this is a support forum, Belladonna, that means YOU have to be supportive, too. It does not mean that people only need to be supportive of you.

Do you understand that the support goes both ways? I would like to see a bit more support of others from you.

I was wondering about that, myself. Is it all just a competition, then?

No, it just means they got to you so they won. I didn't make the rule. I don't know who did.

But my question is what if someone put you on ignore and you put that person on ignore back, does that mean you both win? I asked that on I2 and the person didn't answer it.

Why not? to apply rejection and discrimination can be appealing and can even bring great relief, so it can be fair for the one who wants some peace and would feel better without anyone disturbing it, and, it's not like the Ignore button would ban someone from the site you know, though some might like that, so the fairness doesn't seem to apply that much, more like a preference.

And well, as for the support thing, I would likely choose those who I would support and those who I wouldn't, and what's wrong with that?

not a thing, as long as those we don't actively support we don't provoke to escalate the conversation.

It means that they have wound someone up so much that they would rather you didn't exist.
