Surely, there must be something you can take away from a poster you don't like.
I'd say the only real issue I have with the site right now is the white knighting and dogpiling that goes on sometimes. That's something inherent of the internet though.

Personally, my ignore list has grown almost exponentially since COVID started. I'm a little better now that things have normalized a little, but that first year or so of COVID I lacked the capacity and bandwidth to deal with what I perceived to be bullspit, so it was better for myself and for the folks spouting it if I just couldn't see it at all.
