If I ignore stuff from certain people, I think I'm justified.
If you look at the bottom of any reply to you, like this one, you'll see a link that says, "Dr. Sing has not yet responded." If you click on the link it instantly becomes, "Dr. Sing acknowledges this reply." You can indicate you've seen a message and ignore it all at the same time.
Clicking repeatedly on this link toggles it back and forth between "Dr. Sing has not yet responded" and "Dr. Sing acknowledges this reply." Once you reply it becomes marked as "Dr. Sing has responded."
If you click on your name you'll be brought to a list of all the threads you've participated in. The New Replies column contains a "Yes" if the thread contains replies to which you haven't responded. The up arrow is a link to the first unresponded-to message, the down arrow to the last. If you click on the "Yes" it becomes "Noted," and all your unresponded-to messages get the "Dr Sing acknowledges this reply" link. If you click on the "Noted" it becomes "Yes" and all your unresponded-to messages get the "Dr. Sing has not yet responded" link.
I understand, Admin. If it caused them exasperation, they are justified in mocking me.
Exasperation isn't a justification for mockery, just an explanation.
I'm not playing an administrative role in this thread. I'm just a participant here, else I might have cautioned Dr Adequate to tone it down a notch.
Avoiding friction isn't a reasonable goal here. The creation/evolution debate is one where passions run high. We attempt to keep discussion focused and on-topic through active moderation.
