2. Possible doesn't, however, mean easy, so another feature I hope to implement is "blinders":

3. Sometimes interacting with others may be frustrating, staying civil may be a challenge, and new skills may help. If you're open to developing new skills (which I realize may not be why you came in the first place), that's another way in which you may be supported by other posters.
4. Sometimes people have an "internal poster" that condemns them. They can't just ban it. What are they supposed to do?
