I understand that, but still support bigots being able to be bigots on their own blog posts. This is because I do not wish for my blog to be censored when people disagree with me. I think each blog "owner" should be the ultimate arbiter and authority in deciding what can or cannot be posted on said blog.

I think @cogent-pursuit raises some good points.
I think the blocking thing is just too face-booky. I don't want a bunch of "yes men " on my blogs. I can see people just blocking for bs reasons. It will create other problems too, since everything is seen in the blockchain (via other sites), you'll have posts popping up "oh, I'm so sad "xyz asshole" blocked me " that's tame. You'll have people making comments like you can't stand up for yourself or whatever. Its a pain in the ass but the muting is enough of a help for me, to choose to ignore or not. You create sort of an artificial environment when a block feature is readily available. The blog is on a public space so it's not quite the same as a "neo Nazi demo in your living room." That being said i do see where you are coming from. Just not sure blocking is the answer
This is an interesting point, and I do hear what you are saying. I appreciate the alternate perspective.
Glad to do it. Hope you have a swell day. Free of rude posters/trolls =)
You too!
