reply or any replies to to them. The whole thread that they start will be invisible to you.

so in other words, it puts horse blinders on us, we can't see them but they can see us?

kind of a one way street.

everything I write, with convincing-sounding "facts" and "logic", making me look stupid and ignorant, and I'm totally unaware of their post. So I don't respond and everyone reading the thread thinks that I have no response to that replier's "great" points.

But to have that ability of a reverse ignore -- blocking someone from seeing what I write -- that would lead to a lot of foul use. I could be crapping -- with convincing-sounding "facts" and "logic" -- on posts that someone else writes and that person would never know because I put them on reverse ignore. That is most certainly unfair and something that I wouldn't want done to me. So I am extremely very vehemently strongly opposed to such a feature.

With the regular ignore (1st paragraph), I'm choosing to be an ostrich.

With the "reverse ignore" (2nd paragraph), someone is making the choice to make me an ostrich.

Which makes it tough if you're on MIRT.

Also, it should hide posts on the front page.
