Because a lot of us use silly made up names and I can't put a face to any name, I often forget who might have annoyed me. Probably a good thing. Reply to this message | Report message

Some other forums I've frequented have an "ignore" list, to which you can add other users, and their posts are automatically hidden from your view in subsequent threads. My advice is to just ignore manually the stuff that winds you up. Just as in real life, some people occasionally say things on here that annoy me, but then in another thread they'll say something interesting or something I agree with completely. Healthy conversation is surely as much about conflicting point of views and having people challenge your own ideas as it is about finding things in common. And don't get riled when people disagree with you. It's not personal. It's an internet forum. Unless you're talking about personal insults of course, which is something quite different.

I guess its sometimes a shame when people are deliberately antagonistic which sometimes stifles an otherwise decent thread, but at the end of the day, there are always attention seeking numbnuts in any group of people and you can just live in hope that occasionally they say something halfway helpful/positive.

Part of the fun for me is reading other people's occasionally outrageous posts. If I'm in the mood I'll bite back or if not I won't. The trick is in assessing whether they are serious or just having a bit of fun. As for caring what anyone else thinks of me, for the most part I don't really I'm afraid. Sorry.

A curmudgeon's reputation for malevolence is undeserved. They're neither warped nor evil at heart. They don't hate mankind, just mankind's absurdities. They're just as sensitive and soft-hearted as the next person, but they hide their vulnerability beneath a crust of misanthropy. They ease the pain by turning hurt into humour They attack maudlinism because it devalues genuine sentiment. Nature, having failed to equip them with a servicable denial mechanism, has endowed them with astute perception and sly wit. Curmudgeons are mockers and debunkers whose bitterness is a symptom rather than a disease. They can't compromise their standards and can't manage the suspension of disbelief necessary for feigned cheerfulness. Their awareness is a curse. Perhaps curmudgeons have got a bad name in the same way that the messenger is blamed for the message: They have the temerity to comment on the human condition without apology. They not only refuse to applaud mediocrity, they howl it down with morose glee. Their versions of the truth unsettle us, and we hold it against them, even though they soften it with humour. Any hands up from people who identify with that? Reply to this message | Report message       4

Did you get your negatives confused Z? On another point, I'm not sure that to keep on mentioning that you're ignoring someone on purpose actually counts as ignoring them; Its more just refusing to speak to them even though you're still paying attention to what they do. Surely to really ignore someone you'd have to not only not mention that you were ignoring them but actually not even be aware that you are ignoring them. If you're ignoring them on purpose, then you're not really ignoring them since trying to ignore them is a reaction to their actions and thus ignoring them is specifically not ignoring them. And talking about ignoring them just makes it even more obvious that you're not. I suspect that even deciding to ignore someone means that you're that you're not actually ignoring them. In order to really be ignoring them you'd have to decide to ignore them and then forget that you'd decided that but still ignore them anyway more or less by accident. Actually ignoring them would mean that you couldn't even remember the reasons that you decided to ignore them without payng attention to them and thus failing to ignore them. As an aside, I rather like Zero's point that if someone is ignoring you then you can say or do anything you want. I might try that with the kids, a bit too risky to try with the wife though.

Substitue the Sazon Goya with two tablespoons of a sweet mexican salza from a jar, I prefer to use three scotch bonnet peppers instead of the one jalapeno. Serve over tortilla chips, sprinkled with cheese then browned under the gril or Spoon over a hot dog to make a chile dog or Spoon over a baked jacket potato or spread over a grilled nan.

Scullery. Still a phrase used in the family due to old houses we visit. Best scullery ever was the first room leading from the back door in an aunts Georgian house. White lime wash walls smelling of the combined odours of just a hind of damp and that green or red soap that came in big blocks and lasted ages (Fairy?). Belfast sink, huge taps and bleached wood draining boards. Door off led to a toilet off with cast high level cistern, white painted flint walls and a faded cartoon hanging up that referred to W C Grace.... not knowing the guy I didn't get the joke.
