“BLOCK” Function?


  I’ve tried a search here for such a function,and I’ve come up empty. Is there a way to block certain members? Not just from personal messages,but so they don’t show up in any topic I’m reading. Sometimes it’s nice to ask a question and learn something without someone trying to rub your nose in your lack of knowledge like a dog that did his business in the house.  I am all for learning from others. That’s one of the reasons I frequent this site. However,there are some folks here that do have vast knowledge, but are as abrasive as 40 grit sandpaper. For those folks I’m ready to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Many who are not good enough to assert themselves in real life do it
on social media.

I think he's probably like this in real life actually.  It's just that he requires constant validation to keep his demons at bay....latent insecurities and general life unhappiness.  Someone needs to be blamed for how he feels - and that's what we are used for - a target to direct his life frustrations and assert his higher worth compared to the rest of the earth's humans.   
@jetter Unfortunately creating a Tweak topic won’t constrain the behavior the OP is referencing:

Sometimes it’s nice to ask a question and learn something without someone trying to rub your nose in your lack of knowledge like a dog that did his business in the house.

This behavior has no topical boundaries for certain participants.
Its also nice to be able to read a thread that doesn't go completely off topic. Something maybe the OP is only now beginning to relate to.

Or not. Reading comprehension, self-awareness, both in short supply.

So now the OP is getting admonished while complaining about rude behavior. lol  Seriously, this is taking on SNL parody levels of ridiculousness now.
We all figured it out.
He’s talking about you.

Really, we’re talking about the guy who in this thread alone has:

1) Claimed someone wants to lock him up for having a different opinion - (Amazingly he can’t distinguish differing opinions from totally berating someone and deliberating make him feel stupid. Yes, there’s actually a difference in civilized society where humans are respected.)

2) Suggested that the OP possesses poor reading comprehension and self-awareness skills.

3) Accused all thread participants other than himself of being junior Marxists.

That’s who we are really talking about? lol

I do find it interesting that he immediately knew everyone was talking about him. Was it the reference to rubbing a dogs nose in it? Maybe the 40 grit abrasiveness? Even he knows "If the shoe fits...."
