-5, I was not defending your idiotic posts.
Using the ignore feature is an individual choice for each member to make. There are logical arguments that point to the fact that using the ignore feature is NOT repression of speech. I acknowledged that. My point was how it FELT to me rather than if the it was repression of speech or not.

I am not stopping him from speaking, any more than I am stopping Charles Krauthammer from writing op ed pieces by not reading his pieces. This site comes into my home with my permission and participation and I am rather fissy about who I let in the door.

Beg to differ, 51 responses and none on topic. Mission accomplished. Then there is the judicious use of the ignore feature. Very effective.

Repression is how -5 views someone ignoring him? I thought I had heard it all but this is absurd.

Barbara, liken the ignore feature to the FF feature on DVR's.

Freedom of speech includes freedom to listen. Speech is not speech if no one is allowed to hear you.
But freedom to listen has to also include freedom not to listen.
The key is who decides. Deciding for yourself is freedom. Someone else deciding for you is repression.

I can see why you might offere a suggestion like that. Jerking off has always worked so well for you. It's generous of you to offer it as a help to others.
