I tried using ignore once, but found I was missing half the discussions that were going on around me, coz this was a reasonably regular poster in a small forum. Now I just use the soft ignore, which involves much more self-restraint, but also means I don't miss out on seeing something being said by someone I didn't think much of that really impresses me and changes how I feel...
I thought I'd post a link to the apology one_voice made in GD to DUers who hang out in HoF about something she'd said, coz it sunk pretty quickly and people may have missed seeing it.
I would like to apologize for something I said...
In this post http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5024799 I said this
You and many others in HoF are some of the worst people I've ever come across.
I was wrong to say this. Worst was one of the worst word to use. There are so many more worse things past/present and I'm sure future. To the women of HoF I apologize, you certainly are not the worst. I would like to point out that I wasn't speaking about all of HoF but my words did affect all of them as well as others on DU.
I would like to think I'm better than what I was in that moment, but we all have our moments. I've always been able to apologize when I'm wrong, even if it's not right away, it will happen. It doesn't matter if *I* think I'm wrong (in this case I do) if I've ever been the cause of someone's pain I will apologize.
I was and am very frustrated and disappointed by a lot of what I see going on here; those are the words I should have used. I will continue to point out things I disagree with, hypocrisy when I see it, and I will stick up for people that *I* believe have been wronged.
Having said that, I hope you accept my apologize it is given with sincerity.

Disagreement is one thing, but I truly do not understand some people's animosity towards you.

they say HoF - we say TMG. I will never mention TMG ever again. That is my start toward peace in DU.
