@dickc from *some* users, sure. But for some users, “block” is tied to a sense of personal safety. Suddenly changing for all feels wrong. -

@dickc The problem is the new "mute-style" block is something we could have added with a browser plugin. But only Twitter can prevent an RT!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
