YES.

Enabling such a function will only keep the "tension" between such users. Like 86 said, "nothing will get solved that way".
Confrontations (well I prefer the term: "debates") are always the best way to solve problems (IMO). There's always going to be a time when a user doesn't mean any offense, but someone will take offense to whatever comment made. Enabling an "ignore" function will NEVER give the 'offender' the chance to explain/set things straight. Thus tension/hostility will never find resolve.
Bottom line. What I'm trying to say is that, running away from your problems will never solve anything more or less be a benefit to anyone. ;)
