Bingo. unctoothman, you are suggesting that there is a lot more good faith in
those "communication" attempts than there sometimes is. Plenty of times that good faith attempt to understand is there, and in those cases this new feature won't have any impact because you rarely see people ignoring (and wanting to block interaction) with others who are communicating in good faith.

But there are also a decent number of people who see posting on CB as a sport. They enjoy getting under the skin of anyone they can. They have no intention of "communicating in good faith". It's all about poking and annoying people (pushing people to get themselves banned is a bonus). There are more than a few who fit in this category. These are the people who have to worry about features like this (or the recip ignore).

I have found that it is not hard to avoid being ignored by bunches of people. I bet if those who are bothered by this new feature chose to apply themselves, they could limit the number of people who want to block interaction with them just as easily.
