While muting the obvious "trolls" can be helpful I feel that this can [i]potentially[/i] seperate the community. I can see this as being abused and people muting others for not sharing their same opinions. While people should be able control some aspects of their experience on the website I'm not sure if this should be one of them.
Opinions?

Weren't you already able to block people? I don't see anything wrong with it, if people don't want to talk to each other then they shouldn't have to. You can do so by being mature and either muting them or ignoring them, it sounds reasonable to me.
