I’m going to echo praise of the new ignore button. As Jan mentions, some may not want to use it for fear of missing something and that’s understandable. I have found, however, that it has greatly increased my experience here. Once I was tempted to go back, only to find out that I had missed nothing unexpected and haven’t looked back since.
It is indeed clear when personal conflicts come through and unfortunately, we’ve seen resistance when the parties are asked to take the resolution offline. I see JoB’s message as a general one and it addresses the elephant in the room. I’m not sure why the ignore button is such a catch 22 subject when it has been brought up by TR and even that it was given as an option in the first place.
We’ve lost regular forum contributors over squabbles and negative interaction in the last year. If this new feature helps to bring them back by lessening their frustration, I’m all for it. It seems much more appropriate to talk about the elephant here than during a heated exchange.
Can someone TELL me where the ignore button is for Joe the Plumber??
