Trolls are going to troll. There's ways around blocks so it's not like it solves that problem anyway. I'd rather they do it in the open where everyone can see and react accordingly.

Take the nostr:npub1yye4qu6qrgcsejghnl36wl5kvecsel0kxr0ass8ewtqc8gjykxkssdhmd0 impersonator/troll for example. They have been following her around for days trolling her notes. After gathering more information on Eliza I have come to the conclusion he is a petty vindictive loser that can't let go of some old Twitter drama and muted him myself.

Let's say Eliza was able to block him completely, but he couldn't let go of his grudge. There might be an escalation from there because he has to look for another outlet to seek satisfaction. When he is only muted at least he can still express his point of view with relatively harmless words, and people that see them can decide for themselves if they have any merit. Eliza should not be making that decision for everyone else by silencing him.

Now maybe my opinion is biased because I'm a large man that has never had a stalker or been threatened seriously, but learning about Bitcoin has pushed me heavily into the idea that people need to take more personal responsibility for many aspects of their lives that would otherwise be delegated to other parties, including personal safety. We can't go around expecting others to protect us from everything, and we have the biggest stake in our own protection, so it's on us to be prepared and make good choices about what risks we are willing to take.
