IRL, hubby has to go in for carpal tunnel surgery in early April. He put it off so long that he can't ignore it any longer.

I had about 25 people on ignore. Opposing views don't necessarily land someone on my list, but nastiness does. Since the amnesty, all kinds of people who legitimately should have been on time out have flooded the board, and I seem to be averaging about 5 new posters a day on my ignore list. I find myself hanging out in our protected group more as well.

But I soooo wish for some site enhancements...

Anyone on my Ignore list just never show up to me...their posts nor their replies...I so want that!

And, if I Trash a group...stuff posted there never appears to me, say in Trending...another thing I so want.

I feel like I'm poked in the eye when I stumble into that group or have to see posts that I don't want to.
