Bananas and Nuts

What is up with people feeling the need to announce over and over that they have people on ignore? If you have someone on ignore, why are you not just ignoring them? Am I missing the point of ignore? Is it really just a status symbol thing?

“Ignore” is the new “jihad”. You pissed me off? I declare Ignore on you!

Exactly. You need to inform the hated person in the most blatant way possible. The anger in your body needs to be relieved and must be enabled to freely flow to the ignored person so it will bend itself in pain and misery.

It is more than jihad, it’s rather like hell on earth with bloodstreams feeding the oceans of pure hatred.

You are causing a great imbalance in my choleric humours. I declare Ignore on you!

I may have been poking fun at Jarmo, but please do continue to hurf and durf, lads.

Well that was pretty obscure. It’s not like that particular rule hasn’t been argued over in earnest in the last week.

I vote we get stusser to rename the ignore feature to PLONK

TimElhajj · 2010-11-03T08:56:46.000Z

I just thought up a new feature for Facebook.

Tim Elhajj PLONK you. PLONK back?

Cosmic_Hippo · 2010-11-03T09:09:27.000Z

Seriously, who broke the Elhajj?

Oh, yes. Derek Smart was famous for this on Usenet. He would announce he was ignoring someone by posting PLONK, but never actually do it, then forget about it and reply to their instigator posts a couple days later. This went on for decades.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that maybe 10% of the people that say they’re ignoring someone actually follow through.

This thread is no fun any more. I demand more angry and less-butthurt yentas, damnit!

Demon_G_Sides · 2010-11-03T09:45:18.000Z

Hey Lynch, I’m one of the few people who doesn’t absolutely hate you. Well, I was. So congrats on that I guess?

I’m pretty sure PLONK and “Ignored” are mostly just another way to say “downvote”. In most cases, thre’s never even an intent to actually ignore the user, just an intent to declare one’s opprobium.

I am posting in this thread to announce my impending IGNORE on everyone who has posted in this thread. Please stand by for further developments.

John_Many_Jars · 2010-11-03T09:50:26.000Z

I would just like to say that “Plonk” was the nickname of the late Ronnie Lane, bass player and second vocalist for the Small Faces and the Faces.

Also, as sole moderator of this thread I would like to say that I fucked a canteloupe once.

What’s the legal age for cantaloupe in your state?

You gotta thump the melon to tell when the meat’s just right.
