If someone can present their case in an adult manner, free of insults, name calling, etc, and they are not debating solely to 'win', I love engaging them.
But anyone I have on Ignore proved to me their complete inability to engage in adult debate, concede points, read opposing source citations, etc.
At that point I know I'm dealing with an intellectual brick wall, and thus I am fine with them.
And as you have seen, I've never once put someone on Ignore without giving them several opportunities to state their case in an adult manner. When they show they lack that ability, they are done in my book.
Now I do give second chances.
If I see someone I've put on my ignore list engaging in adult debate with others, conceding points, and no longer using repeated logical fallacies, I'll gladly remove them and once again engage them in debate.
I've just found that having e-pissing contests is a complete waste of everyone's time.
