I didn't see a place to add a message to a post when I reported someone for abuse, so I'm here. And, I realize this place is to vote to have someone's account removed, and I'm sure if I mention this dude's screen name... some people have had benign interactions with him. But, that's not been my experience.
But, this dude has been following me around for months now, just looking for any opportunity to argue. He's insulted me on so many levels, I'm not going to repeat it here as that should be a private discussion. It's pure evil. He doesn't listen. I've asked him to stop talking to me because our interactions go nowhere and it's just wasting time. He won't. He continues on what's seeming like for the better part of half a year just arguing away.
Since CP refuses to add a block feature to handle people like this, I can't just block the dude. I want nothing to do with him. If I'm being real people like him are the reason I post less here on CP. Life's too short and all that.
So, this is a long way of saying, is there a secondary option of just blocking this dude? If account removal has to happen though, I'm game. 
Will post his username upon request.

Neither is this the correct forum.

Well crap.  This dude won't stop, and I didn't see an email link under one of Chris' posts. Can you help a brother out?

I have similar problems stopping all these cries of "Censor him! Quiet him! Get him away from here! I do not want opposing arguments to what I say!"
If these cries for censorship would cease, it would be much more quiet in here.

You need to work on your comprehension dude.
- Talking about blocking him... from me. This is not censorship. Duh.
- He is harassing me. You're not an expert on this matter. Be smarter.
- Refer to point 2.

Hey, this is your third attempt in an hour to post this - the previous two has been removed. Expect this one to be removed as well!
The problem is that your definition of "harassment" includes stating opinions and arguments that do not agree with yours. You obviously do not want any opposition, but demand the right to have the last word.
When I do state opposition, you tell me to shut up, go away, silence. You do not accept my opinions but will censor them from the discussion.
When I refer to the right to free speech, Universal Declaration of Human Righs Article 19, you take that as "abuse", "following you around", and "insults".
It doesn't look like the admins agree with your judgement. Stating differing opinions in a follow up post, and defending it by referring to UDHR-19 (which is roughly corresponding to the First Amendment, in case you refuse to look up something non-American), seems to be within limits of the acceptable on CP.
And there is no reason to keep my user name secret. Look up all the posts I have made the last few days, but don't forget to, in every single case, look up the post I am answering to, and include that in your judgement.
I also suggest that you do not use trump case if you want to follow up.

You don't know what abuse means, clearly. If I followed you around for months and did nothing but argue with and insult you... I bet you'd sing a different tune as to what constitutes harassment. You think you know everything because you saw one post? Perhaps you should exercise better judgement in your accusations and stop wasting my time.

Also, I'm not even talking about you. Unless you have two accounts. And if you do, just to get me to reply to this... then you're only proving how much of a stalker you are.

How to you define "stalking"?
Is answering to several of your posts with relevant counter arguments, disagreeing with yours, considered "stalking"? Is it more so than you consistent, immediate cries of "Censor him! You be silent! Get out of here!", with no sort of rational (or for that sake, irrational) justification for your demands?
You censorship demands are making so much noise to try to get me out of CP that it is difficult to see how you can be the one being stalked. If you hadn't started your screaming, the discussions would have been calm and civilized, and noone would ever have been thinking of anything like "stalking" or "harassment" or "insults". Removing all of your censorship demands out of the discussions (along with my follow ups) would have left it as a quite normal, disciplined debate.

While I partly understand your frustration, I’m wondering how would you see this working from a technical point of view. Should the person be blocked from directly replying to your messages? What about replies to replies? Should his messages be invisible to you? Would the conversation still be intelligible? Not sure how this could work.
On the other hand, I feel that anyone who speaks in a public place should be prepared to hear dissenting views. I’m sure standup comedians aren’t happy when they get heckled, but that’s life 😂

From some of the videos I have seen recently, I think they actually enjoy the challenge. I saw one where the comedian said to the heckler, "Give up now mate, you will lose.". And true to his word he destroyed the guy.

There are a couple of videos like that running the net... and they are all worth viewing. I whish I could counteranswer with that souveranity while destroying the other person without getting emotional.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes, stand-ups have some very special talents.

This has been handled on every social site. It's not a new model. In short, replies to replies are generally passed through but direct ones are blocked.

If it were a dissenting view that would be one thing. This has crossed over to harassment. Anyone who's not socially awkward (not saying that's you) knows the difference. Unfortunately, programmers typically have no social skills.

I was debating if I should reply but I have a bad day and, against my better judgment, I decided to answer.

Maybe this kind of passive-aggressive comments create some of the friction... just a thought.

100% agree with you. I'm not even saying it's mature of me to say that. So, totally agree. It doesn't mean I'm wrong though. You could argue I'm wrong for pointing it out. But, in my world, that's a benign statement. I find the less mature a person is the more they are taken aback by talk of such nature. Just keeping it real man.
Mircea Neacsu wrote: Cura te ipsum.
It's not a matter of curing myself, per se. I have nothing in common with the average person on CP, and I never will unfortunately. My only cure would be to stop coming here or just blacklist people.
Anywho, thanks for disagreeing with me civilly at least. Hope your day gets better.
