Use the ”+ button that’s to the right of the regular quote button. Click it for every quote you want to include except for the very last quote. For the last quote, click on the regular quote button.

So someone called you dear and that was why you put him (assuming here) on ignore?

I don't ignore anybody. There are some on other forums that it'll be a tempting thought but I don't do it.

None. That's simply a cop-out from reading an alternate viewpoint, even if it strays into the personal arena.

Interesting though, was the number of people stating they don't use the "ignore" feature but then go on to state the reason why people are on their ignore list is ....blah, blah...and ...blah. "I don't, but when I do, it's because........."

That gave me an insight as to the thought processes of some.

Your statement is absolutely true if the person is truly offering an alternative viewpoint but what if some of those people are professional shills/trolls ?

I never block or ignore anyone for any reason. Always interested in the views of everyone, even when it is someone I completely disagree with. A veteran of discussion forums on the Internet since the days of "bulletin boards" and the Lynx text browser (anyone remember those?), so not going to start ignoring people any time soon.
