While I agree with your argument, I think "mute" has too much of an opportunity to be abused. You are effectively censoring a viewpoint from everyone else when you mute. Let's say I post something controversial, and simply mute everyone who disagrees with me. Now, the conversation looks completely one-sided. Clearly if it's an abusive individual who just follows you around Hubski and calls you dumb whenever you post, it's a useful tool. I still think it would be better if you just ignored that person rather than muted them in this case, too, however.
Is the mute global or is it just limited to that one person? Say you muted me, does that mean someone like swedishbadgergirl wouldn't be able to see my posts anywhere on-site?
