I don't think you can
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
If the behavior is inappropriate, report him to Heather and let her take care of it.

You can't.
Best you can do is to place them on ignore. You will see they responded or posted but you won't see what....unless someone quotes them and you see that.
I had to do it to someone recently and, while I can see they posted i don't see the cr.p that they actually posted
I have this same person blocked on 2 forums as their trolling and need for attention is just that pathetic.
So, while you can't stop them from seeing your posts and you can't prevent their posting in your thread, do yourself a favor and place them on ignore. Your sanity and blood pressure will appreciate it
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Snapshot the offending text and send to Heather and/or put them on ignore.
The recommendation for 'Ignore' is the best you can do other than reporting offensive behavior.... I just do not respond to trolling... Cheers, RickO
Why would you want to do that?> @Timbuk3 said:
The troll is only successful if YOU respond. Ignore, and you will not see it, enjoy the sunshine, birds sing.
Meanwhile, the troll is consumed writing responses that the target will never see.
I hope you can see this posting.
I've always felt about half the replies on this forum are borderline trolling (AKA replies from from snarky or unhappy old men). Your replies are usually positive comments that encourage. Just fight the urge to read them.
That is an outrageous claim.
A reply that is judgemental as to
Emotional State
Sexist
Ageist.
While I am a male, I am not unhappy nor old.
Have you prepared your apology for the trifecta insult from a member who has been here less than a month.

Sorry, you're correct. Half the replies I read-I don't read every post
@Timbuk3 I always associate you with irrepressible enthusiasm and joy. Use the ignore feature and keep inspiring others!
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
"Please sir, I want some more" or you can ignore me.
Yeap you can only ignore them and you wont have to read their stuff but they will still be able to read you'd stuff. Click on their icon and then you can go to their profile and click on ignore.

If you stop posting, both will be accomplished. Draconian but effective.
But what if they are compliments?
People sometimes smile as the stab you in the back.

Aaron Rodgers could use some blocking help too.
What about snarky? :-)
