    I say leave him alone. I don’t have him blocked. I don’t ever see his content unless I actually do search to see what he’s been up to (spoiler: he was a far right nutbag all along the end).

Hell if he pisses you off specifically you can block him yourself already! This isn’t a community needs to step in issue.
