Same for me. I like Overnight but his noise to signal ratio is super high. I just got tired scrolling past lotsa "stuff" not pertaining to thread. I unblock sometimes to see if he cut down on the spam.
Agreed, this is the best reason to use the feature; I'll often toggle it on/off. On a very rare occasion it's helpful if your ego is bruised too but that's just temporary. As far as @Overnight is concerned specifically... he's no more annoying (or insightful ) than the average ET user. I like him because he engages (but almost never just to take cheap shots)!
For me, its not about @Overnight, it's about any poster who spends too much attention replying to everyone else. When I see any poster who is posting numerous times every day in replies to others, then I put them on ignore. I just find it annoying when a poster can't stop themselves making continual comments from what other posters are saying. I think possibly it's an immaturity thing.
What you do not mention or maybe, is not aware of it Overnight is a vendor in the closet. He tries to bait you into revealing your trading methods and he has on multiple occasions tried to sell others his methods. Pay Baron his fees and put yourself out as a vendor and let the ET community buy your products if they deem it worth it.
Mickey also takes out the loss of his wife and kids (A pastor stole them from him apparently) on people in the Religious forum.
