It's high on our to-do list, we agree it'd be a great feature to have someday.

I agree with the poster below that filters are also a good option. It'd be nice to have both. The only weird side effect of these things on discussion forums is, you'll end up with things like this:
Poster A: Point Laid Out
Poster B: (blocked by A): Completely refutes point A
Poster A: Continues on as if he had a leg to stand on
This should be very entertaining in practice, and will sometimes lead to the appearance of insanity within the user base.

Its already happening by people not reading/understanding the post above. Worse is:
Poster A: Makes a very informative post explaining why Spaghetti is a myth that doesn't exist and never did
Poster B: Completely refutes the existence of spherical earth
Poster A: "???"
Poster B: "Yeah you're an idiot."

I like it the way it is now tbh. It forces you to confront viewpoints you don't agree with before shutting them out completely. I can understand why everyone isn't down for it though.
use the following search parameters to narrow your results:
e.g. sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
advanced search: by author, sub...
