AOL has those too Nikki and I like that I do not use it on AOL but would here for a couple of posters I now JUST ignore on my own but it would cut my scrolling time down to have it..As you said one can choose to use or not to use it.
> At the website I use, its not a permanent decision.. much like the babble mail thing, you can turn it on and off for posters.. so, simply as an example, I was going through a period where your posts grated on me (remember, just an example, you have never grated on me), I could choose an option where I could ignore all posts by you. If a few days later I was feeling stronger, I could then choose to take you off ignore.

> The few times I have used it at the other place, its only been a temporary measure. Just when I was feeling particularly sensitive - and when I'm feeling sensitive, I'm not the most rational of people, and so had problems staying away from that persons posts - and I always regret my words the next morning..
