I unblocked almost everyone when I found this out. Just because I don't want to see @TheAmerican's slide posts doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to reply when I call him a filthy, sliding, unnaturally hirsute kike.

I did the same. I understand all the justifications for the change to the mechanics of the block, but in practice it's way too abusable.

You can say what you want. People also dont have to listen to you if they dont want to.

That is obviously their right, but blocking them from responding is denying the right of everyone else to hear what they say. The block should only affect the view of the blocker.

You should have the ability to block them from your view, but not to block them from everyone else. Just because you don’t want to see a particular comment doesn’t mean that you should have the right to prevent me from seeing it.

So we all just sit round with our fingers in our ears shouting ‘LALALALALALALA!’ instead of discussing, and using reasoned argument and facts?

What about someone so resoundingly retarded that they refuse to do that?

You can make your point, then if the other party is not making sense you can leave the discussion and move on. Others will be able to read the thread later and make up their own minds, and pick up the discussion if they feel they can advance the discussion.

The way blocking was, you'd have to seek out their comments to know they exist. That's not forcing you to acknowledge them. Now they can't make comments at all.
