As a good rule of thumb, if you are in doubt over an issue, see what Wisbech's view of it is and take the opposite view and you won't go far wrong. We need a block option.

To assist you in getting an answer to your “real question” WE, I suggest that you look at both Sweden and Florida to see what happens in societies with very limited restrictions… Different population density, demographics and weather all make comparisons impractical. Florida recommends mask wearing and whilst several cities did mandate, it the Governor imposed his own, politically inspired, opinion and stopped them. Their cases are rising.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

They did benefit massively from such a low occupancy per household environment though certainly. That would appear to be a core difference between them and many other countries.

We need a block option. A block option would, if it worked as it does on other sites, stop someone being able to send you personal messages. Which seems perfectly reasonable to me and something I could support. What it wouldn't do is change the way users can participate in a thread. There are already rules we must follow over offensive content. If your real objection is to other people's opinions, and want to see them removed, then I doubt, and very much hope, that will ever happen. As a free speech enthusiast, I trust nor do you.

Maybe then you are on the wrong football fan site! I support Palace, have done for 70 years and think they are the most interesting and worthwhile club. I think Brighton are a bunch of to**sers, Millwall a disgrace to the human race, and Charlton the team that time forgot. Really? That's how you view other football clubs and their supporters?

Perhaps the number of posts one can make per month should be rationed.

I don't see what the issue with a block option would be. It doesn't stop people from posting and those that want to see their posts will see them. It just means that those that don't wish to view them won't see them. If anything it's an incentive to not troll....which I thought was what everyone wanted.
