Any content that's interacted with isn't visible to a user who is either muted (ie: If you muted a user in a thread) or blocked by that user. So any reply by them, or them quoting that person, falls under that umbrella. They're choosing not to see that content, so it shouldn't be forced on them.
And as I said in another thread, Musk took the block away but removed the ability to reply to a blocked user. I don't see the point since the end result is that there won't be an interaction, which no one here wants to watch two people snipe back and forth anyway.
I get it - I'd be annoyed if I were on someone's block list (I apparently ended up on Jim Murray's after writing a post earlier this offseason about his comments on Maye, and he apparently found out about it). I was surprised and disappointed, but I didn't let it get to me.
I didn't say anything that was that bad, other than directly quoting him, and I wonder if that got him in trouble. Still, I don't know how much he really believes what he said or if it was just a schtick to create some friction for their show. But whatever, he feels the way he feels, and it's fine.
In the case of this place, you've got plenty of people here who certainly enjoy talking with you, so I'd spend more time interacting with them instead.
