I blocked someone today. Not because they were rude to me - they probably don't even know I exist. It was weird. I blocked them because they were spruiking about how great Trump was. Normally, I read some of the twaddle they come up with just to keep up to date with their idiocy, but I think I've reached my limit..... I'm surprised by my own lack of acceptance of a different point of view. I think it's because I can't conceive of a time when a Trump supporter could have anything remotely credible to say. How judgemental I feel right now.
I blocked 2 trumplodytes after deciding early on we were never going to have civil debates/discussions. It would be one thing if they could present a cogent argument for any of their positions, but when the best they can do is fall back on fake news & crooked Hilary, I'm better off discussing sports with the cat. I mean, pfft, that'd never work! I have no idea what's going on in the sports world!
Don't feel bad. Their making excuses for a deplorable person saying and doing deplorable things is deplorable in itself. There is no need for you to endure their offensiveness.
I know what you mean, though I've never blocked anyone. On a side note: "spruiking?"
@Philosopearl I wonder where the word came from?
@Philosopearl What is the proper pronunciation of 'spruiker' ?
