(26,617 posts)If I decide that I never want to see DUer X, I put him on ignore. He disappears entirely, and my DU experience is harmonious. The cost to me is that I lose sight of every reply to DUer X, but that's my choice.
If DUer X decides he hates the sight of me, then he can likewise put me on ignore.
But, if DUer X ignoring me simultaneously disappears him to me, then I also lose sight of every reply made to him. I don't see that as fair or appropriate - DUer X's decision to ignore me shouldn't be allowed to cut me off from some posts by DUers Y, Z, A, B and C. (And beyond that, I don't really see why any poster should be able to choose to be invisible to any other on a public message board - that capability is already built into the option of choosing not to post...)
