About 1 a week....
I must be getting cranky in my old age.. I am now blocking members all the time. Or maybe it is that I read each submission carefully and instead of replying , I say "fuck you" under my breath and go for the Block button.

I wonder how many times I have been blocked?

I don't know how many times I've been blocked and I don't care. I am not to everyone's taste, nor is everyone to mine. I've figured out that not everyone has to like me, and if what I say disturbs someone's peace they need to do what they need to do. And I also do what I need to do to preserve my own peace. The only reason I might need to know if someone has blocked me is I have several groups and I need to see what is posted in my group. However most folks who block me don't wanna be in my groups either, so it is all cool. I try to live and let live.

What a coincidence, I think I get blocked by a member a week!

We should form a club.

You could block everyone in one fell swoop just by resigning.

Oops, I suppose I’m now blocked. I’ll be watching to see if your post disappears. 😟

Don't count on it.

I block more liberally than most everybody except maybe CaroleKay. I have been up to 170. It is down to 164 because some have left. I have blocked less than 25 women. If someone continually bashes been, women, or the LGBT community, they are gone. If they are racist, they are gone. If they are over the top gun nuts, they are gone. If they support trump, they are gone. If in my judgment (I realize this is subjective) they are terminally stupid, they are gone. It also gets rid of the clutter. I have been blocked quite a bit. I wish there was a way to get that total. It would also be interesting to know who blocks us.

At one point there was a group that tried to catalog those numbers, but it got shut down by the cabal that became the watchers group, way back when that group had power.

@MarkiusMahamius I missed that. I don't see why we can't see who has blocked us. There are some I know of, but I am sure I don't know all of them.

@Sticks48 it was well over a year ago

@Hastur If you lived in a town of 80,000 or however many folks are here, I will bet you would find a lot more than 164 people you don't care for. Like I said it cuts down the clutter. I would wake up to over 70 alerts, and now it averages around 25 alerts when I wake up.

Sounds like you’re enjoying yourself! How do you find out if you’ve been blocked anyway?

@ProudMerrie Thanks.

@ProudMerrie I know the feeling. Also, sometimes you get blocked and haven't a clue as to why.

When you see replies with missing sections, like this. πŸ™‚

@1of5 okay....can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like that here.

@Marionville well then youre missing the full agnostic.com experience!
