I agree with everything you say here. But...

... some of us try to be good neighbours by making sure newbies know the difference between using Mute (you don't hear from them anymore) and Block (they can't read your posts anymore either). Also that Favourite - unlike Like on Titter - doesn't help increase a post's visibility, only Boost does.

I hope you're not mistaking this for telling people off.
