It's a bit of a strawman to imply that's the issue people are having with the mute feature.

It isn't. I think all of us would agree that if you don't want people to be a part of your experience, then you can do so.

but actively disallowing them from responding to a comment of yours is not simply muting. Hubski could simply hide it from you and let everyone else see it so the conversation can continue and you don't have to have them in your face.

That is the point of contention, not whether or not someone should be allowed to mute, but whether or not mute should prevent someone from having their opinion heard by anyone.
