Hachiro said:If a poster feels that strongly about having one person or another not reading their posts then they should consider the way they are posting their material that provokes such a response.
Hachiro said:One of the purposes of an open forum such as this is to allow people, within reason, to state their feelings, opinions, thoughts and beliefs about various topics. You defeat the purpose of a board such as this and end up creating cliques of people that view like issues in the same way. You become or create a "cult" of like-minded people and end up being narrow minded and NOT open to others opinions, like them or not.
I share their views.RockLee said:Just not posting cr@p seems better to me. That "hide" just won't work.
If you don't want a specific user to read something you wrote about him, just don't write it in the first place.
sabro said:I would echo what Hachiro said with very little to add.
How would the "hide" function differ in practice if you just put the person who offends you on "ignore"?
I agree. It's a bit like having your cake and eating it too.Hachiro said:It is a form of banning, person by person.
I agree - let's put it to bed!Tsuyoiko said:The atmosphere around here has been kinda nice for a few days now. Let's just hope it continues

sabro said:The whole "hide" thing seems a bit odd. Why would I post something and not want others even a specific person to read it? If I can't see their response anyway, why should I care whether they can read my post or not? What does this accomplish?
Sensuikan San said:Now .... everybody, go back to my post (#63), wherein I appeared to "agree" with the proposer of the "hide" function.
Read it carefully and read the wording well ....
Now ... read it again ....
Hachiro said:If you put someone on ignore you can not see their posts, but they can see yours. With the hide function, the person that you have chosen to be "hidden" from you would not be able to see your posts as well.

They detract from actual debate, witticism nor poking fun mean you have even made an actual point.strongvoicesforward said:Witticisms and some poking fun of positions have often crept in debates throughout the ages and neither of them have lead to the charge of being totally inappropriate for debate.
Yourself included.strongvoicesforward said:LOL!
Your humorous attempt at sarcasm seemed to have been lost on many, John.
