This is the end of discourse on Poal.

I could let it slide on individual subs, but this is too far; ideas gone unmolested is the promotion of cancer... I suppose that I will have to find a new home.

EDIT: I propose the following solution.

Instead of outright blocking individual users, their replies and conversations are INSTEAD automatically collapsed so that their speech is not infringed upon by allowing the choice to see it, and that those blocking them don't have to see it if they choose not to.

See for petition to change it.

This is the end of discourse on Poal.

Uh oh. Don’t let your boss hear you say that. And don’t let yourself know that I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Why are you against blocking trolls and spammers?

Do you know a better way to stop them?

Why are you against blocking trolls and spammers?

I’m against trolls and spammers blocking REAL users, which now includes blocking anyone who can prove them wrong AND preventing them from being downvoted so their lies aren’t seen. That’s literally how this site works now. Anyone who downvotes a proven paid shill is punished. And they can stop you from proving them wrong.

Do you know a better way to stop them?

Banning them from posting on the website entirely.

I don't always agree with Tallest, but I would never stop him from replying.

Do you have somebody who blocked you? I am really interested.
