There would be the temptation to personally insult the person ignoring you.

What's the difference between insulting someone who is ignoring you vs not?
Both are not allowed anyway.
"Sure, just click "edit" under the title. There should be an edit link for you for
any threat you start."
My bigger question is what 10 people did I personally insult to warrant an ignore
"Question: If you started a thread, is it possible for you to go back and edit the title?"

Patrick: I don't see an edit under the title. What am I missing?

"The_Deplorable Is the post more than a week old? I have a rule in
the code that a thread more than a week old cannot be edited or deleted. Maybe I
should change that."
The goal is to argue about issues we might be able to influence instead of attacking each other personally. From 20 some years of doing this, I know that personal insults are instant death for productive debate.

Patrick: If it can be done easily then please do. This, in my thinking, could prove to
be an advantage for Patrick.net because as time goes on, topics grow and we can
make the topic of a thread more inclusive by editing the title of the thread. In other
words there is no need to start another thread with a similar topic.
"Let me know if you have any trouble editing a thread you created."
Telling new users that we will all "laugh at you" is just about the worst possible welcome imaginable.
Put yourself in the place of a new user.
Would anyone want to post anywhere he has been told he will be instantly laughed at?
Being told you will be mocked is the worst possible introduction to the site.
To greet new users with insults is nothing other than actively trying to kill this site.
Or what Booger or Ceffer or Wookieman posts. Snowflakes are gonna flake, after all.
