Default Suggestion: reading posts by ignored users

I like using my ignore list, as it helps prevent useless stress.

However, sometimes I get a little curious about what they're writing in some threads.

It would be nice if there was an option to unignore someone just long enough to view a particular post that they wrote, without going into your ignore list, unignoring them, then refreshing that post, then re-ignoring them.

Something along the lines of "view this post" would be great to have... if you put that link directly into the space where their text would normally be, it wouldn't even screw up your formatting.

Also, once you did that, if there was an option right there to unignore the user (if you decided to change your mind) that would be nice too, again, just a time saver.

Probably not as much as they take laughing at you.

For instance if you think I'm stupid and laugh at me 1 I will always be laughing at your stupidity 1+n.

If I'm remembering correctly, this has been discussed ad nauseam in ATF and the mods' forum.

I would hope that there will be such options in the new software.

are you that fragile that you have to use this feature?

i just don't get it. i can't see ever putting someone on ignore. however i know that dozens have me on ignore so i guess i'm an idiot.

Yeah, but I'll know you're laughing at me laughing at you, so ... I'll be laughing at you laughing at me laughing at you. I'll be laughing at you 1 + ~. Top that, donk.

Thanks for quoting his post so that I can read it; the irony is pretty amusing to me.
