Pardon me, but is blocking people on HN a big issue?
- Finbarr 13y agoI wouldn't say it's a big issue, per se. Rather, I'm tired of seeing comments denigrating other comments. If you don't like what people have to say, better to ignore them silently than respond antagonistically.
- Goranek 13y agopeople would block without having a really good reason.. an example, i would block you just because you're using "per se" :)
- petsos 13y agoAnd what's wrong with that?
- Macsenour 13y agoI find it pretty easy to ignore people here and I don't tend to remember who makes comments on my comments. But I can certainly see how blocking someone would help cut down the flame wars.
- DanBC 13y agoI'd like an extension like this. It'd be amazing if it had a time limit. "Block Bob for 2 hours" or 2 days. That would give me time to calm down and respond to Bob in a sensible way, or to ignore Bob. Other people have discipline.
