I wouldn?t call out other names, point out specific cases, or accuse them of abusing that feature, but I can say this much. Out of everyone that added me to their ignore list, I haven?t wronged a single member. I haven?t been mean to them. In fact, I had very little interaction with them. Now I can?t really police them on how to use the feature, but this is clearly my biggest pet peeve I have on this site, and I hope people can stop blocking me for these cases.

Yeah the only persons I have blocked here were basically flaming or harassing me so that had to be done. I probably disagree with half of the people here but yeah I don't block them for that.

I personally think that the ignore list should not be used to block people just because you don?t agree with them. It should only be used if someone is being mean to you constantly.

I don?t have anyone on my blocked list, lmao.

I agree though. :)

I’ve been guilty of it too. The time I was at the peak of doing this was during the Ferguson incident. In response to Darren Wilson’s retirement from the police department in Ferguson, I added 7 people that believed Wilson was guilty to my ignore list. To be fair, some of these members has been harassing me for sources when I kept bringing up that Michael Brown grabbed for Darren Wilson’s gun (which is actually true, yet they refused to believe it). Anyway, these people are no longer on my ignore list, and I won’t be adding them to my ignore list anytime soon. But I have not blocked people for being pro-choice, anti-capitalism, or anti-gun.

I don't like taking mind-altering chemicals anymore! I've gotta learn to live w/o them!!
 
Looking back at Total Drama Island and thinking of all the bad things the campers did, usually the worst things they do are their most antagonistic roles. But if you’re watching the show as an adult, most of these antagonisms are pretty childish, so it’s hard to rank their actions among the worst. However, there were a few antagonisms that are very serious that would land there.

Within the first season, up to the reunion special, the 10 worst things anybody did on the show:

1. Letting people fall to death for money (or even threatening them).
2. Hitting someone with a lamppost (the way Courtney did it was savage, and it was done out of revenge).
3. Breaking open a ballot box to switch real votes with fake ones. This is not just voter fraud at its finest, but it was one of the very few actions one of the campers did that affected how the staff manage the contest in following seasons.
4. Changing the water system to put sewage in the showers (Heather deserved it for what she did, but doing this in real life would get you in a lot of trouble).
5. Forcing a relationship to break up. This may not seem as bad since they are just teenagers, but imagine if someone tried doing it as an adult, like how Heather did it. It even altered Trent’s personality and made things worse for Gwen next season.
6. Abusing people of your alliance (watch Paintball Deer Hunter and That’s Off the Chain to see what I mean).
7. Bribing people to vote someone out (especially out of revenge or to get away from trouble).
8. Public Humiliation (one of them being reading someone’s diary out loud as a talent).
9. Disguising like a dangerous animal and scaring others (even if it’s a joke).
10. Forcing people to participate in a challenge, no matter how hard it is, yet be lazy and not participate.

There are a handful of other things that would go there, but they are too childish, justified, carelessly done, or are not done by the campers. But those ten things I listed are quite serious, no matter who you’re defending or opposing. These are ranked based on how much impact it did to the original cast, how bad the situation was, and how evil the action is in reality. If you seen the show and disagree with me on any of this, let me know.
 
So I learned why people are taking coronavirus more seriously than they did to even worse diseases. It’s because the news is being overdramatic. This is another major offense showing how evil the media is. They messed up over Ferguson, over Covington, and now this. I predict that most of the Americans will be just as fine by the end of the first 100 days.

I've heard that part of why the media is blowing corona up is because of the election? I'm not really politically active at all but apparently the media like to make a big hoopla about stuff like this and I guess that effects elections or something...

Idk tho just the word on the street, I'd take this whole corona thing with a grain of salt. Unless youre like 70+...

As someone who’s close to my grandmother, I should take this just as seriously.

I did read about how the liberals are politicizing the disease. I think they’re doing this because they do not want Obama’s legacy reversed, they hate Trump, and they want to shove their radical policies down everyones’ throats. I’m sorry, but if you’re going to support reparations for slavery, taxing people to bring deported criminals back in the country, or ban deportations, then don’t politicize and exaggerate a disease pandemic. I can’t believe they’ve gotten this radical. Hopefully, this will backfire and expel left-wing politics from our nation for decades.

Sorry that I did that. Now those three issues I posted there, I’m not making that up. They literally support those. Even one of these issues is up for debate on the 2020 presidential election.

Oh yeah definitely. It's really frustrating that the media is making this out to be so much more deadly than it is. I mean yeah, it has been shown to cause death, but so have many other viruses including influenza. Numbers dictate that COVID-19 is an issue, but it's not like a plague that's killing millions of people a month.

I also hate that people have started hoarding stuff like toilet paper because of this. My family has to resort to using paper towels. We shouldn't have to deal with this. People really are taking this too seriously.

That's not to say that people should just ignore it, yeah it's good to wash your hands and use Lysol/antibac wipes when you can, but it really isn't that big of an issue. Like you said this will probably blow over within the next hundred days.
