Well I don't normally give shoutouts, but in this case I felt you might chime in and just really underscore no matter how much two users might not get along, and how important it is for Hubski to thoughtfully deal with a) the real need for users to disengage and block comments, while b) not doing so in a way that overreacts to singular disagreements or temporary temper flares.

It really does need to be site that works for you, me, and everybody else.

But it sounds from your post that if you had the option, you would universally block me (which is totally fine!), but let me ask you: Would it be enough to have all of my comments completely blacked out while still being able to see the replies? Do you view that as an incomplete solution?

Edit: Also,

    If it makes you feel any better,

It doesn't. I would love for there to exist a type of moderation that would short circuit this dynamic.
