So.... What do you think about clearing out the block list? [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by William769 (a host of the Hillary Clinton group).

There are 830 people on the block list. Many have been there for a long time. DU has moved on to the GE and this time Hillary is the candidate.

I know that a lot of people have earned their way onto that list, but many are also long gone or are now Hillary supporters (possibly by default). I know you think I'm nuts to suggest it, but it's worth doing as a matter of good faith, mending fences, etc. If people cause problems you can block them again. And if they're really bad they will get tombstoned anyway.

So what do you think? Can we do it?

If past sins are being forgiven, is there amnesty for "hides" as well or must we wait the standard.. Walk away Jun 2016 #19
Good topic for discussion. I'd wait at least a few days, maybe a week, to see how it shakes out... Hekate Jun 2016 #16
We just had to block someone else. Unless littlestar says differently there will be no unblocking. William769 Jun 2016 #23
