    How about a button to block someone from pissing endlessly in your thread?
    Or just a MUTE button!  That would be amazing!

    my superpower must be being able to read a response stuck in a quote box and not being upset about it
    As I understand it, nobody is getting upset about reading these.  People are getting upset about getting stuck in a box.  

    When was the last time you were stuck in a box that didn’t belong to Irma Lee at band camp?
    Only flutes belong in band camp boxes.  Duh.

    A mute/hide button would be epic.  Or if a post gets enough dislikes it is collapsed and you have to cluck it to read it.

    I somewhat disagree.

    The notion has a whiff of censorship about it. People should be able to post their thoughts, and show themselves to be the fools that they are. No matter which side you're on. 

    Who thinks who the fool is, is, of course, subjective.

    I would agree if muting someone meant muting them for everyone.  But if it’s just for your own feed, for what you see?  Nah.  That’s not censorship, it’s just convenience.

    Right?  As it is, the closest we get to this is hearing about Hunter’s laptop.

    I hear the flat-earther coalition are going to make a big push in GOP politics in 2024....  Seems legit based on recent history.

    Wow, poetry.

    If you click 'quote' and attempt to edit the quote, or to click anywhere, you cannot "get out of the quote box" to type your reply.

    Sometimes, you just want to highlight part of a quote, or cut out a picture so it isn't so long.  

    But, if you do not begin to type right away, you are stuck in the quote box and have to edit using html.

    That's why many times a reply to a quote is contained within the quote box.
    This seems to be more of an issue with Android phones. Rarely happens when I'm using my iPhone, but happens somewhat frequently on my Android phone. 
    That's interesting. Android user here. There will be times where I start writing something and it kicks me up into the quote box and won't let me get back out. Even when I had no intentions of going inside it. 
    Same here. Usually happens when I fat thumb and try to correct, I get in the qoute box. This didn't use to happen or happen on any other forum. Android user here.

    The funny part is that you are one of the people on here who I often can't always tell is joking around or not.  But I suspect you like it that way, and so even if we had a legit sarcasm font, you just wouldn't use it.  Out of principle, or something.

    I get the same reactions IRL too :)  I think it is part of my charm.  You are right though, I wouldn't use a sarcasm font, or I would just always use it.

    Nobody “errs on the side” of anal.  With anal, you’re either all in or you’re out.

    I was going to add that nobody half-asses anal, but that felt a little too on the nose.

    On another forum the sarcasm emoji is an emoji holding a sign that has sarcasm written on it. No missing it
