It is one effective way to filter out worthless posts. I am sure I am also, on others blocked list which is fine by me. I only interact with people I choose to interact with. Time is precious, why waste it?
It is one effective way to filter out worthless posts. I am sure I am also, on others blocked list which is fine by me. I only interact with people I choose to interact with. Time is precious, why waste it? Here's a perfect example. smallfil wasted his time on replying to a thread in which he has the OP ignored. The post obviously was not worthless if he bothered to reply to it. Moron.
My list is empty, too. It seems to me that many people on EliteTrader are very sensitive with fragile egos. As soon as someone questions them or even tries to have a basic discussion they're put on ignore. Snowflakes?
If you know the poster puts out garbage information, what do you think ET trolls post on a daily basis? Their past behavior shows they will not post anything of value. You are free to listen to whoever you wish. I prefer to listen only to select posters who actually, post useful information. That is my choice. I do not have to deal with BS disinformation which is plenty on CNBC, Bloomberg and other media. Now, I have to deal with garbage on the ET message boards too?

That is your choice. I choose to limit my sources of bad information and BS. There is enough of that everywhere.
WTF do I care... do whatever you want. Hell, try reading comprehension with your eyes completely shut if you really think that will help. My point is a naive computer filter which just drops all messages from a user isn't as powerful as an intelligent human being paying thoughtful consideration to content regardless of author. Can the computer filter be helpful on occasion... of course. And, due to a whole host of reasons, such a filter is more useful for some than others. Use it as you see fit.
