What gets one blocked? (Not that I'm hoping to get myself blocked). Do you block people merely for trolling?
Generally, I only block people who show an ongoing pattern of disruptive posting. I can respect a talented troll as much as the next guy, but I have no patience for untalented ones.

But then where would those moving in from flyover country be able to find real estate advice? Someone has to point them toward the $350,000 SFHs with updated amenties, half-acre yards, quality schools and 20-minute commutes we're all hiding inside the Beltway.
