oh thats rich.
let me quote to you every reply you've given me so far in this thread. this will be a good laugh.

They would be, though. That’s exactly what they’re saying could happen - you just wouldn’t be able to see it. In effect, what they described is exactly what you’re claiming to be a problem, except worse because it’s exclusively in control of the harasser.

how would preventing the harasser from commenting on my posts give the harasser more control than letting them comment on my post?

How? One new account that blocks the victim and it’s exactly what you’re arguing against, except now the user doesn’t get the choice to ignore it or fight back. It’s completely invisible to them.

With how it works here, it’s the victim’s choice to endure it or isolate themselves from it. Do you not see how that’s better?

You still haven't explained how control is being handed to the harasser. In fact, you said the victim is getting blocked, so I'm not clear who you even consider to be the victim here. And in fact, it doesn't need to be invisible to them.

You’re hinging on the wrong part. The only difference between the scenarios laid out is who has the choice. In the one you are arguing for, the choice is in the hands of the harasser.

again, you haven't explained how control is being handed to the harasser

I have. Multiple times.

no, you have not.

and that is every reply that I can find that you sent to me.

but meanwhile I actually went into detail about who would be able to do what, and what that would mean for both parties.

so... thats pretty embarrassing for you.
I know it can be difficult to keep things straight with so many threads going on, but have a bit of humility.
