I Wish /blist Worked in Real Life

Consider this "I wish" entry a series. This would be the second in the series, preceded by the weather effects one earlier.

/blist (blist is short for black list) is a command in FFXI that lets you not see any chat, actions or otherwise in your chat log from characters on our black list. Ever. At least until you take them off.

For example, let me show you this chat log: 

Click on this to see the text. Note: >>Espadas is me talking to Espadas, and Espadas>> is him talking to me. He asked me to join a leveling party.
Click on this one, too!



 After all the traveling I did (through time and space, literally. Where I started was present day and where I was headed was in the past), and knowing where my starting point was, he thought I wasn't coming? That's a crock of shit, obviously. /blist is a handy command for people like this that you'd just rather not associate yourself with.

Imagine, if you will, you had the ability to completely remove any hint of someone's actions affecting you in any way. You can't hear them, you don't know what they're doing, what they're motioning or anything like that.

All you can do is see them.
