I see a couple of possible problems with using it to disengage.
The 'do not post' request lasts forever - or until the requestor rescinds it. If a poster is using it to disengage he/she needs to remember to rescind it when feeling strong enough to re-engage. And hope the other poster sees it.
And it's possible that a 'do not post' might cause some hurt feelings, where a simple 'let's just agree to disagree' wouldn't.
So - my understanding is that it *can* be used for this purpose, but some serious thought is strongly recommended before using it.
