I feel really dumb, but I still haven't figured out how to block someone.
Can anyone walk me through it please?
I haven't figured it out either. However, the person I wanted to block eventually got himself booted off the system for offending too many people (in ways that violated the site rules).
I think as th sit egets larger at some point htye will have to make it possible to block people, but for now, sometimes it is interesting to get a different viewpoint.
