If we knew everyone in real life who actively avoided us then we might be surprised by the amount of people that don't avoid us online. I don't live my life to please everyone, nor do I post opinions to be agreed with. If that happens then great, if someone changes my mind even better. I don't like to mute anyone. I've muted four people two spam accounts. Even if they want to argue on a post I made I'm usually game to let them do it simply because it improves the site, and there is only one person I have blocked.
