"ignore" is kind of pointless when so many users love to quote the trolls and I have to see their blather anyways. If anything, this thread has strengthened my critical analysis skills. I read, think, then disregard about 90% of everything in here. Just like watching the news on tv, you learn to read between the lines and spot outright manipulation and lies.
True, and that's generally how I operate but I'd say reading and discerning the value of every post in this troll infested thread is way more pointless than making use of ignore. You could also use those mental skills to quickly skip the quoted crap too. You'll save yourself a lot of time.
