At the website I use, its not a permanent decision.. much like the babble mail thing, you can turn it on and off for posters.. so, simply as an example, I was going through a period where your posts grated on me (remember, just an example, you have never grated on me), I could choose an option where I could ignore all posts by you. If a few days later I was feeling stronger, I could then choose to take you off ignore.
The few times I have used it at the other place, its only been a temporary measure. Just when I was feeling particularly sensitive - and when I'm feeling sensitive, I'm not the most rational of people, and so had problems staying away from that persons posts - and I always regret my words the next morning..
But its a completely user led thing.. no one *has* to use it, but the choice is there for those that feel the need to do so.
Am I making any more sense?!
