Poof!

I was wondering about what happens when you press the ignore button. I mean, it was pretty neat. I just hit the button and this annoying person disappears without a trace: Poof!
Have I disappeared to the annoying person as well?
Have to think a lot of people have given me the old Poof button. Ha!

And the person had bad manners. I just got tired of having to come up with witty replies.
I decided to just go: Poof!

Oh yes, If you engage the trolls and embarrass them, you will have 50 of his/her friends piling on you.

It's best to just put the trolls on Ignore.

Early on I started a thread that had about 58 responses. I could only actually see 12. I wasn't curious. Still am not.
I'm not sure what you could do to get off my Poof list: Buy me a gift certificate for a martini at Hudson Malone in Westport, I guess.

I poof and unpoof regularly.

Crappy mood on my part or theirs or both. One day I poofed a dozen people. Two days later, unpoofed.
Helps keep my B.P. in check on rough days.
