I am very happy with the new mute feature which I see as lending greater ownership to the real estate of your blog; making it more of a personal space.
I see some dissent. Amidst this is a remarkable number of people who seem to be hurt that they can't comment on those who have chosen to no longer engage or let them engage with them on their personal blog space.
I find a delicious irony in that the complainers are the ones who most often claim others are snowflakes?
Perhaps they protest too much. 😀😀
