Maybe I don't fully understand the dynamics...I'm certainty not beloved, or accepted. But...I just don't get the ignore thingies. I tried it for a whopping 9 minutes. Is it like Linus's blanket? Are words that scary? I know I won't get an answer, but I'm perplexed
I don't think I have anyone on ignore, right now anyway (guess I should check to be sure, lol). I have used it in the past though. Not because I was worried about what some one was going to say, but because I knew how I'd react to it. So for self control reasons, I have put people on ignore for a bit then taken them off when I was in a less sensitive mood.
I might permanently put some one on ignore (as well as report them depending on what they are saying) if I felt they were harassing me. No, words on a screen aren't scary. But why put up with that **** when you have another option?
