About your post in the whaling thread:
I /ignore people who lack the intelligence to discuss things on a higher level than their primitive emotions dictate. Incidentally, I meant to add you to ignore a while ago, so I'm doing that now.
As for why I state that I am doing so - politeness. If I disrespect you so much that I feel further exposure to you couldn't possible achieve anything, I want nothing more to do with you and feel it's only polite to inform you that it will be impossible to further inflict yourself on me.
