“It's our position that everyone may use their freedom of speech for any purpose except to limit others' freedom of speech.”

How does this square with someone commenting then blocking replys?

Is the right of reply not part of free speech?

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.

It dosent stop them from their say, they can still make their own post. You cant force people to listen to you.

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.

I don't understand why you're tripping so hard. Most people being blocked are retard trolls. If you're a genuine person looking for discussion then you're not going to be blocked.

You can still see it just not responding to the person who blocked

Reading something is proactive. If you don't want to read anything by a particular person, don't read anything after you observe their username.

Yea, this is weird. I'm unblocking everyone.
