I find that assholes often provide some of the most useful commentary. A user on here who shall remain nameless is an idiot of the highest caliber in just about every topic _apart from the one she's an expert in_. If I block her then I lose all that useful commentary on that one specific topic which happens to be something I care about. Finding out that people you despise aren't wrong about everything is one step in growing up that I'm seeing fewer and fewer people make. That your outsourcing your mental stability to a computer should be a red flag. How do you deal with people who you dislike when they get into a position you can't ignore? Currently the choice seems to be scream at the sky/invade the capitol.

>If I block her then I lose all that useful commentary on that one specific topic which happens to be something I care about. Yes, I have a few entries of that type. I have them as `color: #dddddd !important` so that they show up colored as flagged comments instead of being completely hidden. >That your outsourcing your mental stability to a computer should be a red flag. Absolutely. Blocking a person from your life is not a trivial decision. It dehumanizes them. You should make it only after exhausting all other options and understanding what it would feel like if it happened to you. >How do you deal with people who you dislike when they get into a position you can't ignore? That I have to deal with people I dislike in N situations doesn't mean I should accept that I have to deal with them in N + 1 situations.
