people filter out all sorts of stuff on a daily basis - why do so many find that hard to carry over to ch1?
if someone is going after you personally, you have /.squelch (the bad man), if someone is going off on someone else or just in general, simply ignore it... 3 lines of text... not hard to just let it scroll up and stuff.
now if someone is going off on a subject you personally find offensive and don't want to see, a /.squelch list is merely a cop out.
seems like a lot of you need long walks on the beach.
