Flaming(Internet) said:
There is no general agreement on the causes of flaming, although a recent study has led to somewhat conclusive evidence. Some common hypotheses are:

  • Some forms of flaming can be attributed to deeper social or psychological weaknesses, probably from lack of exposure to a broader spectrum of disciplines that result in self-control issues.
  • It is noted that Internet users are more likely to flame online than insult others in the real world, as the latter can lead to embarrassment and physical altercations, which online "anonymity" can avoid. Others urge against flaming, because people on the other side have feelings too.
  • Those guilty of flaming may justify it as getting even for having had their feelings hurt initially, so they see it as doing justice by inflicting serious emotional distress on another.
  • Some flaming may be done with no stronger motive than to get a reaction from the target of the flame, or for the feeling of power or moral freedom of causing emotional distress to another.

This is why. Vicious circles tend to perpetuate themselves unless outside influence towards the contrary (in this case, this Ignore System) puts a stop to it.

Would Mike, if they had not reciprocated and also ignored Pat, be able to make reputation for/against, send visitor messages to, or Privately message Pat? It seems that with that system, that capability should be lost to Peter likewise, even though Mike can still see Pat's posts and user profile.

How'd Peter come out of the woodwork..??

Sounds like a great system, just wonder if it'd get used.
 
Seems like this is kind of unanimous. When I can get it working correctly on the other board I'll move it over here.
