I have never used the ignore function, though I have been tempted. I see it as rude in cutting people off, but it might be better than extreme irritation.
The baseline of this thread is correct, many here err both in manners and discussion.
I argue for the simple approach, stick to the point in discussion, attack ideas if necessary on their merits and avoid personal attacks.
I try to live by that and have at times failed to see that something I typed could be read in a way other than I meant. I am always prepared to back step and apologize should I do wrong. And or clarify better what was meant.
Manners, Etiquette, are important to a civil society as is honesty in thought and word. It is erroneous to assume a disagreement of fact is a question of character. If one sees misinformation (falsehood) identify and restate what is believed to be fact.
We are all bound by a love a doubleguns. That bond and simple manners are to everyone's advantage
