Its even more nefarious than that. If a subversive user wishes to present lies to the masses, they can block anyone who can provide evidence of their lies - this creates an echo chamber of lies. The current block feature is.. a very jewish implementation that is clearly easily abused to allow people to lie and mislead others. If allowing people to lie and mislead others is AOU's intention, setting the barrier at some ridiculous level where "power users" an ignore this.. then he's accomplished is goal. Bravo, AOU. I've watched your decisions degrade this site quite rapidly into just another Reddit echo chamber. So unfortunate that was your goal.
