Default Blocking senders

I don't care if you threaten me, my kittens, my koi, (my tractor is a
different story), or much of anything, I still won't be "blacklisting"
folks. If you kill me, I sure won't be "blacklisting" anyone. Now if you
send me a threatening post, that's entirely different, and the post may be
returned, indeed, it may have a number of things done with it, such as
forwarding the post to various people and agencies. It probably wouldn't
get posted, as it is difficult for me to imagine how one could make a
"civil" threat, although there is something to be said for making such
threats public. Anyway, the whole thrust of the article was to say that
"blocking senders" was not on the table, nor did I feel that any threats
would be effective in making us block a particular sender.
