What if in off-topic the person has retarded political opinions you can't stand but in gaming on vanilla subjects they just have average stuff to say?
1) I don't put someone on ignore for what they believe
2) In that scenario, if I did that, the removal of "retarded political opinions" that annoyed me would not make me miss the "average stuff to say" the person posts in gaming. Maybe if they were an above average poster it would register.
Also when I tend to see someone announce they're going to ignore someone, it's rather for 2 or 3 posts going against the blocker's political beliefs that hurt their fee-fees than anything else.
I don't announce it, and again, it's never for a belief a person has expressed. I just get fed up with
personalities that I feel do not add much value or simply annoy me on a daily basis.
It's funny that people jump to the conclusion that it's an ideological thing, like, there are a handful of posters here I feel like ignoring a lot, whom I agree with entirely, simply because I'm tired of their schtick.
