I can smell what’s coming after the HC hire

Your premise of personally determining a poster is not behaving according to your interpretations of the emotional norms has been "litigated" on thousands of message boards for 22 years by my count. The time-honored solutions are...

1) Don't read the posts or threads by posters who upset you.

2) Use the block function as desired.

3) Express your disappointment with tone or content of posts by clicking "emojis."

4) Remember, you might be annoying to fellow posters but they practice any combo of 1, 2, and 3 to cope.
I've used the ignore feature just this week with great success. I've always resisted it in the past because most people can be adults, but I just don't want to read anything from one particular poster anymore. It's been quite nice the last couple of days. Ignore Feature 5/5 stars.
