Anyway, the "him or me" move is lame and authoritarian. Don't go looking for fights simply because of sports-teamism, there are sufficient stupid people in the world doing stupid things (such as rms) that you can simply wait until you have a legitimate cause for grievance to Complain About Others. (Hell, it's my favorite pastime, I should know.)
100%, sneak. We are headed down a lonely path when we start to sort ourselves into bubbles consisting only of people with whom we share the same views.
You block the first person because they disagree with you on topic A, you block the second person because they disagree with you on topic B, … pretty soon you’ve got a diagonalization argument and there’s no one left to disagree with. Mission accomplished, really?
