This is the damage of muting. Klein and I disagree, and despite my attempts to address the problem in the way he wished, he refused to actually discuss, instead suggesting I don't understand what an apology is. As a result, we muted each other. This is the result, my complete and utter inability to respond to any post on a major discussion. This is why muting must not affect one's ability to communicate with anyone else other than the person doing the muting. Keep in mind, Klein is a major user, and this will thus remove a decently sized portion of the site from my ability to communicate. Was this likely a place I'd communicate with anyway? Perhaps not, as I did not follow Klein. However, the effects are unequal, as being a small user, Klein will likely never see any content I push anyway, and thus can mute me without fear of losing the ability to discuss openly. Yet another reason why muting must not affect one's ability to communicate with others.
