[QUOTE="Tatianna, post: 21380, member: 49"] On the original Soap Chat board, I joined in April 2002, skipped a year and returned 2016. When the site crashed, I began as a new poster. Given all the years of posting (old and new), I've only used the "ignore" feature one time and that has been in the last couple of weeks. That's worked for me, and I do not intend to turn it off. So "ignored member", and you know who you are, your efforts are pointless. While it is always tempting to retort, things can and do escalate to unnecessary proportions, creating permanent hostility. I've had a good time debating with various members and [USER=87]@SueEllenRules![/USER] is no exception. We've debated on hot issue topics and have also engaged in joking, harmless banter. We couldn't be further apart in our politics, yet there's total respect on my behalf and I believe on his as well. I appreciate other points of view, there's always room to expand my horizons by listening to "the other side". For me, I encourage more indepth conversations as a way of better understanding, which is important to me, it does not necessarily change my opinions, but it does make me more tolerant to other points of view. :) [/QUOTE]
