Issue 3: I like the new recommend feature. It allows us to demonstrate some sort of value we hold to particular comments or the quality of commentary from particular posters. I would also like to see some sort of disapproval feature. Some of the personal attack and thread raging might disipate if we had some other way of showing disapproval. Well we have rational comment but ... eh It might make sense, but you would also get a lot of disapproval votes for very rational posts, by people who hold the opposite political opinion, or by conspiracy theorists and such. As for ignore, as long as you don't turn it off you don't read the posts. If someone is so sensitive that the mere fact that someone has posted to them, causes them emotional harm even if they don't read the content, then they probably should stay out of forums where political and other controversial issues are discussed. I might agree with telling someone to stop posting to someone else on the thread when there posts have been harassing. But I don't think it should be common, and I think it should require a relatively high level of justification, not just a "I want a no to or about with you".
