"Ignore" function? Wow.
I'd certainly hope that such a function doesn't work on here. I think that IF it worked, we'd have a polarized blog and look rather small.
I think the two named posters in the thread represent the polar opposite of how they feel about certain players.
Furthermore, in representing that "Polar Opposite" you can have NO wiggle room in your thoughts and ideas, thus creating contempt when you post the same thing over and over.
The thing that can cause anger in some is when you try discourse, backed up by facts, and are not responded to. Or you see the same posters responding to the same people, thus giving the appearance of "Cliques".
