not really, no. i'm just very disappointed tbh. this thread was supposed be a dialogue but instead served to illustrate exactly the very thing it was attempting to quash.
i challenged posts that demeaned others. i challenged an "ignore list" of posters (all female, presumably?) that's apparently not only being shared privately between "male members" but also being advertised (unchalleneged, no less!) in public, on thread!
a list like this attacks the posters on the list, not the content of their posts. to my eyes, this makes it a personal attack. it goes against one of the most fundamental rules of this forum.
yet, no remorse is shown. no accountability for the attitude i saw inherent in those posts i quoted. there is no sense of embarrassment or shame at behaving like this. no amount of provocation should result with this type of behaviour and those type of posts imho and if it does, it's time to take a step back and take a break.
instead, what do i get? i get asked to refrain from speaking directly to someone as a "joke post" according to another poster.
this is how lightly my challenge of the posts made, are taken. this is how normalised it is on here that there is actually an "ignore list" circulating and it's being freaking publicised ffs!
instead of taking ownership and answering my actual point, the poster in question deflects with prima donna'esque dramatics of asking to be left alone.
clearly accountability does not apply to All, and for those that have read animal farm, the message is clear...this is a barnyard and "some animals are more equal than others".

He's not being serious. He's making fun of people who did similar things to him.
You may be surprised.
But this time I am serious!
And I am not making fun of the one who did the same to me...and to many others. The thing is, I have decided to adopt a zero interaction policy with some users (regardless of gender may I say) whom, in my opinion, seek for drama over trivial, little things and give me moral lectures over things which are....trivial (and so what If I call a content in a post nonsense? This is my opinion about the post), and worse of all, accusing me of things which are from their own projections.
Because I am sure they will do it again and again and again, so best solution? is to ignore those users and to ask them to ignore me as well.
And I hope other users who frequently get in arguments with those to do the same.
Until world peace reigns. :angel:

I, myself, believe that an "ignore" list is ridiculous.
agreed. the reason it offends me so much is that it's prejudicial. not everyone sharing the "list" will have had run-ins with the people listed and yet they're going to have pre-set notions on what someone is like, ergo instead of judging posts made and taking them on a post-by-post basis, they will be judging the poster. ie, personal attack. whether they have cause to, or not.
a foe list is individualised, whereas a shared "list" like this is essentially ganging up on the people on the list. i see this personally as tantamount to subtle bullying.
ETA - it's funny really but just goes to show, ND or NT, Human Nature will Out. dunno why i expected this place to be more tolerant and inclusionary? i just did.
in a place full of people that have experienced exclusion at some point in time or other... there are those that are actively and shamelessly encouraging the same here.madness
i now firmly believe this isn't a gender issue but an entrenched element in the place that needs polishing, bit like a turd, fruitless endeavor tho that may be.
hardcore moderation and zero tolerance.

As you've just used this "policy" against Boofle, this post is clearly referencing her and is a personal attack.
indeed
but hey, yannow what? i'm a grown up and i rarely get personal so i'm not gonna report. i only ever report spam.
*shock horror* i don't have a foe list, or an "ignore list" either...cos... i believe in acting my age, not my shoe size
