    Default Any way to make yourself invisible to a user

    Hey all. So I try to get along well and respect people on this site. There are a couple posters who just post to stir shit and be controversial. I know that I can block them which will allow me to not see their posts. Is there a way to make it so they can't see my posts? I just hate them alway quoting me and twisting my words and just trying to get a reaction. I imagine there is no way to do this? If that's the case, I probably just need to ignore them when they do their stupid shit and wait for them to get banned lol.

    I wish there was. I suspect I'd want to hide the same posters you want to. Overall, I find it best not to engage with posters you don't care for. Another suggestion- don't participate in anything controversial. I used to argue with people, mostly on other sites, all the time until I came to several realizations. #1 I don't really enjoy arguing/debating about topics. Engaging in the threads often made me anxious and brought out the worst side of me. After several years of doing this I realized how I enjoyed forums more when I didn't argue with others. #2 Rarely do people ever win internet arguments. It's a huge waste of time. You just get upset, fixate on a thread, and end up with very little reward. #3 Most people are so entrenched in their position that you're not going to change their minds. I still read some of the threads on here where people go back and forth and I agree with you on most topics but you see I don't really get involved in the conversation. I might throw a comment out there every once in a while but often times I never even go back and read the replies. I'd much rather spend my free time reading about sports or fishing or some random fluff than arguing about gun control or abortion or Covid ect. ect. ect.

    Block and don't engage is the only way.

    I mean if going back and forth on sensitive topics in the lounge sub-forum is getting to you then maybe stick to hockey topics .

    Theres no middle ground these days so just avoid the confrontation in the first place
