"fair and balanced" discussions

Maybe there should be an “Ignore Thread” feature so you don’t have to read about the “Ignore Poster” feature?

The ignore feature has been really useful to me in other forums allowing me to not even have to think about certain toxic people in the forum or let them ruin the forum for me, and the implementation of it in Discourse/BBS has been good for me as I now no longer need to worry about the unilaterally declared/mod enforced “Don’t talk about anything I talk about in any thread” command I was issued by a forum member here. Instead, they are now free to use the ignore feature. It helps me even without my using it myself. And I can use it if I find anyone particularly annoying. It helps prevent unhealthy conflicts, effortlessly.
