I hereby christen this extension, "Weenie Ware."
Why?
Only a true weenie would feel the need to block someone on a global scale.
More reasonable users simply ignore what they don't wish to read.
- petsos 13y agoSo the more reasonable thing is to block mentally instead of letting the computer do it?
- serf 13y agoYep, until a strong enough AI exists to discern the useful information out of the flaming. The problem with people who you'd want to block is that a good amount of the time they say something that gets you to think things through in a different light. It sucks to get flamed, but boy is it a good tool to force a reassessment of what you've said. Sometimes you realize you were dead right, and sometimes you realize the guy you want to block has a good point.
