Why would someone write a private message asking a question  if they have already  put you on their block list?

I honestly don't know. That's why I asked for a little input . Thank you for responding  

want to get in the last word, no matter how they do it. A provider named Allure was notorious for doing just that.

How do I check to see if I've accidentally put anyone on ignore?  Thx.

...if you're not VIP you probably don't have the option to 'ignore user'. If you do have someone on ignore and you log in when you read the boards you'll see the statement 'users post ignored' in place of any post they may have made in a thread. If you don't log in when you read the boards you will be able to see the posts of someone you have on ignore. To see who you have ignored, go to your Mail and up near the top you'll see a tab for 'Ignore List'. Click on that and it'll show who you have on ignore and it gives you the option of removing them from your ignore list.
