You read articles that interest you, and exclude those you are not interested in. We exclude people all the time, with private messages or email. If you are faced with people who enjoy annoying others, or enjoy inflicting pain on others, or enjoy seeing other people suffer, you would be wise to try and exclude those types of people from your environment, because it is seldom that you will change them.

Torben...the exclude option we were discussing would only allow and individual person to screen what they want to read. It has nothing with the restricting of the ability of people to post. Everyone acting in a responsible manner is great, but why would an individual SI customer not want more control over screening input to fit what they want? SI already excludes four letter profanity..but why do we need them to be our censor? If I had the exclusion feature, I might choose not to use it..at least that would be my decision. I probably would not exclude much..but it would eliminate any complaining about other's posting style since any given person could exclude it if THEY wanted to. JO
