Why would one want to automatically ignore people, because someone else says they're trolls?

Ok, you say you don't have a lot of time to sort through junk. I get that. Don't blame you for that.

But to IGNORE, think that that symbolically is. You're IGNORING another point of view. Probably one you might not agree with, or support but the fact that you are cutting yourself off from even CONSIDERING it...

I don't know- seems kinda like putting on blinders to me.

Like when some people IGNORE all the BAD things in this world, because it tarnishes their beautiful minds to think about such things... that's not balance, that's BS. And that's not being fully human.

As someone said in this thread, 'trolls' can sometimes be great sources of information.
