Default blocking someone???

Is it possible to block the posts of another member? Just so I won't have to even waste a second on what this person might have to say? Just curious.

Thanks in advance

I am with you Joe. I would like to able to this a well. Sometimes people have an agenda and just end up wasting the time of others to push it through. Of course time is the most valuable asset we have in this world. Wasting another's time in one's own interest should equate to material theft. Who knows why they behave the way they do. I've seen people come in under fake names and schill a product, and others do the same in order to degrade anothers ideas. This behavior is bad for community. I wish to ignore these people but how can we?

Find a post from that special someone. Click on the little rolodex card under their post. In the lower blue bar, click "Add <User> to your ignore list".

The only reason I don't do this is because it's often entertaining to see what somebody said when others start flaming them... puts it all in context.

So this means that as I type this the only one ever reading it could be ME !! Much better than a gas boycott .........."excuse me sir but as far as I am concerned you no longer exist "....

Sometimes, on some forums, talking to yourself is the only intelligent conversation you get.

Unless you start quoting yourself while talking to yourself.

...but if you start quoting yourself while talking to yourself, probably you will be ending blocking yourself...the result? you, yourself and your shark (life gets interesting)
