Yeah for me it's a mix of bigots, people who I find incapable of contributing anything of value, ********, trolls, and one poster who makes fine points but very post is a treatise and I'd prefer to not have to scroll past every one of his posts.

I've got 30 and several, like that **** jayhawk fan, are on the list a couple of times. My list would probably be in the 50's if every Covid-19 thread didn't get caved immediately.
I wonder if I am on any ignore lists? What kind of an ******* would put Snoopy on ignore?
^Reminds me of something else. It's kinda disturbing when someone you have on ignore because they are a despicable excuse for a human being and they react with an agree or like to your post. 
I do remember Rain Forest. I just don't remember Master Jack's.At one time there were three business in the Runway complex - the Runway, the Rain Forest, and Master Jack's. Kinda like one-stop shopping.
Yeah. I don't have Argent on ignore, but it always gives me pause when I happen to agree with him on an issue. Luckily it very rarely happens.^Reminds me of something else.

Our building finally solved its age-old Internet problem.
Forever ago, when this one guy bought the building, a swindler set him up with this Internet package where everything ran through our apartment, instead of hookups in each apartment. It created troubles and confusion for years for a bunch of reasons (mostly tied to the swindler dude setting up something only he would bother to track).
So, this guy finally decided to sell the building entirely. In the process, he decided that cable and internet just weren't part of the lease anymore. As Mediacom worked that through, they moved the cable bill to our name.
It's important to note here that nobody gave us any notice of any of this. We just sat here and said "whoa, that bill jumped."
Solution: cut the cord, buy our own Internet service (and still through Mediacom because awesome).
Good news: Fastest Internet we've ever had. Simple connection to trace. Just cable to modem to router. And only one remote.
Bad news: That's one expensive surprise.

@Cyclones_R_GR8 , do you suppose we should fire up the traditional **** Iowa thread during what would have been Hate Week if the scurvy hawks hadn't decided to duck us this year?
Two days ago I checked our Mediacom account to verify what our size plan is and find that we've used 61% of our data plan in the first six days of this month. What??? Checked our wifi system and find a device we don't recognize and can't figure out what it is, so put it on pause. That's all I could do. Check again a couple of hours later and that device is gone. Changed our wifi password, but as of today we've used nearly three-fourths of our monthly data and still have 23 days to go. Thank goodness Mediacom is allowing overages through the end of this year.
We've had months were they said we used 1.4 Tears of data and the next was like 0.2 tears. I had upped us to 2 Tears when we cut cable, but it didn't seem to change much.

I'm always up for a **** Iowa thread. The hard part is thinking up some new and creative ways to say it.
It's been said many times, many ways...I'm always up for a **** Iowa thread. The hard part is thinking up some new and creative ways to say it.
Your list sounds a lot like mine, including the last poster. I've taken a few off, and there's a bunch that are ancient alts no longer in use.
I just went through and unignored (as CF says) probably half the people there a few minutes ago. Most were hawk trolls that I don't if they post anymore.
I WON the mail game today. Just grabbed it and I had a magazine (Beef- I've been rude to these people and tried to stop it but it keeps coming) that is just nothing, a bill and a payment. I won because the payment was more than the bill. winner winner chicken dinner.
If you stay out of the cave and the ISR threads, there aren't that many people that are worth ignoring, other than me.
