This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Have you included a snarky error message for someone who tries to block his own posts?

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

If you unblock a single post and then block a different user, when it reloads, you still have the single post unblocked (which was cool). If you leave the thread and come back, then the post will be blocked again.

Is this a problem? How would you prefer it to work?

Nah. We just went with prevention.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Doesn't work. I tried, as frankly I am just not an interesting person sometimes... But it doesn't work.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You're fired.

Sigh.

Just to see if I could, I have about 100 people blocked right now.

You can block 100 people?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is there a limit to how many people one can block? (There doesn't seem to be, and I don't think we need one, so I'm purely asking out of curiousity.)

I did. It took some effort, though.

All is well that ends in pizza.

It would be handy to have a "block all" and then unblock one or more.

Especially when you are looking for multiple posts by that person or persons.

Of course, I forgot to chime in to help, so I don't exactly know what it looks like. I tried logging into .net, to no avail.

I think thread sucking and CTRL+F is still a better way to do that. The usernames and taglines are still there & messages saying you've blocked this post, so you'd still have to scroll through a lot of stuff.
