When someone blocks you for calling them on their shit do you get a deep sense of satisfaction and accomplishment?
Thatβs how it felt tonight when Mr Electric Universe blocked me, I think it gave him something to think about.
I just lost my patience with Powder. It's one thing to have an opinion, but to spew disinformation at every opportunity? I betting he doesn't have anything of merit to say. I'm sure he's merely brainwashed by Fox.
Yea, I've had my run ins with him too.
I get Blocked all the time, often for just a difference of opinion or outlook. Some people get offended easily & don't like being challenged. Very much like theists if their religion is questioned. I find it more amusing than anything & have found that I seldom miss out on anything worth anything. More like getting rid of the chaff.
There shouldnt be an option to block commenters .......
Of course there should be. It cuts way down on the number of alerts l have to wade through filled with a bunch of ignorant shit l don't need to see. It is my favorite feature on the site and the one that consistently works.
@sticks48 i disagree... The flip side to that is that it leaves these dumb shits free to post their lies and in some instances dangerous bullshit without correction... Conservative atheists and some foolish woman on a vegan site come to mind.....
@Redneckliberal Before l started blocking these people l used wake up to over 75 alerts and they kept coming. Now l wake up to 25 press. Much more manageable. Most conservatives are very fixed in their beliefs from a young age until death, so why bother. I don't have the time or the patience.
I don't know if anyone on this site has blocked me, though I have blocked a handful.
I have not had anyone block me that I know of but I did have to block 2 people who as you say did not enjoy the truth or facts and then insisted on trying to get the last word after they had already used abusive terms (saying my opinion was stupid, I was a bitch, etc.).
There was not so much satisfaction but a sense of relief. Conversation should be about exchanging ideas/theories, opinions and the facts. When it involves even small personal attacks the line is crossed and that sort of language does not add to an intelligent discussion.
Oh, Iβll go personal, and yes when I hear stupid Iβll call stupid and I appreciate anyone that does the same for me when Iβm being stupid, something that seldom happens now but history teaches me is still possible.
@Willow_Wisp Thank you for admitting. We all do stupid things (some more than many). It takes a smart person to recognize this and admit it.
@JackPedigo It's the only rational position to take.
The difference between knowledge and ignorance is that knowledge is limited.
I simply cannot be bothered to block the mental defectives that I encounter on this site.
Define 'think'. Ha, ha.
Is Mr Electric Universe capable of thinking?
