I have one or two people muted, but that's really it. I only mute if I don't want a volatile opinion in a thread I post especially posts about race or gender like "feminism isn't a real movement." That stuff doesn't breed interesting or stimulating conversation, so I have no interest in it. You've really gotta be inflammatory for me to mute you though.
