It's an online community on a public forum for content aggregation.

Perhaps the problem is that some of you are having difficulty emotionally keeping your distance so instead you feel that you should have the right to form cliques and try as hard as you can to ruin someone elses experience of the site.

I can't stop you from being so petty, but I can have a low opinion of you for your willingness to do so.

hey guess what...the internet doesn't operate in a vacuum!!! behind these usernames are real live people!!! with real live feelings!!! who crave real live interactions!!! and you're disrupting that. you're the kid in the sandbox who throws sand in everyone's eyes and wonders why no one wants to hang out with you.

you think badly of our community.

so leave.

it seems strange that the ones doing the muting don't think about the "real live feelings" of the ones they're muting.
