As far a looking for trouble. There is one or two on AG if you locked them in a room alone they would pick a fight with themselves. :-)

**** Why not just skip over and not read the comment if posted by someone you do not want to read from ? ****

Of course!  Exactly right.  As I said, consciously or not, some like the fight. 

I think tommylion is ignoring us.

Why not just skip over and not read the comment if posted by someone you do not want to read from ?

Low tech and very simple....

If you do not like the direction that a thread is taking just move on. Your particular opinion or experience with the subject under discussion, in the big scheme of things, is meaningless. I doubt that someone is going to buy or not buy an item based upon your individual recommendation or negative review. So if you cannot handle the debate it is best for you to take yourself out of the discussion. There are so many threads started everyday I am sure you can add meaningful dialog to any other number of forum queries. (Most of which have been covered many times already and just keep getting re-hashed in a slightly different form). 

Sounds like cancel culture to me. 

Some, whether they want to admit it or not, like the fight. 

So we're supposed to have " safe spaces" on audiophile forums? Ridiculous 

@maxwave  

👍

I'm ignoring this.....except for a moment to let people know.

I actually thought the idea of giving individual members the ability to hide posts they don't want to see would be relatively non-controversial🙄

What??? Ignore the self styled "experts" here?? Surely you jest.

Could not agree more Re mahgister. A real gentleman with a perspective on music (art) and the place that it can occupy in our personal "spheres" that is refreshing and not found often enough in discussions here. Re the OP:

Not having read through all the posts, and not meaning offense to anyone and their opinions, my first reaction was that this is one of the silliest things that I have read proposed here; and one that, ironically, contains the answer to the "problem" in the wording of the very OP:

IGNORE!!! Ignore the provocative (to you) posts and don’t take the bait. Moreover, what is provocative to one may not be provocative to others.  So, what does one "do" with posts that are reactions to those by the poster that we blocked, but where not blocked by others? Sometimes controversy leads to truth.

@steakster 

Did @maxwave  actually write that?

I've been on forums for 26 years. I have never put anyone on Ignore. Nor would I.

Thumb down means " Swords down", or spare the life.

Thumb up means "Swords up", or hack away, boys!

@mahgister , Friend mahgister.....Thank You for that gritty bit of wisdom....

All this time I’ve been ’👍’ to a motorist that let me ’in’, or ’cut through’ when I was in reality (such as It is...) asking them to ’off me....quickly, please...’

But...if I sign the opposite version.....I run the risk of mis-interpretation, and get ’T-boned’ anyway....

That’s not fair.....if it was anyway, to begin with...another debate to masterb...*!*...you get my drift....😖

Well, some would be thrilled by that, no doubt......

(...don’t hurt your mice, y’all...)

Ignore the trolls,

keep on trucking!

I thought this was the truth:

This image only complement the other, but here instead of enlarging our pespective, it is asked for us blinds people to communicate with all the other blinds one like us to figure it out...Because truth is so vast and deep, enlarging our perspective is not enough, we must appeal to others testimonies and experiences...

Thanks nonoise for this beautiful image...

My best to you....

What the OP proposes exists already ... just ignore the post you don't want to see. There's been enough systemic cancel culture ... A'Gon doesn't need a cancel button.

Love that diagram @mahgister 

I thought this was the truth:

All the best,

Nonoise

i think you are right....Me best to you and deepest respects....

There are sad times ahead if nothing changes.

Thanks maxwave...For this image...

 Here truth is portrayed as a an experience which is achieved after starting from a limited perspective and going to a larger one...

This journey starting from a limited perspective to a larger one is the "motor" of most of the young students i deal with... Nostalgia after my retirement for sure....

@mahgister    

"Truth is a craving of the soul..."    

It is for the best of us, but unfortunately there are so many that crave nothing but money, power and notoriety.

Whether the name is Trump, Zuckerberg or Bezos, their dreams don't include people's happiness or the survival of the planet.    

There are sad times ahead if nothing changes.

@mahgister

I do not want to hyjack this thread , but truth is a highly philosophical thematic

Even Jesus had not answered Pointus Pilates , when asked what is ´´ Truth ´´

( by the way , I have no belief , what so ever , about God , etc )

People in their 20s 30 years ago were full of dreams.

People in their 20s today are full of fears about what’s next with the climate.

Truth is a craving of the soul...Not mainly something we can wrote about in a legal trial....

No answer can feed our thirst for truth save the "water" flowing through all living creatures......

And young people dreams are seeds waiting for waters ....

Nowadays the world prepared for us by "criminals" deprive the youngs of their dreams...The dreams are SOLD to them at a cheap price...

And anyway this thread about an "ignore button" is only a new nail in the coffin of "truth" at worst, at best it suggest a tool to eliminate for some what is perceived like moskitoes bites......

There is no truth manifestation in the world WITHOUT enthusiam and awe for all that exist, especially our fellow men ...

@mahgister

Dam , you are old :-)

In my job i was not interested often with people over 35 years old...

I recognized myself only with 20 years old people and under 30...

Because they are in a search for truth...Grown up are less so...

Old people were not very interesting to me at the times....

But to be frank i only can be happy with "young"  minds  of any biological age looking for truth....

I am moved by  very ,very old people, who think about truth also...

In between it lack something for me ...I will call it passion ....

😁😊

@maxwave     

We never had children, mother died 10 years ago, father died when I was 26 and I will turn 67 next month.    

Life can be cruel, but it is also as beautiful and warm as we want it to be.   

@mahgister

I have always wonder if it was you or a picture., that we see

Out of curiosity , how old are you.

70 years old...

The photo is the photo of a great russian artist Alexander Vertinsky playing a "Pierrot" an italian character in street theater...I like a lot the russian artist and his take with the "Pierrot" figure...Pierrot is the deceived lover of Colombine....His character is a perfect  mix of sadness and humor....The russian take on his character is the peak of this theater persona...

@maxwave No I was statting a fact.

I just show you what it is when someone do the same to you.

Any child in a hospital is ours...

Any parent diying is ours...

Music cannot erase this fact...

Then we must be brothers not foes in a ridiculous small war in an audio thread...
