I'm curious as to how blocking people would work.
For example, if you all chose to block me would it mean that this post would be missing if you lread at this thread? If someone responds to my post would you be able to follow their response and why/how they have responded in that way? How would you be able to understand the context of all subsequent posts, wouldn't it be like reading a book with missing pages?
Also, if we would look through the archive of posts here, does that mean that all posts I have made would not appear if you have me blocked?
I think blocking, whilst sounding good in theory, would have a detremental effect to ourselves when we try and read the threads here. Sure a few idiots have tried taking over the asylum but why not ban the offenders or at least take away their right to post for a period of time and hope they reflect in that time instead.
