Well, welcome to the mute or filter or whatever it's called these days.
I don't think it's necessary to tell people when you've blocked them. All it does is get one little jab in, and it's to tell them you're not going to listen to their response. This normalizes the "shots fired" that signal beginning of flame wars, and it's a slippery slope from that to the degeneration of thoughtful discourse site-wide. But for the record, I already had him filtered, too. :P
mk can there be a way to see hidden text on mobile?
mk forwardslash we could bind an ontap event to blacked out text that would make it normal colored again...
Oh, oops, I sort of misread your previous comment. In the past mutes have been followed by tedious messages asking for specification. It provides a guideline for those users willing to modify their behavior -- don't act like you did on that comment where you got muted. Of course, hubski being not what it once was, his terrible comment was also shared 8+ times. Well-kept gardens...
