Totally. Personally, I'm not that worried about my individual situation. I don't see this person posting anything terribly interesting and I think muting is a good feature, I just wanted to know how people were generally applying it. For example if the response had generally been "I mute pretty much everything I don't agree with" that's something that might have affected my experience on Hubski significantly. The general consensus, though, seems to be that the vast, vast majority of people aren't likely to mute you just because you said something they disagree with. This makes sense and reflects what I've already seen from my use of the site.
