Because we were discussing the topic of IF the only way to fix this issue is to ditch the existing blocking function THEN what would be your threshold for when you'd be OK with that?
Right now, Morrus seems to either be disinterested or not willing or able to go through whatever difficulties are involved with fixing it. If that remains the case, then the only option available may be to ditch the existing block function (though I will raise the topic with him again).
If you have a threshold somewhere on that metaphorical line which runs from on the far left end "ditch it on principle even if it never impacts anyone ever" to the far right end of "never ditch it even if all posts are completely ruined because of it," then perhaps can you understand why other people's thresholds might be on some other point along that line somewhat to the left of yours. Asking about your threshold begins to establish a means to try and talk about empathizing with those who simply chose a slightly different point along that line. You don't have to agree with them of course...
Here’s the thing. I don’t think unrealistic hypotheticals are useful in this case, and in any reasonably likely case, I’d rather leave things as they are than ditch block, if forced to choose between those two options.
