 Agreed.  I think on it like this: one goes to the newsstand and buys a copy of The Times (or we can say the online version since The Times has a presence there).

And, if I didn't like 'The Times' presentation, I could always buy 'The Wall Street Journal' if I preferred their presentation i.e. CHANGE THE FUCKING CHANNEL!!

It is very rare that one reads every single article in the entire paper...usually reading the article titles, and skipping the articles that do not interest them.  Usenet works the same way, and the user has the ability to exclude posters that they do not care for (unlike the newspaper).
 

If anybody cannot use a newsreader to block people like you, or
me even, all they have to do is ask and somebody would surely
help them achieve their aims.

 As I've said before, at this point if someone doesn't know how to use killfiles or thread filters...they don't want to know how to use them, and won't take the 30 seconds to learn.
