Better Ignore Feature?

[meowmeowkazoo]

I apologize. I didn't intend to start a huge flame war.

I feel persecuted by a specific group of people here, most of whom showed up in this thread. I have discussed this feeling with neutral third parties, who have agreed that I appear to be unreasonably persecuted by these particular people. I have honestly not had this issue on other websites, at least not to the extent that it has happened here. I felt that an ignore feature would help me to better deal with the people that are specifically targeting me here, without causing a lot of drama or fuss.

I apologize that people felt I was being arrogant, or sensitive, or thin-skinned, or condescending, or whatever.

All I intended to do was ask about getting this feature added. I did not intend to offend or insult anyone in the process, nor did I intend to give the impression that I need to be coddled or protected.

I just want to be able to use this website without being harassed or criticized by the same group of people every single time I post. I completely understand people disagreeing with me or having different opinions. I don't understand the personal attacks, sarcasm, and generally unpleasant, passive aggressive attitude toward me by these people. I don't personally dislike any of these people, and I would very much like to get along with them.

I ask that if any of you have a personal issue with me, please PM me and discuss it with me so we can try to work it out. I'm not hard to get along with, and I am more than willing to apologize for any offense I have given that has caused this specific group of people to so intensely dislike me. If you find particular aspects of my personality or posting style to be aggravating, let me know so that I can work on changing that, or so that I can explain why I might seem that way to you.
