I've experienced the receiving end of this a couple of times on HN. I once posted a blog post and it was extremely obvious that the detractors (who, despite toxic being a bit of an overblown word now, were being toxic and breaking HN rules and got away with it) hadn't even read perhaps a third or less before getting angry in the comments. I don't care if people don't like the suggestion but I believe blocking should be implemented.
