I understand that the block feature is controversial, and that my use of it is controversial (blocking people who break the rules or have blocked me), but I think if people really thought about it, they would be able to find some circumstances where blocking is appropriate. For instance, what if you recieved a PM like this?

Subject: You Seem To Have A Real Attitude Problem!!!

I Just finished reading the flame fest that you started on a thread posted by REDACTED. I have to say, your comments in that thread were some of the most ridiculous and uncalled for that I have ever read here.

I sure as hell wish the mods had exercised better judgment and tombstoned your sorry ass. Folks like you contribute little and your fucking pointless flaming just gets worthwhile threads locked and taken out of circulation. But, having read your posts I now fully assume you are a worthless little freeper troll in the category of folks like Cuban-Liberal. That leads me to assume that getting threads locked IS YOUR AGENDA.

Just be aware, I know who the hell you are now. The site rules are quite sclear on disruptors. I will be watching you like a freaking hawk. I will be alerting on any post that sounds remotely snarky. Keep this type of crap up and we'll see how long it is until you get the big fat banning you deserve.

I have a short list of likely disruptors. You just got added. I'll see you around you little troll bastard.


Can you see where there are people you wouldn't want in your threads?
