>>>>>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:

Just twit the whiners. We would all miss you.
