There's a dude who posted some thing about how Dean Koontz wrote a novel about a virus developed at the Wuhan Lab, insisting that it was him bragging, 30 years ago, about this being an actual plan. When I pointed out that the original book had it developed in Russia, but the novel was changed after the cold war, he's gotten annoying and rude, and I'm just tired of dealing with this tool. How do I make it that I don't see his nonsense anymore?

Free speech is a two way street.
Yes, there is a way to ignore specific users, by ignoring them.
In a real-world conversation, if someone is annoying, I can walk away from them. They can still talk, I just can't hear them, then. I don't want to make him shut up, I just want to internet walk away.
Watch how easy this is.... 💨
Look down. permalink--deport--BLOCK--reply
Nobody is forcing you to read that user's comments.
You don't need the mods to waste their time solving a problem that doesn't exist.
Being exposed to opinions you don't like will help grow you some thicker skin.
Problem solved.
You are welcome.
So I found the user in question and went through the thread on Koontz. Honestly, I think you got off easy and I’m not sure you even need to worry about blocking him.
You definitely don’t have a reason to hit deport so let that ship sail. You’re comments were reasonable though, I’ll give ya that.
I really REALLY hate someone here, but I ignore his posts.
Are you talking about that EC troll?
Nah dont know him, was just playing in the hope someone would respond so I could go off. It's you, you bastard!!
No one else seeing the button next to deport (and reply)?
It wasn't there when I posted. These fucking Modmins, and their unbelievable speed. Huge thanks to you all!
I don't want to drop the hammer on him, as he's not being terrible. He's just kinda being a juvenile turd, and I'd rather not forget what his name is and fall into his puerile crap a second time.
Don't use the deport button on people you disagree with.
There's no rule stating that everyone must agree with Bluestorm83.
Have some respect for the mods. They shouldn't be wasting their time sifting through deport requests from everyone who lost an argument.
If you're deporting people because you lost an argument, that's just spiteful and a waste of the mods time.
You're deported because I disagree.
(not really)
That hasn't been working as fast as in the past with the uptick in traffic.

Troll faggots downvoted the request of course - because they're trollfaggots.
You start by ignoring the user
Edit: I found the thread, I think you got off easy.
