Right now, if you "ignore" someone, do their comments fall to the bottom of the comment thread automatically?

No. It's been the working plan, however. The only problem, is that it would only really work with top comments in the thread. You wouldn't want a troll reply to send a great comment down to the bottom.

Maybe just the troll reply goes to the bottom and you can click "see in context", if you want to get your "troll on".

TBH I think that could become a formatting nightmare. If possible, I'd like to avoid schemes that break the comment threads.

One other thought: although you might not see the ignored comment, everyone else does, and therefore it can still disrupt the conversation.

How about a collapsed comment? So you can ignore the comment, but if it is important for the conversation, you can expand it and read it. A bit like Reddit with comments under the treshold.

That's not a bad idea, but I am not sure if it really discourages trollish behavior.
