If you mean censoring, it's not. Almost the opposite in fact.

If you mean censuring, it's not that either and I'm confused.




censoring*


how is it almost the opposite?

Wish I was too good for the ignore feature.

:snub:




Just work customer service in a coorporate environment where external solutions aren't an option because the customer is always right. Its a quality born out of my environment and has nothing to do with being "too good". Internal change is my default even when external is possible. Thus no urge to ignore.

Censoring limits your freedom of expression.
By using ignore, a member allows you to express yourself without limits.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

I worked in a call center for a year, and just made me all the more appreciative of being able to selectively ignore annoying or belligerent people.

Edit: just saw the duration.

Maybe I'm just cut for the job because I'm working on my 5th year and don't mind it.

I've been working in customer service the past few years and know what you mean.

though I believe one can have this quality, yet still have a justifiable reason for not wanting to listen to someone talk.  one way to look at it... it's human nature for personalities to clash.  there's nothing wrong with wanting to surround oneself with a more comforting environment, IMO.

You're right. There is more to this picture than meets the eye. Because I do ignore some stuff, like the news and politics.

youre a silly goose!

the person placing people on ignore is very basically censoring, for themselves, the content of the website

Quote:

transitive verb
: to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable <censor the news>; also : to suppress or delete as objectionable <censor out indecent passages>




we arent talking about society at large seesh, its not about "freedom of expression" it is just one user omitting others for whatever reason they might have

I find it very funny that Doc_T has you on ignore, since he is a conservative also. :smile:
