If we keep adding people we disagree with to the ignore list, we're not going to have much debate are we? What will happen is that GW will become a segregated, apartheid-type messageboard with people only debating and conversing with people with the same POV. Is that what messageboards are about? This is why I think the Ignore Function is a negative aspect of the messageboard, and if it's possible for the admins to disable it for all users I think it would be a good idea.
