Your biases are obvious to everyone.

Just as the bias of every other 'opinion' in the AFL is obvious to everyone.

My beef with you is that you say that anyone puts forward that their opinion is unbiased should be believed.

Even if they say it is we all know that is rubbish.

Everyone. EVERYONE. In the system is compromised.

The first art of talk in the AFL is lying. You can be sure than most of the time what you hear from someone in the system is a lie. Always cracks me up to this day when posters come on claiming that A said A then it must be true.
You have a beef with me but I don't think it has anything to do with what I just said about bias. Considering you wished you could put me on ignore not long ago, I guess I should be flattered you are actually conversing.

I don't think that everybody that says their opinion is unbiased should be believed. Never said it, never implied it. I just think that if somebody claims to be unbiased or is in a position where they probably should be unbiased but don't exhibit it, then they are fair game to be called out on it.

I take everything with an open mind and a hint of caution. I'm happy to entertain rumours and hypothesise but accept as gospel .... not likely.

Uggh, this sentence reveals everything about why I would LOVE to have you on ignore.

The fact that I actually responded to one of your posts with at least a pretense of logic and you come up with that self serving rubbish says it all.

Serenity now. Serenity now ........ Serenity now.

There was nothing logical in what you said in that I wasn't doing what you said I was doing.

Let's face it J. You have a bug up your arse for no good reason. We have never clashed but you have had a few pot shots. I can only assume it has something to do with some board wars that got built up in your head.

I get along with everybody that wants to be gotten along with. Your issues are your issues.

I've always wondered what the criteria is for becoming a mod...

I think I know now.

Patience....
Patience, ability to pretend you understand cryptic messages, taking on board irrational hatred, heaps of things.

A little bit obscure when people that come here come from other boards possible to do the bidding of others. Used to be a time when we would all send a PM to each other if there was a concern.

You seem quite grumpy.

All I want to do is to have the ability to ignore you. That is all.

It should have zero effect on you and will make my life so much easier with (much much much) less scrolling.

I don't want to make you angry, but at the same time, time is precious and my own personal time would be so much better if I could ignore your contributions.

No need for me to be grumpy.

For someone that wants to ignore me, you do a poor job by reading and quoting my posts. If you lack the self control to overlook my posts and can't resist making oh so clever comments about posters you wish to ignore, the only way the software allows for a fix is if someone removes your access to the board.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Kind regards

It would not be an issue if there was less content to scroll past.

Every other person on this board I do not like reading I can ignore.

In real life, if someone is not my cup of tea, guess what, I don't keep listening to them or seek them out. I do what every normal person does and ignore them.

But here. In Bigfooty. People are forced to read (or scroll past) the thoughts of people they would rather not read. Simply because they are a mod.

When you read the Carlton forum mostly and the mod you do want to ignore writes post after post and paragraph after paragraph that you would prefer to ignore it can be pretty annoying.

This has nothing to do with other forums. Of the time I spend on footy forums now 95% of it is on Bigfooty because there is a good community, funny people, some informative, a good mix. It is a pretty good place. I just get frustrated that one of the top people I would have on my ignore list is not possible to ignore.

Can you understand that, without taking it personally?

Anyone can ignore me and good on them. I have zero care if anyone and everyone ignores me. I read Bigfooty to read what I want to read. Not what I do not want to read.

I'm gonna take a stab here and say the issue isn't about the inability to put a mod on ignore...
I think you feel the need to let ODN know how much you dislike him (which is your right I suppose) , but I think he gets it, He's pretty cluey...

So, mission accomplished I would've thought...

I find it hard to believe that you can make a decision that someone never has and never will have anything interesting to say without some sort of personal slant on it.

Having said that, you can't put me on ignore so we return to the choices I gave you. Hopefully that will be the end of the continual negative interjections.

No, it is that I would like to put ODN on ignore and I cannot. There are other mods who would be put on ignore as well. It is a stupid rule and is annoying, so as it is stupid and annoying, I will mention that it is stupid and annoying.

Very simple.

He once accused me of being negative all the time. That was the first time I even knew there was a problem. I mistakingly thought we got along fine and had some sort of mutual respect due to work on various boards.

Whenever I ask, I get this whole I just want to ignore your posts biz. I know I say things some disagree with and vice versa. Nature of discussion forums and vive le difference.

I do respect honesty and communication though. If you have an issue, articulate it. No closure if the other person doesn't know why you are shitty.

May as well be channelling my wife ;)

Now please don't misunderstand me, I'm not having a go, although if you think I am, you can always put me on ignore, but...

If the rule is stupid and annoying and yet there's no chance it will be changed, isn't having the discussion over and over stupid and annoying???

Kind of like when I bang on about Gibbs not going anywhere... See, stupid and annoying.

Yeah, your a stupid jerk ODN, you talk too much and you stink of twinkies, Tacos and sauerkraut mixed together!

Jokes :)

Please don't ban me. I love all your posts...

Why are we all up anyways? Not like a trade will happen at this time, or probably this week for matter of fact.

Night jerks!

The reason you can't ignore a mod is because they may need to communicate something to you in relation to rules or warnings. No point having mods if nobody listens.
