I agree with retina and disagree with greathouse.

As usual.

Seconded!

What are ostriches reputed to do when they sense danger?

I do PM occasionally in the interests of politeness.

Ten years ago (different forum) I did it frequently,
but the upshot/downside was forgetting who had heard what

I mostly agree, but they can say something about both. If one person has a inordinately large number of people on their ignore list, then it says something about that person. If someone is on an inordinately large number of ignore lists, then it definitely says something about the person being ignored.

Certainly it says SOMETHING about the person ignored.
But by whom?

Majorities don't determine truth.
Nor do entrenched minorities.

Right. I guess what I mean is that I think that there are more people ignoring the most-ignored person than there are people ignored by the most-ignoring person.

Or to put it another equivalent way, the most-ignorant person and
the most-ignored person are not the same person.

Ignoring the intelligent is not indicative of wisdom.

Is there a way to see a list of top contributors
in descending order of Thread to Post ratio?
Say with a Post count at least ten?

Could we get again a list of top contributors,
say top 100?

Actually, that's not the same as:

This is equivalent to:
let X be the number of people ignoring the most-ignored person, person A
let Y be the number of people ignored by the most-ignoring (which is not necessarily the same as most-ignorant, at least by the most common use of the word "ignorant") person, person B
(CRG thinks that:) X>Y
(you're saying:) person A != person B (Edit: corrected, I had ==)

Almost. The last should be A != B, not A == B.

What do you mean by "top contributor"? Those who start the most threads? Those who have the most posts? Those who contribute the most useful content?
