Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Using 'm', the micro-font is implemented in the lab. Soon, the letter 'p' will be considered, to automatically correct the passive voice.
'f'? Fragments.

Apart from me doing the debugging and general validation of the user block code, we also need user documentation of it -- was that ever written?

Ahhh, I think I volunteered to write documentation, then slacked. Sorry.
I will work on a draft, right now!

Also -- there was a decision to not call it MARCIE, right? Just blocking?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yup.

Ok, how's this for the "how to" page:
How to use the Block feature
If, for whatever reason, you wish to avoid reading the posts of an individual Buffista, you may block their posts. Click on the "Block" link, next to the username of the person that you want to filter out. This will hide the content of their posts to you in all threads. What you will see is a note under their username saying "This post was rendered blinvisible."
If you wish to read one post from someone you have blocked, click on the link in the post that alllows you to display the text from that post only, while leaving the rest of that person's posts blocked.
If you decide to once again begin reading the posts of that individual, you can unblock the posts by either clicking the "Unblock" link next to the individual's username, or you can click on "Set Profile", scroll down to the list of "Filtered Users", and uncheck the box beside the name of the individual(s) you wish to unblock. Hit "Ok" to save your changes to your profile page and voila, they are unblocked.
Generally, announcing you've filtered someone is considered extremely rude. Accusing people of blocking you is also uncool. Just remember that "the Buffistas are...[a] flame-free community." (link to the ettiquette page?)
