About the same spot you were in, but I'm not quite as delicate -- either I'm going to stomp the person or I ignore the person. There is little in-between for me.
BUT, quite often, I only ignore for a while, until God takes me out of the time out. The ones with permanent lives in St. Ignora are those who lie or gossip so often, I just can't watch. (And, yes, sometimes I peek to see what they're saying now. Usually that reminds me why they're ignored. Sometimes it means it's time to unignore. One is teetering in my mind right now.)
