The "block" feature is only useful for the easily offended, trigger-warning-seeking, snowflake forum members who cry in fear when their shadow creeps up too close behind them...
I would have to disagree with that. Some people's posts just aren't worth reading. There is a tool which makes not wasting your time very easy to accomplish.

I tried that once, but then I was blocked from seeing threads that the miscreant was posting in, so I unblocked the person. Mostly I find that I can ignore them fairly well with only a minor urge to give their nose a tweak. :)
Blocking does not remove the whole thread, it only removes posts by that person that is blocked; Unless the person that is blocked started the thread. You will see the blocked persons thread if someone else quoted it. And it does leave a little bar that tells you a person you blocked has posted in case you're in the mood for some diarrhea of the mouth.
