Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Facebook, I assume.
Unless we are still speaking of "Bacon!".

Yes, some posters have said they think the "ignore" list/count should be made public. To me, that just reeks of 'group think'.
How often do you put people on this board on "Ignore?"
I've only done it once. I was getting about 25 PMs a day from one forum member and enough is enough.
Sorry about that...........I was on a drinking binge that week..........
I did it, thanks. It's easy and works very well. I'll keep that in mind if I start seeing too many "the world is ending" posts.
So he says.......lemme guess...he wanted pictures, right?
Yeah, that was (very) poor phrasing on my part. What I meant was along the lines of letting the person know what the problem was so that the rest of us can (theoretically) benefit from the "talking to."
I agree, the name of a specific person should not be mentioned out loud. (I have only noticed this happen about single person who haunted this forum long before I showed up -- he is still mentioned periodically.)
From my POV negative posts (about markets or economics) are just the ones not to ignore. As retired investors we mostly tend to have very optimistic investment outlooks, but I can't see any reason that these optomistic viewpoints should be correct jsut because they are optimistic. Intelligent anaysis is where you find it, not solely optimistic or solely pessimistic.
Ha
( like: ERD50 is being ignored by 311,364 members)
But yeah, I think what we mean is unexplainable... apparently.
Just curious - what are the other things about the forum you hate?It's the thing I hate most about this forum.
I have 2 people on ignore.
I'd like to put some of the mods on ignore. I'm serious.
We should be able to do this.
Nothing personal, just don't need to see some of the posts I see.
If they need to say anything to me, they could make a sticky post or send PM/email.

I have never put anyone on ignore. I enjoy reading most people's opinions on various subjects. If anyone puts me on ignore, please don't tell me, because I know that my feelings will be hurt. I will also say that I would be truly sorry for anything that I said that would upset anyone else.
I guess I should clarify my earlier post. I said my ignore list consist mainly of doom and gloom posters, but it's not just that. It's the manner in which they deliver their opinion. I don't mind negative opinions. Heck, a lot of your post are not always cheery with respect to economics or the markets. But I enjoy listening to your POV. I just can't tolerate these 'I told you so' posters.
I am POSITIVE I am on a few forum member's ignore list.........
I imagine I'm on a few ignore lists as well. Of course this doesn't bother me much as I don't have anything important to say...more than likely this fact will remain the same. They ain't missin' much!
