If it only would be so then I wouldn't have any problem with the ignore function. I don't use it but if members here feel that they need to ignore others to keep their peace of mind and the peace of the forum - fine.

What I really find annoying is bragging with having set someone on ignore. It's more than one time that I've read such a dialog:

A: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit …
(=not a tiny bit wrong with this post)
B: [quote=A]Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit …[\quote]
+ answer Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit …
C: B, could you please stop citing A. I have him on my ignore list, this annoys me.

Don't know what you think about such a post that doesn't bring forward the discussion in any way. Is C simply selfish/self-centered/egotistical, is C deliberately hurting, is C just mischievous? In my mind, the ignore function isn't a peace keeping function in this case any more.
