      Hey @dickc, this block change just encourages continued trolling. Why did you do it? http://tgsm.us/1fods81  cc @EliLanger

          @dickc seems like renaming Block to Ignore may mitigate expectations a bit

          @MatthewKnell @dickc ... or restore Block's functionality and add Ignore as something separate.

          .@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 That is a feature people wanted, but the feature you *took away* was much more important! If that's the reasoning you could add both.

          @dickc Before, I had both the "old block" (by clicking block) and the "new block" (by using a silence plugin). Now I have only the second.

          @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!
