Forum Block/Ignore feature addition

[Venoshock]

The irony here is too much. People proclaiming themselves too mature, too awesome, advocates of free speech and dissenting opinions far above other mere mortals, and then turning around to insult, belittle, and degrade others who don't think like they do.

I couldn't care less whether they put in the ignore function for the forums. But with huge hypocrites like some of you, I can definitely see why many would want it.

I wasn't being insulting, I'm just being blunt. Sure having one is nice and could make things more streamlined for when we want to look for things, but this isn't why most people here want it. They want it because they don't like other opinions and want it to be censored and silenced, and they want SE to give them a block and ignore feature.

I'm here saying, No. that won't do the forums any good. We should have learnt to just ignore the things we do not like by now. Most people learn this from a young age. We don't need an adult figure to do this for us. All that will lead to is echo chambers and dissenting/unpopular opions which can sometimes bring an interesting debate to be silenced. Look at Reddit, where unpopular opinions get buried no matter if it's a troll or a person who just thinks differently. Do you seriously want this here?

If someone's comment breaks forum rules, then report it and it will be removed. If it just hurts your feelings but isn't breaking any rules, then tough it gets to stay there. Move onto the next post/topic.
