This is my document:
{ title:\"Happy thanksgiving\", body: \"come over for dinner\", blocked:[ {user:333, name:\'john\'}, {user:99
You can use $in or $nin for "not in"
Example ...
> db.people.find({ crowd : { $nin: ["cool"] }});
I put a bunch more examples here: http://learnmongo.com/posts/being-part-of-the-in-crowd/
