I think the view each of us have of the board is tailored by the posts we tend to make. The first thing I look at when I log on is my alerts to see what kind of discussion my posts have created. Obviously, those people that respond to my posts are going to have similar concerns and approaches to analyzing things, even if they might not have the same opinion as mine. So those posters become "the board" to me. I do look at what else is on the first page of a board and I click on the posts that seem to me interesting or are from posters whose work I have some regard for. I don't need an 'ignore' button.  Thus it's a mystery to me why someone would be so upset about the content of the board that they refuse to post anymore.

Syracuse.com in the old days was a different story. it was totally ungoverned and taken over by juveniles who posted racist statements and other types of garbage and who forced the most thoughtful posters, including eventually me, to seek another forum. This board has never been remotely like that.

Of course, if you are an administrator, you are like a movie a critic who has to watch everything good and bad. They can be forgiven for a sour disposition if it results. I think Dick was an administrator and maybe he just didn't have a thick enough hide for it.
