I thought (and think now) that it was quite clear in
context that "ignore" was to be taken relative to what
was being discussed -- responding in this list.

Did you seriously think I meant you weren't supposed 
even read it?  That you must not print it out and burn 
it in effigy?  That you can't mention it to a friend as 
an example of something that pissed you off that day?  
That you can't write a blog entry about it?  That you 
can't report it to law enforcement if you thought it was 
threatening?  I see responding privately to the poster
in exactly the same vein.

Ignore it *on the list*.

I hope that makes it clear enough?
