I don't see the issue. Some people(s) is/are toxic. So you create distance from them. What's wrong with that?

Nothing at all, particularly if you're the toxic one and don't want to deal with the controversy you create. Utopia is a wonderful place where everyone agrees and everyone lives in perfect harmony. You wanna come on as the tough talking sports reporter you should be willing to deal with the pushback you're going to get (and looking for). I couldn't care less if I'm on this guy's foe list (which is BS because most people are going to check in and see what their foe had to say anyway and see what they said when someone quotes their post). So when you hear from plenty of long time posters that your style isn't much appreciated you just put those people on your foe list and ignore it all. It's not wrong but I've never put anyone on my foe list, I'd much rather tell them what an a-hole I think they are than ignore them.

This poll (which I have already voted on and submitted multiple times now to try to get rid of) continues to show up regardless of what page in the topic I visit. Is that intended or a bug?

Do we have to receive notifications if we were to block a person? Is there a way to disable that or is this built like Facebook?

If you block someone on this forum all their posts will show up as a blurb that that person is on your ignore list. You have the option of viewing any post you choose to.
I use to be a people person until people ruined that for me.

It’s the notifications of a reply up top of screen (user interface) I’m wondering about but appreciate your reply.

You make a good point. There is only one person on this forum i have blocked. i never received any notice other than any post on any thread is blocked unless i choose to read it.

Stupidly respond to him but it’s partly because I see the notifications up too which if I’m blocking said person I don’t need to be notified they responded (unless it’s to generate higher volume of activity-Matnum?)

It is a matter of becoming diligent in ignoring people. I don't know how or why somebody would want to chase you down. Somebody like that would scare me. It only worries me if they start sending me PMs. Stupid question, have you made it clear to these people they are on your ignore list?

No I just respond to the notifications because I see it on my phone which is how I post here 85-90% of time. Gets tiring.

Thank you, I know we have had some huge disagreements and i have busted your balls way too much. I read enough of your posts to know that you know your chit about what you speak. That does not happen by accident, it happens because you know your craft and work hard at it.

I don’t like blocking but when I have people following me around threads and insist on communicating in forked tongue despite please otherwise and demanding always that I discuss the topics they want and never mine and continue to obfuscate then I’m good.

That's because they haven't "quote/tagged" you. If they had you would receive the red circle above.

Good advice, cas. That is key--"diligent in ignoring people". It takes work because we all have that curiosity killed the cat factor to deal with. But I've learned it's a much more pleasant experience on these boards to not have to read the words of those who only want to belittle and demean. Words are powerful--nasty words all the moreso. Don't give them that place in your mind by reading their comments. My advice is to look at who the notifications are from. If from the blocked party, just use the "mark as read" feature. You'll get used to it after a while. And once they realize you aren't responding to them anymore, they'll find something else to do.

I agree it’s discipline which is hit or miss for me these days, previously much more strident in ways like this. Have been thinking about some of the ways Silicon Valley’s backed, not just social media, platforms manipulate volume of activity (Robin Hood as much as Facebook)
