Better Ignore Feature?

you know, I think wilomn is on to something. I think meow has problems beyond bp.net, otherwise all her posts wouldn't be a big drama fest. So meow, maybe you should get the the bottom of what's bothering you, and then people on the internet won't bother you as much as they are now. :)

The ignore feature can't be that lacking. She had no problem completely ignoring my post where i was trying to be nice. Oh well, i tried lol.

Why do people always assume that their situation is unique? Replace a few words and this is identical to crap that was posted on dial-up BBSs back in the early 90s.

Yet you all completely ignore the post where she apologized..

No one else seems to be trying to get along. They are just trying to find a reason to disagree.

I think this thread should just quietly die... lets talk about snakes!!

No i didn't. I saw where she apologized. She didn't offend me or upset me or anything so i didn't feel like it pertained to me.

Maybe it just seems most of her recent threads go and end this way, and everybody gets tired of all the drama.

So, perhaps she read your post and decided she didn't need to respond. I don't see why you seem to think you deserve acknowledgement for that post. Because you were nice? Yeah I thought your post was nice, much nicer than many other posts on this thread... but because someone didn't respond to it doesn't mean they ignored you.

The way people are responding to this thread is kinda ticking me off :/ Her exact complains are displayed perfectly in this thread.

Internet is filled with people who love to cause drama, I didn't even know there was an ignore feature. I just don't read what someone writes if their angering me.. Since its in my control what I read if I feel like someone is being a douche just keep scrolling when I read the name, or just hike up those big kid pants and tell them where they can shove it. Ignore function seems passive aggressive

Well no, i don't think i deserve any special treatment. But i found it ironic that she makes a complaint about not being able to ignore people but then ignores me being nice and responds to people who weren't nice... You're right though, she wasn't required to respond to my post or anything. I'm not typing this angrily, so please don't read it in a hostile tone or anything. I was only pointing out that i found it a bit amusing. I'm not mad at meowmeow or anything for it lol.

No I don't usually read posts with a hostile tone. It is unproductive and usually leads to... oh surprise. DRAMA.

Meowmeow didn't make this thread with the intention of making people angry or having them criticize her sensitivity. She asked a QUESTION and many members jumped on her.

And I do see this trend with her other threads because people are jumping on her! I want you to just take a second to scroll through this thread and see who thanked which posts. Who thanked the posts that were inflammatory, and in my opinion, could have been worded in a more supportive way.

Almost every comment so far has been negative. Very little "Hey ya know, there are going to be some people on the forum who you don't get a long with, its hard sometimes to read through that stuff, but just try and get through it because we value you as a member".

Those who did say something positive were not thanked for their posts. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL. No wonder she feels alienated. She receives zero support from her fellow snake lovers. Don't you think that is discouraging to someone who has already had a bunch of threads derailed and turned into dramatic fights about "opinions"?

It pisses me off to see another member driven from this site simply because other members refuse to play nice. Don't pretend like you are, because you aren't. And it is very apparent. At least to me it is.
