I see potential in the idea. Not sure what it entals on the back end. If that turns out to be a pain in the ass I'd say forget it.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

That part I totally get. Troll-free is appealing.
It could blow up though, if certain people start excluding other people, it could open a can of passive aggression from other members.
I dunno - I'd recommend trying it and not being afraid to pull the plug - especially if it turns into a nightmare to mod.

Regarding potential tit-for-tat, say some member is a troll or trickster or joker or whatever, you just don't like him or his behavior, and you exclude him from your "My Discussion" threads. And in retaliation he excludes you from his. Well? Cool. :-)
It's not just exclusive. It could be inclusive. Say I want a discussion of anarchy among just anarchists, I could do that. Or if some else want just a discussion among Democrats, there you go. Just make it clear in OP you're under "My Discussion" and what you expect.
A comment on the racist comment, which was funny but "My Discussion" would not allow for that because over-the-top racism is moved to the Hole. IOW, standard rules and moderation still apply.

I would exclude Cigar only because he's black.
... just for the record.

As much as I hate thread derails, I also think Ethereal was right when he said there is not enough diversity of opinion here. These types of threads will end up becoming the conservative and anarchist havens, and be mini Trin's forum.
I guarantee Ravi and even Junie wouldn't block people from their threads. Cigar, either.
It will be (sorry) Kabuki Joe, you (Chris), and other conservatives on here--in my opinion using this feature. If I wanted to talk to conservatives all day I'd call home and speak to my father.
But yall do what you want.

Blocking people from threads is for wussies. Put them on ignore if you can't control yourself.
