The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSo I have five Star Members blocking mail from me but not ignoring me.
What's up with that? It's not as though I have a habit of harassing people via PM.
Who'd go to the trouble of blocking mail from me but not ignoring me outright?
Puzzling.

(19,288 posts)I had quite a few on ignore for a while and then thought what the heck, and took them off full ignore, and left them on block mail to remember who they were. Just in case.

Maybe people are sending you to the cornfield just to mess with you.

(56,912 posts)I have decided to quit posting numbers though. meh.
however, I do think the next Meta *cough* question to make the rounds is:
How many people are on your jury black list?
I think star members get fifteen slots and non-stars get five.
Wonder how many people are using all of their slots.

(10,559 posts)It was ... Unpleasant, but I was able to use some of the worst lines as comedy material in educational videos, so not a total waste of time.

I forget how this works but, I think if you have them on your block mail you will NOT be called to jury their posts, is this right?
sort of like a reverse Jury Black List kind of thing.

(10,559 posts)(Because they were behaving like idiots / insulting me "because it is okay to do in meta" - so glad it is gone!)

(56,912 posts)If they are on YOUR mail ignore list YOU will not be called to jury THEIR posts but, they can be called to jury YOURS.
If THEY put you on THEIR mail ignore then THEY will NOT be called to jury YOUR posts.
I always get it mixed up ... so what you are saying is that
mail ignore is another way to extend the Jury Black List, is that right?
Am I understanding all this correctly now?
Thanks, IdaBriggs

so 9 or 10 disliking you ain't nothing.
If NO ONE ignored you or blocked mail,
then you wouldn't have been really speaking your mind.
and methinks (so far) that you are not a terrible person.
This IS a discussion board - some on the juries don't get that.
Differences of opinion are normal even within a small circle of face to face friends.
So it should not be a shock that within a gang of over 200,000 that there will be friction.
Think we should let most of them sort it out themselves.
Gotta be careful here - "no whining about DU"
Was I whining?

(56,912 posts)whining is pretty much allowed all over DU now. the only place it bugs Skinner is in the Hosts group. See ATA for confirmation.

(27,247 posts)I have no idea who 3 of them are. One is ignoring me because I tried to explain to him in a thread about the saturated car market in Japan

(20,776 posts)Well, we know its not Bonobo san! Where has he been lately?
Art_from_Ark
(27,247 posts)I think he might be out enjoying the fine summer weather on his island.
But then again, checking the weather report, it looks like he's getting rained on like I am. The tsuyu/baiu zensen (rainy season front) has arrived and is covering nearly the entire country right now
AsahinaKimi
(20,776 posts)and enjoy the cooler weather during a normally hot summer!

(41,694 posts)Actually, I think it's funny.
I don't ignore anyone, if I don't want to read someone's posts, I just don't read them
Orrex
(63,233 posts)I'm manually ignoring a bunch of people, but I'm only actually ignoring 2.
One has been a persistent and consistent jerk for as long as I've been on DU, and the other has a tendency to dump an avalanche of (to me) useless posts into the forum daily, to the point that it was too much work wading through his stuff to get to what I wanted to read.
I'm up to 106/111 now. Go figure.
