Bingo!
It's why I seldom visit here anymore. There's no simple way to block the crazies on these sorts of forums short of, in this case, building a new plugin for myBB.
In the past 3 pages of posts in this topic alone, five of those users are on my ignore list and that's no surprise considering the topic. Unfortunately, the ignore list doesn't block them from seeing my posts. And that is why the conflict cycle doesn't end on PW and the user population is way down. That all began with the political divisive era that recently engulfed this nation. But today, a successful digital social common requires that an individual have the ability to associate with those they find to be socially productive while having the ability to block those who are in conflict with that goal.
I'm sure the vegetable aisle will chime in now, but it will fall on deaf ears over here. LOL.
There's a whole bunch of us here that could engage in meaningful productive dialog without conflict but without the option of blocking, it won't happen much and most people have simply stopped using the forum altogether. The old moderator role can't replace a user based block feature within today's social common world as the only other way to block is to simply not partake.
