Blocking people isn't just about sticking your head in the sand and not having to hear a political opinion you don't like, there's some real nutters online who will harass the everloving shit out of people given half a chance.

Yes that's true. Some people are shills. And sadly, far too often I've seen people called shills where clearly there's no evidence of shillery but only a different opinion. It's made even worse when both are a little nuts and neither is grown up enough to walk away and ignore the other after having made their point.

I still hate it. I might reconsider if there was a sign "This person blocked you and can't hear what you're saying." Or when one or both users block each other, their user name appears green, opposite to the red "friends".
