I have talked with people in person who are members here but refuse to post because they are afraid of being attacked for their opinions. In theory it's easy to say just ignore a person who is offensive etc. In the reality of a forum it's not like the reality of being there in person where you can literally ignore someone who is way out there by walking away and joining another discussion elsewhere.

I don't know for certain but I would speculate that a personal ignore feature would keep civility and create an environment more inviting to the less intrepid members. Therefore actually enhancing the dialogue with more members joining in.
