choosing what one doesn't want to hear is the flip side of saying whatever you want
If only that was all it was. No, on Poal, when a user blocks you you're prevented from commenting on their post. It's not that they won't read it -- it's that no one can because you can't even make the post. Is this an absolutely retarded policy for a "free speech" site? Yes, yes it is.
It's intentional degeneracy by AOU.

No, it's not "solved". It won't appear in the proper place and won't receive the visibility it should. It defeats the whole point of threading. Why can't you just admit allowing users to block other users from replying is a terrible idea, especially for a supposed "free speech" site? Even AOU knows this, which is why he "fixed" it by not having it apply to users level 30 and above.
