User C might even read some of the interaction between Users A and B, but would quickly get lost in the discussion. User C would come to the tentative conclusion that User B is to be believed more than User A.

Sometimes, the simplest option is also the true answer: User A is just ignoring User B since he doesn't want to be dragged down to B's level. What was that saying about arguing with an idiot?

With all due respect, I totally understand why you want to do this, but it still looks like kids fighting in preschool.
"I'm not talking to Tommy because he says bad things

Your signature is visible in every post, so even far, far away from the people you are ignoring, some User C will see your sig and think "Geez, looks like he gets offended quite easily".
We want to reduce the fighting and bad manners on this forum. If we just ignore idiots, then their posts are still here for others to read, even years from now.
