Congratulatory post to most: This site is easily the most congenial and free-flowing of all social media sites I have seen. We have thoughtful individuals who make us uncomfortable with IDEAS! How novel! It is incredible. That said, we still have trolls and I encourage all of us to immediately block anyone who is trolling - sexist, racist, religion-baiting, etc. The ONLY way we are victorious over them is to shut them out. As soon as we engage with the hate- and fear-mongers we allow them a foothold.

I do not usually block them, I Snark them!

Can we use axes? Seriously though, at what point should @admin determine the rules for the site, vs what sounds like vigilantism? We can't decide who signs up, we can't remove people, and most of us (though clearly not all) don't want to go back to middle school and deciding who is allowed to sit where, and talk to who.

I suppose if you generated a bunch of posts, and had blocked a bunch of people, i could respond to your posts knowing they wouldnt be seen/answered by the "riff raff". Which is a pretty common tact in groups... you can't be in the group if youve been blocked or have the moderator blocked. But this site wouldnt be very interesting if everything was "white listed" like that.
