your ignoring of his meanness doesn't diminish it

[alpacinou]

Hello.

Which one is better?

1. Your ignoring of his meanness doesn't diminish it.

2. Your ignorance of his meanness doesn't remove it.

Are there better ways to express that?

When you give us two sentences to consider, please make sure there is just one difference between the two sentences.

You changed "ignoring" to "ignorance", and changed "diminish" to "remove".

Your ignoring of X means that you take no notice of it.

Your ignorance of X means that you don't know about it.

Aha.

Are both my sentences correct and natural?

What can I use instead of "remove"?

My sentences were different and I didn't want to create two different threads for each one.

I didn't say your sentences weren't different. The problem was that they were different in more than one way. You have effectively asked us two questions:

1. What's the difference between "ignoring" and "ignorance"?
2. What's the difference between "diminish" and "remove"?

Delete "of" in 1. Replace "remove" with "justify" or "explain" in 2.

What about this?

You ignorance of his meanness doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I need something like that.

Your ignorance of his meanness doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

That's fine (with the missing letter added).
