All hail Skippy!

How about instead of a warn flag for such cases a little Skippy is present?

Skippy needed a change of scenery.

Just bumping this up the the front of the pack.
With emotions running high as the election draws near, skippy to the rescue.

Au contraire, Skippy is one of the most widely internationally syndicated mainstream series of all time, possibly top 10.

But Skippy doesn't get into as many mainstream places as Satan does.

Skippy in a top hat and cold Bud in hand (err Paw)?

Frogs, Lizards, Horses (including Clydesdales) and Dogs have surrendered and moved to the unemployment line!

BUD ...... WEIS ....... ERrrrrr

Why is there even an ignore button?
for anyone to actually click this button is the opposite of denial of ignorance and expresses their lack of self control.

How will you tell ignorance from enlightenment if you cant put the 2 side by side to compare. If youve ignored a poster, but the topic and discussions keep that person ingrained in the thread, are you just counting yourself out of that portion of the conversation?

If your only choice at self control is to click this button, then you need help.
sticks and stones ring a bell? then words should never hurt you.

Everyone has the right to express their opinion, and while clicking ignore doesnt deny them their right to post, it denies YOU the right to live where all opinions can be heard, simply for your own emotional comfort. By tuning anyone out youve begun to censer yourself, effectivly cutting off your little corner of the universe... denying yourself interactions with others because you dont like hearing what they are saying.
grow up. not everyone will agree with you, and you should be adult enough to handle that.

You have the first ammendment rights to assemble with those that expouse your similar beliefs, so by clicking ignore, you are effectivly creating an online experiance that fits with only your beliefs. (those like yours).
While this is your right, remember that using it is more exclusionary than inclusionary.
How does excluding opinions from others serve to deny ignorance (even if they bring ignorant ideas) How would you know if they brought genius to the discussion if you've ignored that poster from remrks made 3 posts back?

isnt clicking ignore actually enabling you to discriminate against someone?
It does, it segragates YOU from the entirety of the discussion.

Let people say what they will, be frustrated with them, debate the topic not the person....and if your really steamed at them, JUST DONT RESPOND!!! Skip over them in your discussions and interactions. I find this usually gets them rattled.

I dont come here to read all the same crap i already know/believe...i come here to interact with others with different views. To me, the ignore button is one i'll never push as i feel it totally is self censorship in order to keep me from reading something that might disturb me.

Skippy is not advocating use of the ignore button, he is merely offering himself as a furry, odd-smelling alternative.

Pure Genius. I think every one that advocates this should but a small W.W.S.D? in their signature...
Lets spread peace and love.
And it will be great to p off the fanatics.

now where are those durn star trekky tribbles when you need 'em. just don't feed them after midnite-

"Skippy, skippy, skippy a freind brave and true"

Ah thanks for some fun memorys Kano, loved skippy as a kid!

Now you mad me feel old you $#@^, i feel board rage comin on!

Hey where is Kano, I have not seen him around in a long time.

Well thanks UK, I have to keep an eye on Kano, you know.

He was my first mod........................

That gave me my first and only red warn on my first week on ATS.

I will never forget him

In 1974, after using a pair of artificial kangaroo hands to create a diversion, Skippy escaped from Ranger Hammond's detention center and made a break for the outback. Tragically, while being chased down by her captors in the park helicopter, Skippy was killed by a logging truck when crossing the Hume Highway. Following that, "Skippy" was played by a succession of alcoholic midgets in a kangaroo suit, until the Australian Government placed a ban on employing dwarves in demeaning occupations. Ranger Hammond was later extradited to Poland to face charges in connection with war crimes, and Sonny is still undergoing rehabilitation for his addiction to gum leaves.

Excellent expert probing, probe.

Did you see when the real life Ranger Hammond returned inebriated and deranged at a celebration of a certain milestone in TV history, to molest Gary Pankhurst on stage and refer to Kerry (in the front row) by the name of his dead father Frank?

That was comedy.
