The best way is not to offend or annoy people. Usually, the people who get on other people's ignore lists are the ones who tend to start flame wars or insult everyone they can. As long as you are here to participate in civil discussions, no-one is going to put you on their ignore list. (Do note that the ignore list is unique to each individual, so even if you are on one person's ignore list, it's not going to stop you from responding to all other AOers).

As far as I remember the only person on my ignore list later got banned anyway for being a pain to everyone around.
This, sooner or later, will obviously lead onto 'ignore wars'....*sigh*. Hopefully later, though.
