You don't block the people you disagree with. You block the jerks, the obvious trolls, the negative shit aka noise.

- demachina 13y agoPretty sure Dave blocks most people who disagree with him for the space of more than one tweet. People he already holds in high esteem before they disagreed with him might last slightly longer.
- dinkumthinkum 13y agoI never use such features unless it is really trolling, in which case I expect the flagging system to solve the problem or anti-spam techniques. I don't really like I need protection from people's thoughts, not saying people who want such features do but it's not my thing.
- angersock 13y agoExactly--the flagging feature is there to deal with real trolls. Let's be honest--usually, blocking (in a community which has other ways of dealing with abusive users) is just a way of helping people be intellectually lazy and filtery.
