Enough is enough. You made your point pages ago. Stop. Exit the thread and go start your own or I will report your thread-trolling to the mods.

When you know what is wrong it's too late. OK! Good luck! But I will see what you can get from your so called trolling.

For me it was very helpful to take a break from things toxic that i could during the process. But after establishing what i was searching for. And it being able to flow through things that are or could be seen aa toxic, being able to flow through anger, sadness, jealously and so on without a break from the bliss is a good thing. To me it shows how great god is. In that superseding and or being with all things is bliss.

Yeah, I see it as twofold - these experiences help us to learn discernment, to recognise what people and situations we want and don't want in our lives, and they also help us to navigate more negative people and situations when they do inevitably appear in our lives. And I agree, at certain points in your life it's definitely helpful for your development to take a break from toxic things, and to cut ties that don't serve you (I'm at this point atm, it's kinda like an incubation period - it can feel very lonely at times, but I feel it's necessary).

Just as a lay member observation and not meaning to 'backseat moderate', it just comes through experience.

A couple of weeks ago, I was involved in an almost similar incident. I learned that if no respect can be shared, the next step is the ignore list.

Sometimes, it is obvious from reply #1 that certain people cannot be 'reasoned with' and even trying to do so will end up in a stalemate argument, so we learn things for next time.

What I am posting to say is there is no shame in ignoring people because often that's the most peaceful, kindest and respectful thing one can do. It's also not a case of 'he who speaks last speaks loudest' even though people like to believe that and carry on and on, just to have the final say.

I have learned my lesson, so I just hoped that other people may too, if I share this. Thank you.

Good post, Necro. I used to think the whole concept of the ignore list was pretty childish, but there comes a point where you feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall and all you're getting out of it is a sore head and high blood-pressure, so it's a necessary function, imo. Otherwise, you run the risk of ruining thread after thread with unconstructive and tiresome bickering.
