How to hide people on Twitter without blocking them

Twitter's mute button is a little-known trick that is severely understated. It allows you to keep following an account but hides its tweets and retweets from your timeline.

It's a simple way to rid a person from your Twitter without unfollowing them and thus offending them. They'll never know when you mute them! Just click on the settings menu to the right of someone's profile, and then select mute. Easy peasy.
