I'd encourage it :)

No, it's silly to just hate someone you enjoy simply because of their association, now if they begin to adopt those traits that you dislike that's different, but simply engaging with a person you don't particularly like shouldn't make you like the person less, I think that says more about you than it does them.

Not bothered, just curious as to what keeps them interacting with the person.

It doesn’t “bother” me as such. But I do kind of wonder why they’d speak to someone who’s proven over and over again that they can be really horrible to other users. Just because they’re being nice to you today doesn’t mean they’re not going to be awful to you tomorrow when they’re drunk, or when you say something they don’t agree with, or because they think being a twat on the internet is cool or something. And people answering their questions only makes them feel that their hissy fits are legitimised somehow. They don’t bother me, I can easily ignore them, but the people who answer their questions do go down in my estimation a bit.

Sometimes, yeah. I've expressed this a few times before though. There are specific kinds of interactions that people have (and have had, for years now) with the most toxic users here that make me sigh. But to be clear, the fact that I don't pretend that doesn't happen to me when it shows up on my feed isn't me telling other users who they can and can't interact with. I'm allowed to say mama, I think this is steaming hot garbage, right? I'm not saying steaming hot garbage is illegal, I'm saying "none for me, thanks" if that's what's for dinner.

Context is key - and I don't think I care enough to think of a working example where I could be bothered.

The shittiest users here have their own little reject circlejerk going, kind of amusing.. But for the most part no, sometimes they ask good questions, it's only their opinions that suck.

No. Not at all. It's like having a friend that is friend with someone else you can't stand. I think we're adult enough to know how to separate relationships. Each one can choose their own friends or who they want to interact with. I find the "with me or against me" a bit childish thing tbh.

This site is so small that I can't say it's likely I ever have, or ever would feel that way on here.

No. I mean I still would block some users here in a heartbeat if it was a given possibility but I have no stress if people are interacting with users that are detestable in my opininon. I just hate conflicts, fights, wars and whenever it is possible, I try to be nice and don't lose my cool or I just ignore. It baffles me how anybody can cause first blood. What is wrong with us humans? If you don't like somebody, just ignore his or her butt. You don't have to read their comments, or like their answers, or check out their profile, read or answer their questions, and you don't have to keep a conflict alive and well, just let it die. To everybody here with the problem: Champs, chill!
