Preventing yourself from seeing someone else's posts is 
counterproductive. The only effective filter on UseNet is Ignore 
SubThread that includes the whole thread if taken from the top. 

Mutual blocking as implemented on YouTube is the only real way to shake 
trolls. You can't see their posts but they can't see your posts either. 
Will be great when major Internet discussion forums adopt mutual 
blocking. 

Mutual blocking is also implemented on Facebook, but that's less of a 
discussion forum than YouTube. 

YouTube has become my hands-down favorite for discussion thanks to 
mutual blocking. On UseNet, contentious issues are impossible without 
floods of interference. On YouTube, you can discuss anything no matter 
how controversial without it turning into a pissing contest and without 
picking up relentless stalkers.
