It's neither weak nor censorship to ignore posters, but it is rude, except in extreme cases (such as Texarkana, Cora, arguably Reaganfan).
How is it rude? It is an accepted and acceptable tool on almost every forum.
You don't have to use the feature, just don't respond to their posts. Even trolls occasionally make intelligent points, and if you ignore them all the time, you may miss those rare moments of intelligence.
if it's that good, it will get quoted.
I agree with the OP. Stop responding to trolls people.
