Ignore lists serve an additional purpose as well; you never have to rationally analyze your own belief system. If someone posts something that challenges your way of thinking or perhaps creates a bit of cognitive dissonance, then just put that person on your ignore list. Whew!!! Now you don't have to overtax your thinking by either examining your position on that troubling topic or even speak up for your self. Your paradigms remain intact. Good for you!!!

Last, just put an offensive person on your ignore list. Don't bother telling that person what they did to offend or challenge their viewpoint -- that takes thought and a little work. Don't trouble yourself.

I suspect politicians use ignore lists. I won't reveal my political positions by identifying the guilty Party (all Parties do it, but one much more so than others). I don't like what those people say, so let's not listen to them!!! Yay!!! Everything is right with my universe again. Wow -- that was a close call!!! IK almost had to think for a second. The Ignore list allowed me to dodge another bullet. Thanks ignore list!!! You saved me once again!!!

Ignore lists remind me somehow of a little kid who gets in a disagreement during play time. Instead of noodling the situation through to a resolution, the little guy just takes his ball and goes home.

Of course and as always, I have no opinion on this topic.

I just followed mrs gurney's advice and put myself on my ignore list. The only trouble is that I have to log on using an alias in order to see what I post.

Wow, you miss a lot if you don't stay tuned in all day.

Good Morning All!

Today is my Friday.

Gathering up the nerve to possibly cut open my front bumper to install my Nismo RC brake ducts tomorrow. Maybe.

It seems there is a lot more cutting and fitting of the duct tubes themselves first due to clearance issues behind the bumper. I figure it makes more sense to finish trimming the ducts before opening the bumper and then potentially messing up the ducts and having nothing to install in my freshly cut bumper.

Self-confidence is such a wonderful thing!

I'll keep everyone up-to-date on the progress tomorrow with pictures. If one of the pictures is of me hanging from a garage rafter by an extension cord, you will pretty well be able to guess how the install went.

Have a good day all.
