Seeing as how I am indeed one of those she has on ignore, I will address the charges as if they are directed at me.
Lebesgue, I'll admit right now that there are people on here that I do not like.
That is strange, considering I have never done anything to you personally to make you 'not like' me.
In trying to conversate with them, I felt like stumblingblocks were being thrown in front of me left and right.
What things have I ever said to you personally that caused 'stumbling blocks'?
Whatever. If that's the case, then don't converse with me. That would make more sense than putting me on ignore.
It's not always all about you and your sensitive feelings that are so easily wounded Trust. You are going to have to learn to deal with all kinds on this forum. Excluding people by ignoring them is completely rude and it only makes you look petty and immature.
It was unedifying to me, and I know it was to them too. Some people don't know how to deal with a stubborn country girl.
But you would apparently, by putting them on ignore.
When I can't find common ground with someone and there is no respect (or what respect was extended in the beginning was lost over the course of time), I have chosen to put them on ignore.
Oh brother. So just because there is no common ground there, the online equivalent of 'talk to the hand' is warranted?
Wow, I wonder how my life would be if I completely ignored every single person I had nothing in common with?
And I hate to break it to you, but I am not going to collapse in a ruined heap if I don't have your respect Trust. I could care less either way.
All I am saying is that I have never said anything I am aware of that would cause this sudden loss of respect. And for you to expect me to somehow know this information through ossmosis, telepathy or mind-reading is quite unreasonable.
So, unless you enlighten me on this, the situation is what it is and it will remain unresolved I suppose.
I know some people do not think we should use the ignore feature here,
No I don't think it should be used. It is immature at best.
but I do, and I'll explain why.
It really doesn't have anything to do with "love", because that is always there. I can be FURIOUS with one of my children but I still love them, you know? It is about respect.
Trust, do you honestly think I care if you are 'furious' with me? I am not one of your children, so the comparison is condescending and patronizing at the very least.
What I would like, however, is to know just what I said to you personally to make you 'furious' with me so that I can address it. That would be the decent thing to do as well BTW.
But, since that is not forthcoming, I have to assume there is nothing I have said to warrant being put on ignore and that this is your own problem.
And where have I ever direspected YOU PERSONALLY BTW? Nowhere.
I use the same principles I do in real life, and if I see someone having what I'd compare to a genuine temper tantrum ("hissy fit" if you're from the south), I have learned, and psychologists will tell you, that it's nothing more than a cry out for attention.
Always this misrepresentation of my posts, as if I was some slathering, psychotic wild-man typing my comments.
The reality is a lot less dramatic, I can assure you. Try calmly sitting at my monitor chewing gum, sipping a Pepsi and eating Doritos for starters with the blood pressure rarely ever exceeding regular levels.
Of course, people's active imaginations are always more fun to entertain I suppose.
So, your 'hissy fit' assessment is nowhere near accurate.
Unfortunately children want attention so badly sometimes that they don't even care if it's NEGATIVE attention.
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
I want no attention from anyone, negative or otherwise. That is your own warped analysis of the situation.
I walk away from my youngest son when he's wanting negative attention. I wait until he comes to me and tells me that he's ready for positive attention from me and then I smother him with it.
Could you please give me a break from these condescending comparisons already?
If you continue to insist on labeling all those you have on ignore as 'childen', you will force me to point out your childish behavior as well. Because to my mind, putting me on ignore is not much different than a spoiled little girl putting her fingers in her ears and shouting "NA-NA-NA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
I feel like some people here want negative attention, and to me, that equates to reporting them since we are in the cyber world. If it becomes a problem and all I want to give them is negative attention, I do us both a favor and just put them on ignore.
Did you get your pyschologist degree lately Trust? If not, I'll have to thank you for not applying these absurd analyzations towards me.
No, I do not want your attention or anyone else's for that matter.
'Believe it or not' as the saying goes.
Out of respect for them, and what I feel is disrespect from them, I do put them on ignore. Then I CAN'T report them, and they aren't getting ANY attention from me whatsoever, positive or negative.
Did that make sense?
No, it doesn't. I have never disrespected you prior to this 'ignore' nonsense, and you have yet to point out which post at what time ever warranted such an action.
Still waiting to know BTW.
And why this disturbing claim that we are all clamoring for your attention? I don't see that as the case with anyone else either.
When they want positive attention from me, I'll smother them with it because I love them.
I don't like giving negative attention to anyone. If I feel it's being forced out of me, it's a stumblingblock.
I hope all of that made sense
No, it doesn't. You are obviously on Neptune with this and I am on Mars, because none of your assessments or analyzations had any resemblance to how I am percieving this situation.
This is the situation as I see it, without any amateur Sigmund Freud nonsense attached to it:
We got along perfectly fine prior to this and nothing was ever said to disrespect either of us that I know of.
You suddenly put me on ignore without warning or explanation.
I PM'd you to ask you what was going on which went ignored.
I am now on ignore for no apparent reason and it is left for me to do guesswork to try and make sense of it, because it is apparently too much to ask that I get some sort of personal explanation.
And now, while rudely ignoring me, you have chosen to address the situation in your area without directly talking to me about it thinking that somehow I was not going to respond and defend myself.
Well, thanks for trying, even if it was done third person. Your explanation, however, didn't make a lick of sense to me though. Indeed, I found it condesending and patronizing.
But, whatever.
