Even if you ignore users, you can still use the "View Post" option to see an individual post. I use this a lot, as a reminder that this person probably has gotten under my skin before, and that I'm choosing to view the post anyway but don't want to let it get to me. It can slow down thread reading but it's a good filter for me. It usually keeps me from responding, especially negatively, and if I think I'm not in the mood to read a post where the style or content is likely to irk me, I don't view it.
You can also choose to not see threads from people you've ignored. I wish these two functions were split. There are at least 2 people I can think of who either just start too many threads that I just don't care to see at all, but I don't mind seeing their posts in other threads at all. It also means that I won't see threads from people I've otherwise chosen to put on my ignore list. There is a way in the control panel to see threads I've ignored, but I rarely remember to check. It's also annoying in that it shows the oldest ones first. Maybe that could be flipped? Admins? https://www.early-retirement.org/forums/cis_manage_threads.php is the page I'm talking about, I'd like to see newest first, not oldest.
