And what better way to not even be tempted to respond than to not even see the post of someone who constantly posts things that offend/upset/anger you?

Well, you can usually guess who the author is from the title...

I can't deny that it would be nice to hit an ignore button on someone's profile, and I may sound hypocritical when I say that I've used that function to block someone from sending me private messages on another site.

But if it's already been said that it isn't going to happen on this site, then the next best thing to do if the moderators don't uphold your protest about somebody, is to just not give them the satisfaction by taking the bait.

Pretty much this, the whole "grow thicker skin" jargon doesn't apply to everyone and nor should it, if it were then Scotsmen would own everyone in the world who can't "man up" and log toss with a single arm because that's where grow thicker skin goes towards.

I also expected the blatant use of "I'm trying my best to offend you and that's fine but just ignore me which proves my point", which is to go along the very so thin line of baiting others and dodging any form of criticism and the thought of perfect logic (protip: it's not).

See the problem with the "grow thicker skin" camp is that they see their side as the logically perfect and undienbly right side that also happens to not look into any other side but their own and anyone who isn't on their side needs to grow a pair, that's probably the worst aspect of that camp and it still perpetuates to this day even though they are quite illogical while also not understanding how the human mind let alone the rest of humanity works, it's better for them to care about a very small few that think just like they do than to open their mind to others, which in turn is very close and simple minded if not ignorant at best.

Where does it stop? I find any word beging with letter T to be offensive (as a child letter person T fell on my head durring kindergarden and I've been messed up ever since) as a result I should not learn about how I should deal with it and all should accomodate ME by not using any words in your post beging with letter T. Where do you stop? All kinds of minds on our planet ...

This sums it up perfectly !

I like VGchartz and I read more posts than I write, but there are some users which spread a lot of SPAM (imo) almost daily.

Would be nice to have a function to ignore them in general before entering each single OT.

(You don't see the author of a new topic on the front page only the title)

It stops when the grow thicker skin camp stops, otherwise you're just asking everyone else to adhere to them.

Do we all exist to adhere to them?, is growing the skin the only option we have these days?.
