With all due respect.

Responding to someone indirectly and continuing to read and engage in their quoted messages is counterintuitive to what you're trying to achieve by blocking someone. You may as well not have said person on your blocklist.

Oh I know, but I found it amusing and only saw it as Boblawblah quoted it. In general I quickly scroll past the blocked messages from Stormpeaks and don't go looking for them. So 90% of the time I have no idea what they are saying, which is good enough for me. If the forums were set up to block quotes as well, that would be ideal.

I also didn't respond indirectly, I chose to direct my response to them directly.

Someone has already proposed a solution to that conundrum - https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...from-your-view

Regardless of that though, you still took a conscious effort to respond to it.

I did, because that's what I wanted to do. It amused me so I got something out of it. Unless someone quotes her response, I won't know what she said below my post and don't care. She's not the type of person I'll continually engage with.

I'm overall fine with the basic block function, it blocks a fair amount of nuisance. I'm not sure how much effort it would take for me to follow that guide as nice as it would be. My eyes glaze over when trying to learn more techy things.

I don't know about other people, but I tend to read the posts without really looking over at who is posting them, so by the time I've realised the quote is from a person I've blocked, I've probably already read the quoted text.

And that's why they removed all your other offending posts. Totally believable story.
