Is there ever a reason to block vs mute someone? Give your reasons.
Does anyone disagree with me that this is retarded? You might make a case against shared block lists, or for politicians but I don't see the reason why regular people shouldn't be allowed to block whoever they want.
Why? I'm not trying to be inflammatory but there's no flowery way to ask if this is due to some ego thing where you need to make sure you're being listened to and heard by some fuckwit.
If you have something to say, say it. Needing to know if the recipient heard it is silly, especially in online public forums where 99.99% of online discourse isn't a discussion at all and is instead a performance for onlookers. Who cares if they don't hear it and don't respond?
If you mute somebody and they know it then they'll trash you even more knowing that you'll never correct their lies, so it actually encourages worse behavior.

Mute is far worse and even more retarded an idea
How is mute worse? Seems like a great idea to me for when you don't care if someone reads your tweets but don't want to see theirs.
At least I should know if I am muted

Don't worry, the people who use Twitter are absolutely the kind to tell you they muted you.
