>>>I disagree. The twit filter is not meant (my understanding anyway) to prevent a user from replying to a thread. If you employ a twit filter it shouldn't affect anyone else - in other words, you are filtering what you see, not what people are able to post or what others may view. It is a filter which only applies to you. It shouldn't prevent anyone from replying to a thread. It should only filter what you view.

>>Tracy, I disagree here. Putting someone on your twit filter list means that you don't like to interact with that person. In a COMMUNITY that implies that you will have to refrain from ANY conversation that the twitted person is part of. So, the code should be:

On all the forums I visit I have nowhere seen a twit filter in effect, so I don't know from own experience what the normal behavior is.

Another question is whether normal behavior is correct behavior BECAUSE it is normal. Certain people in certain countries expose behavior that's normal there, but immoral in my eyes. Perhaps it's indeed a cultural thing, as Mike Cole wrote in this thread.

Or it's a civilization thing. In my 'circles' it is not custom behavior to go to a party while refusing to talk to one of the other visitors. If that person is invited also, then you simply do not go. Suppose you go and the other person starts to talk to you and you act asif that person is like air, then it would give tensions in the whole group.

Similarly, at work too it is not custom behavior to refuse to talk to a colleague. It would give tensions in the whole department.

Unless there are severe and legitimate reasons, treating someone as air is anti-social behavior, it's as simple as that. Jay Johengen is behaving here anti-social, it's as simple as that. Update: And the UT enables him to behave in that way.
