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."
