Comment ignore. [View all]

I occasionally read articles at newswer, and you can block people there, but you can read replies to them. I like doing that so while I'm no longer exposed to their negativity, I can see the replies to them and get a sense of other users reactions to them. That way I can follow most of the discussion.
Ignore here is a) block them from mailing you, or b) block them from mailing, all their posts, and all replies to their posts. I did that to someone here, then went back to the discussion and it was like a completely different thread. It just eviscerated the contents including many replies I agreed with or found thoughtful.
Since Earl G is redoing the site, maybe he can set up a newser/disqus style of direct post muffling, but revealing the replies. As it is, the site is like that pretty much already, as I'll see posts hidden or removed by writer. If this suggestion is implemented, it would be a) blocked from mailing, b) comment ignore, or c) full ignore.
[Edit for typo]
= new reply since forum marked as read
