Muting someone seems like a lazy way of disregarding someone's comments just because you disagree with them. I always get more out of reading opposing viewpoints and controversial opinions, and of course reading responses to them. If Hubski power users prove to be thin skinned or hard headed in their use of mute, I think it is to everyone's detriment. Likewise, the judicious use of mute can keep discussions high quality and on topic. I think whatever system Hubski uses, should embrace transparency so that readers can see how a particular user is utilizing the mute feature.
