 I did not vote on this because it is to ignor threads by someone, now if it was someway to ignore a thread in the section that I am subscribed to then I would say yes.  Like I am subscribed to the SCI section, but if there was a post about "female problems" in that section that put up about 20 posts a day then I would want to have the ability to ingor that one post.  There was a section like this that I was subscribed to that had an arguement on it, I do not remember what it was about but I unsubscribed to the whole section because of the one thread.  I might be missing out on important new posts or I might not be able to help someone because of it but it is the choice I had to make because I could not keep getting my inbox full of just this one thread...

After a short time on disaboom, one learns which posts may have meanung to them. I tend to ignore posts that the poster is always shouting. I will ignore posts that don't apply to me. Read what you like! I does. But I do not feel that anyone has the supreme authority to decide if a topic has been beaten to death. If you don't like the post or the poster, don't open the post.

No.   The main reason is that I feel that I am open minded to ideas.  I may not agree with the opinion of others but I am interested in hearing/reading them.    Having the ability to block postings from certian people is just another way of sticking your head in the sand. 

Just another form of a closed mind...

By automatically ignoring the threads of someone one wants to avoid, or ignore, you're also choosing to ignore what others you do like have to say.

That seems like a pretty well self-imposed, limited way to approach things, not to mention a little silly and needless, IMO. If you don't want to read what someone has written, then just don't. It isn't as if someone you don't like is standing next to you and you have to leave the room to avoid them. ('You', in this case, being whomever wants to avoid someone else.)
