No no I talked about that though Self-moderation includes not wanting people to be in a discussion that you started. This isn't Reddit. Say I invite all my friends to talk about videogames or whatever the hell. I don't invite the dude who only has shit-talking and flaming to add to that discussion. If I don't want him there, I don't want him there, simple as that. Edit: Look, I'm not saying use mute with abandon. And yes, it could be abused to some degree. But I'd like to think that this community, regardless of what some think about it, is better than that. But I definitely don't think it should go away.Mute silences people from everyone, whether they're talking to you or not. If you've muted someone, they cannot be heard on anything you post.
If you're muted from a discussion, start your own. Then we can all splinter off into a million groups and never have to see each other.
