That ignore list seems a bit infantile to me; but, that's JMHO. It reminds me of the lyrics to a children's song:
"I don't want to play in your yard,
I don't like you anymore,
You'll be sorry when you see me,
Sliding down our cellar door,
You can't holler down our rainbarrel,
You can't climb our apple tree,
I don't want to play in your yard
If you won't be good to me."

If you won't be good to me."

But this is one thing many alcoholics have in common. Interesting thread.

I taught daycare at a lab school at University for 10 years..my degree is
in Early Childhood and Psychology..
Wonder how I became alcoholic..sheesh..
What I always observed year after year..
The bully in the play yard is the most unhappy and lonely little boy..

i agree on its infantility thats for sure as if we're not already complicated an confused enough in early recovery or at any stage in recovery
something like that could be real dangerous to the very sensitive addict/alcoholic

Too Mutch...
You?
Good grief...
What is the world coming to....
Great! Am I the only person on an ignore list? Sounds about right.... LOL.
I know I am on someones ignore list because he made sure to tell me he was putting me there.

IOS...we have something in common besides the alcoholism and sensitivity. My associate degree is in Early Childhood Education. Unfortunately, I never got to use it. But, I'm not going to whine over it...just one of those things.

I just re-read this thread and I noticed that SelfSeeking described me perfectly regarding my assumption that the rest of the world hates me as much as I hate myself!! So true - sad, but true.
As far as the thank you button goes... I've sometimes worried that someone will take my thanks, or lack of thanks, too personally and think I dislike someone cause I didn't thank them, and so on... So to anyone thinking I don't like them cause I didn't thank them - well excuuuusssseee meeee!!
Same way with the 'friend request'. I often wonder if I should just request friendship with everyone... tho having 45,000 friends would make my profile rather unwieldy and take up too many pages!
Whether I use the thank you button or not, I learn something from everyone here, if nothing more than just seeing from someone else's perspective. And when I can see thru someone else's perspective, whether I agree with them or not, I am learning something.
Does that make any sense??
:ghug
On another forum I belong to, the ignore list just means you can't see that person's responses. Is that how it works here also? So if someone is ignoring you, you can ignore them as well. That way you won't be bothered by what they say cause you won't know it.

Amen.
Yeah..I've been here since March of 2007..and it has been getting a tad
weird at times..don't know what the heck. People jump in and just attack
right in the middle of a thread..and you don't know what the beef is, or
who it was directed at...and if you address it? Look out!
I've never had to use the ignore button..but if i had to? I would.
