9. When someone gets on my ignore list, I'm pretty sure I know very well...

...who and what they are all about.

I have a low tolerance for chanting dogma.

Occasionally when one of my OPs starts generating a lot of responses that I can't see, I'll take one of them off of it temporarily for amusement, but if I pass my amusement threshold, I'll put them back on.

If in the temporary suspension from the list I see something meriting response or correction I may comment either in the thread or in a different OP, but in topics connected with my personal foci I'm generally covering the point independently of a particular individual.

My impression of the general DUers is that the majority are - how shall I say this gently - mature individuals and if as a result we finally figured out who we are, we know our limits. I have been dinged in the past for not acknowledging my limits, and so I concentrate on recognizing them in this important beloved forum.
