A squelch command? A player could squelch another, so that any text produced by the
irritant would not be received by the squelcher. Also, the squelchie could not perform any
acts on the squelcher. One of the drawbacks probably would be that it certainly would
make dieing from PK's obsolete. Although, with friendly PK, or duels, this might be viewed
as chickening out. Thus the standing player wins by forfeit.
