clicking past 4,999-word prolixious dasypygal gibberish.
*****, you've used up all your goodwill. You've run your own board and manipulated it beyond all moderator's ethics. You've created numerous login identities on this board and schizophrenically orchestrated "support" for yourself. You've even added a "Guest" post here as a desperate attempt to sway public opinion.
Once again I suggest you go somewhere else. If you don't want to leave (and if you aren't banned by the moderator), then I recommend you stop recycling your old posts and limit yourself to on-topic responses. The rest of us know where to find your old posts if we care to.
