Well, I guess that's one way. Wouldn't it be easier to just not get too worked up about other people's comments?

It's mostly to avoid getting dragged into pointless arguments: https://xkcd.com/386/

Rather than an approach like this, which can only serve to produce an echo-chamber effect, can I recommend the Hacker News Enhancement Suite for Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...)? It remembers the upvotes and downvotes you cast per-user, which provides a very quick at-a-glance reminder of your past opinions of a given member's contributions, and allows you to make a more informed decision about whether or not to engage with them.

This is coming from someone with showdead on, FWIW. I rather like seeing the things that others have deemed "not worth seeing".

FYI I also have "showdead" on and like the approach taken with Enhancement Suite.

The biggest reason I had for writing this extension is when certain users spam a thread with their repetitive points. At that point, it's easiest to just block them. (Though blocking doesn't hide their comment completely, so it's easy to toggle people back on.)
