I started it as a way for those contributors who are already ignoring threads from trolls or threads from counter-trolls to confirm, by not contributing to this thread also, that they were ignoring this thread also.

How does one confirm one is ignoring a site by letting one's resident cookie reveal one's visitation, thus disclosing that one isn't ignoring it? I can't solve this conundrum except by logging in as a guest to stay anonymous, though I am a regular member. A rather fluffy exercise.
