@NoDoxGregBrady There are many reasons why people get blocked.

The most common inadvertant way to get blocked is by participating in hellthreads. If someone leaves ten people tagged and adds some inane reply I feel a surge of contempt for them and I tend to instablock.

If I already know and like a poster I will mute the thread and cut them a break, on the assumption that they just weren't paying close attention.

Disrespect is an instant block. There is no productive interaction with someone who fails to show respect. The free range rude can do their thing in someone else's notifications, I don't want to see it.

Then there's the artisinal block. If an idea rises to absolute retard I just might block for that alone. 'It's the Freemasons not the jews' being a recent example.
