Come on. Do it. You know you want to. Just do it.
There was someone here a few months ago - I can't remember the screen name - that blocked an entire group of people, even those with whom she never had any interaction. Guilt by association, I guess you would call it.
From my perspective, you can't really know or judge people if you bury your head in the sand. Unless you rely on others to tell you how to think. I think that's sad.

Why are you trying to discourage canine entrepreneurs? What if that dog has a legitimate idea for a home-based small business and your lawn happens to be a good spot for marketing? :-p

- "Special snowflake syndrome" (people who think they are as unique as snowflakes and deserve to be treated as special and beautiful no matter how horrible and/or unimpressive their behavior may be)
- People who believe the plural of "anecdote" is "data" (hint: it's not! Come back with n > 30 and we'll talk)
- Eye makeup that melts and makes me look like a raccoon within 20 minutes (i.e. 90% of it)
- Activist groups who think that evolution shouldn't be taught in schools because it's "just a theory" and you can't see it (technically, so is gravity, but I don't see anybody claiming that discussing why we don't go flying off the ground into space threatens anyone's sincerely-held religious beliefs)
