From what I've seen...
Reasons against:
-It would "break" the community due to all of the people ignoring each other. Communication in general would be negatively affected by everyone ignoring people over simple disputes.
-We don't need it. It is not a requirement for us to navigate BNet. We have the ability to ignore people without it.
-It's frivolous.
-People will, very likely, change over time. Due to the permanence of such a feature, people will not know that others have changed their attitude since the occasion of the initial "ignore", and possible GOOD communication is lost.
Reasons for:
-Some people contribute nothing valid to any conversation (in the opinion of the potential "ignorer"), and therefore their posts are not worth viewing.
-Someone is being harassed to a point that it isn't serious enough for the moderation staff to deal with it, but it is consistent enough for it to be a problem for the poster. Ignoring would solve the problem.
-It would make navigating BNet much easier without all of the detritus cluttering up their view and distracting from legitimate and quality posts.
-Nobody's experience except for the experience of the "ignorer" when the ignore button is implemented and "pressed".
-People wouldn't ignore others simply because of a single dispute or the occasional disagreement. They would do it because they legitimately don't value the majority of posts that the "ignoree" makes. Making the reason behind the ignoring legitimate.
If you have anymore that have been mentioned STRICTLY about the feature of ignoring a person FOREVER with the click of a button (whether the posts are GONE or just minimized), please let me know. I'm not going to go into every other idea discussed with reporting, minimizing specific posts, ignoring people for a period of time, etc...
