6. Yes, that's why I have NEVER put anyone on ignore - I simply don't want that person crapping on

everything I write, with convincing-sounding "facts" and "logic", making me look stupid and ignorant, and I'm totally unaware of their post. So I don't respond and everyone reading the thread thinks that I have no response to that replier's "great" points.

But to have that ability of a reverse ignore -- blocking someone from seeing what I write -- that would lead to a lot of foul use. I could be crapping -- with convincing-sounding "facts" and "logic" -- on posts that someone else writes and that person would never know because I put them on reverse ignore. That is most certainly unfair and something that I wouldn't want done to me. So I am extremely very vehemently strongly opposed to such a feature.

With the regular ignore (1st paragraph), I'm choosing to be an ostrich.

With the "reverse ignore" (2nd paragraph), someone is making the choice to make me an ostrich.
