		<description><![CDATA[To be honest I don&#039;t see any of this as a problem. In the future we&#039;ll all share blocklists, and we&#039;ll all block each other. Yes, it&#039;s balkanaization, yes it means we&#039;ll be unable to communicate and understand each other, but that&#039;s what&#039;s happening now, without blocklists.

Twitter is cesspit. Depending on your poision of choice it can be a right-wing cesspit, or a left-wing cesspit, or no-doubt any other kind of cesspit you favor. &#039;Communications technology&#039; hasn&#039;t helped us communicate, it&#039;s just demonstrated that we&#039;d be better off not hearing from most of the human race. 

At the end of they day the kind of person who will put you on a blacklist is often doing you a favor, because the people who follow them and use their blacklist will not be people you want to interact with. 

Personally I think whitelisting in the answer, block most of them except those whom others vouch for.

In other news, Godwin&#039;s law needs to be redefined: any opinion that challenges a leftist position will eventually result in someone being accused of being a gater.]]></description>
