I suppose my point about polarization wasn’t made clearly. I apologize.
@tommylion I think I get your point better, now. Some people are really aggressive and even trolling in their posts, and that’s what an "ignore" button would help with. Have I got that right?
The thing I worry about -- for myself, and for healthy agon, in general -- is that we’re at a point where disagreements or strong opinions are too quickly *taken* for trolling, when it’s not really meant that way.
I learn a lot from folks here who come across as, let’s say, larger-than-life characters. If, on a bad exchange, I chose to "ignore" them in perpetuity, I’d be losing the chance to learn from them in the future and also find ways of making my arguments in ways I don’t normal have to invent.
@millercarbon Not following your comment, unless it's a shorthand way of dismissing the phenomenon of polarization.
