Answered Block user feature?

Is the block user feature working as intended? A user recently blocked me and now it will not let me reply to any of their comments. It is understandable for them to be able to hide any replies/posts on their end, but it appears that it prevents the post from going through at all.

If this is how this is intended to work I see this as a huge violation of free speech. If not, then it's not working as intended.

but not allowing them to discuss your comment with others is overstepping, imo.

You are wrong.

I know red baron users can do it, but I don't understand why there has to be a level attached to it. There seems to be no logical reason why anyone should be limited to discussing with other users under a thread.

Due to abuse from new users

What is it that you don't understand in that sentence?

It's not that I don't understand it, it's that I think it's not a solution for the stated problem.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the following seems like the natural workaround for the rule....

  1. User A creates a new account to troll
  2. User B blocks them
  3. User A creates a new account to chat under User B's posts

What 'new user' problem did you solve?
