text: No, that is not the purpose of the block function. The block function is to screen out trolls, self-righteous finger-waggers, fake news spammers, internet Inquisitors and assorted pests who routinely set up court, derail discussions, make conversation unpleasant, and project an image of Catholicism as a dungeon of sorrows. In the Venn diagram this lot overlaps with people one disagrees with, but only to an extent.
  
  Please, Civil Comments, give us blocking for Christmas.
