  I think the person making the thread has ignored that person.

  Either what CC99 said, or the thread starter can choose to mute just certain posts.
  
  Take Dugan's thread about Bloomberg buying the Democratic nomination for instance. I noticed a lot of SJG's comments are muted but not all of them. That leads me to believe that Dugan doesn't have SJG blocked like a lot of folks, but chooses to mute some of his rambling.
  
  You can tell who has who blocked when every single one of their posts shows up as mute in a thread. It's how I got my list of folks who have SJG blocked. It's a good number of people.

  You go through threads looking at who has all of bis posts blocked and then made a list?

  Yes I did. One day I was reading the threads on the front page and I noticed every time I clicked unmute post it was an SJG post. So then I was curious to see who all had him muted.
  
  Personally I'm surprised that more folks don't have you muted, Icey, but I gotta admit it's entertaining to read some of the back and forth shit you get into with other members. Other folks probably feel the same way.

  TFP you don't find it weird to go through threads. Finding his nuted comments. Counting them. Then making a list of who blocked him?

  At Icey I didn't count them. I went through the thread, unclicked the muted comments, and upon seeing SJG's were blocked every time, came to the conclusion that thread starter blocked him. When I noticed that was the case for a lot of threads, I became curious and started keeping a list. I seem to add new names every couple days.
  
  Weird? Maybe. I know I'm a weirdo. I also think you're a weirdo, but for different reasons. It's all good.

  @TFP note that IceyDodo is one who puts someone on ignore but then goes and un-mutes their posts and reads them anyway. 🤪

  I don't see too-much-value in the Mute-function - doesn't seem to act as a block to keep the muted-PL from posting, it just means it's not readily visible unless the reader un-mutes it (unless I am not fully understanding the Mute function).

  ^ I can see that - but looks like it sorta only declutters it for the OP since he's the only that can mute someone in the thread and not everyone will agree on who/what is to be muted.
  
  Not a big-deal - it has some value - I think it would work better as a declutter if everyone had the power to mute specific posts and it'd be muted only to them/their-view - analogous to how one can mute individual-threads, but in this case one could also mute individual-posts within a thread.
