Kind of funny, on another forum, a blackjack forum, just 2 nights ago, I put someone on ignore. It was Zengrifter. As a longterm member of the BJ community and forums, you probably are familiar with Zengrifter. He wasn't attacking me, but his whole existence is to troll and stir the pot. You just get tired of it. So yesterday when I logged on, I noticed that I couldn't see his posts as you would expect. As I began reading, I noticed that I also couldn't seen, where people had quoted him. I thought wow that's great! That is not the way most sites do the ignore.

But then as you read further, there are people quoting something he said (which you don't see) and responding to that quote (that you don't see) and it sort of makes their response kind of confusing or seem out of place. So I guess there is no real good way to do it.

It's a shame people have to be so damn disruptive that anyone would consider putting them on ignore. I am fine with reading things I don't agree with and even criticism of me or things I have said. But when a person's only intent is to be as big as dick as they can....like I said its a shame. What kind of grown adults do that?...wakes up as says I want to be as disruptive as possible and make everyone as miserable as I am? That is a really small person.
Kj, I disagree with you. I’ve learned some things about gambling and blackjack from zengrifter on that forum. I thought his comments on counter’s basic strategy was an excellent discussion. He held his own debating Don on this topic. Zengrifter’s interview that he has posted a couple times is good too.

I was on a discord channel for a while and zengrifter always added quality content. We disagreed sometimes, but it never got nasty. He’s got a sharp tongue which sometimes rubs the weaker, more sensitive members in the wrong way. That could be why you don’t like him, and you don’t want to learn anything from him.

Look, I’ve learned some things from you too, even though I don’t agree with a lot of the things you say. That’s why I’ll never put anyone on ignore. I like to learn new things, and sometimes I learn from the people I disagree with most. The key is you’ve got to keep an open mind. Knowledge can come from all sides. Even with Obama, I never put him on ignore, and I’m pretty sure I learned something from him during his 8 years as president, although right now I can’t think of anything.
