Ignore Questions

layin low but staying high
I am rarely on the giving or receiving end of ignoring somebody. Therefore, I'm not entirely sure how it works. If somebody has you on ignore, I think you don't see their discussions or posts when you are logged in, but you can see them if not logged in. Is that right? I also assume that the person who has you on ignore when logged in does not see the discussions or the comments that the ignored person makes. Is that right? In other words, I think you're basically invisible to one another when logged in.
The reason I'm asking is that the posts of our resident Santa Clara County weirdo no longer show up when I'm logged in. I assume that he decided to ignore me because he was scared when I tried to meet him in San Francisco which is fine. But two procedural points confuse me. First, he continues to post under his login in discussions that I start. I've seen these when I'm not logged in. How can he post in my discussions if he is ignoring me? Shouldn't he be unable to even see my discussions when he is logged in, and certainly not be able to post to those discussions? Second, in some of his posts which I can only see when I'm not logged in (obviously I'm referring to the shorter posts because nobody can stay awake long enough to read the long ones) he asks me questions. How/why would you ask questions of a person you are ignoring?

I logged out and then I see the comment from SJG. How does he post a comment to one of my discussions if he is ignoring me?
I don't miss our leading Mexican bar table dancing expert, so feel free to skip those jokes if you want to. I'm really just trying to figure out how this system (not "The System") works. It's also irritating to see that there are comments made to your discussions, go to check them, and there's nothing.
"User A" can do whatever they please without any regard to what's on YOUR ignore list. "User A" would see all of your posts unless "User A" put you on his ignore list. Considering that entire discussions are filtered by the ignore feature, it seems like it should be impossible for someone to post on your discussion thread and have you on their ignore list at the same time
You would know better than me so I'll check. I might have accidentally ignored the AMP master.
I found SJG's profile, clicked on the microphone, and it said "San Jose guy has been added to your ignore list." That suggests to me that I wasn't ignoring him before but I am now. Now I don't know how to turn off ignore. Help?
Unless you have me on ignore too, in which case you won't see this post.
That was Alucard
John, it could be that he's circumventing his own Ignoring of you by having two screens open -- one where he's logged in as SJG, the other as either someone else or not at all. Why he'd do that, I have no idea other than he HAS to have his say, even if no one else is listening.
