Do you really care if another member blocks you?
I have too much real life stuff going on to care that I've been blocked by random internet fuck #238.
Fucking perfect response!!!!
I'm not concerned with anyone blocking me. To each her/his own I say.
Which is why I have blocked everyone that exhibits traits of orangeism, racism, GOPism, genderism, misogynism and just general stupidism!
^^^^^^
I don't care. On Fitness Singles, I get notified when a man views my profile.
Recently when I clicked on the profile of man who had viewed me, he had blocked me. I figure he's a Trumpster who was offended by this sentence in my profile:
"If you are a Trump supporter, hit the back button NOW."
No loss to me.
If seeing my posts or comments bothers somebody, they should block me. That's what the feature is for!
Yep!
I block freely and I've been blocked by many.
It's a form of thinning the herd to find people with whom you wish to interact.
On other social media sites, you add the people you want.
Here, you subtract the people you don't want.
Basically, it's just math.
I'm just surprised at how easy it is to get blocked... It seems that all you have to do is disagree with someone, and next thing they're blocking you. I don't really lose sleep over it, but I wonder if we're becoming so damn sensitive that we're no longer able to carry on civil discourse in the public square. Which basically means we're going tribal again, and before you know it we'll be attacking our own over the silliest things.
I actually prefer it, sorts out the riffraff right from the start and I don't have to listen to them pissing and moaning because they have taken some personal offense to something I have posted, go get stuffed is what I think.
I noticed that there are a few owl people that responded to this post already, owls don't give a hoot.
Where's the "I don't give a flying fuck motherfucker & shove it up your asshole" button. That's my answer.
As individuals, there’s no way we can make everyone happy. Some people will get along with us just great, while others don’t. I will delightfully accept those who want to be around me. Vice versa, if they don’t like my company we don’t have to communicate.
Nobody from the internet made me who I am, so their absence will not break me.
I'd like to know simply because of human curiousity.
I only know of one instance where I actually know what made someone block me. Normally I'm left going "Hmm?".. which is not my favorite state of being?
Often I figure they did me a favor.
If they're that precious?? Interacting with them might be a PITA.
I could care less if I blocked by a random person. Being blocked someone I have cared about is sometimes hurtful but the way of life. But being blocked from a group without having caused issue irritates me. Moderators should be adult enough to look past their own personal preferences to allow people to interact with others if they are not causing distention with the group.
If they can't take me the way I am, it is no bother to me. The only ones I block are scammers. I take the philosophy that everyone has something to teach. Sometimes I like what is being said and sometimes it gives a bad taste in my brain. It does not mean I don`t like someone because they say things I do not care to hear it just means that subject we did not agree on and the information that was presented is mine to digest.
If it was someone I thought I got along with, or someone I considered reasonable, then I might wonder if it hadn't been a mistake.
This may sound like a really stupid question but I’m asking it anyway. How do you know if someone has blocked you ? Do you get a notification? I have never blocked anyone....if they are rude or argumentative I just stop responding to them. There are so many people here and so many posts it would be quite possible to just ignore people you find irritating without having to resort to blocking I would have thought.
If you scroll down a little bit, I answered the same question posed by
@ladyprof70.
Btw, NOT a "stupid question", and some people will let you ignore them. Others won't and make it necessary to block them, just for the peace and quiet.
@KKGator Thank you, I think maybe I was blocked a while back.
@Marionville Their loss, not yours. You post some good stuff.
Don't let it bother you.
@KKGator Not a worry!
