Well. Personally, no. People usually have a good reason for blocking someone and for me it's if the material is offensive. Also when a person tells someone their post is offensive THAT person will come back with unnecessary insults and lodge a personal attack. I USED to note an offensive posting and move on and then the responses came back with curse words and name calling and that is why I started blocking after posting. The mentality is already made obvious when the writer uses offensive language or avatar in the first place so I should have known the kind of responses I would get. Now I block and go. It's done.

UnidentifiedHobo	Posted Aug 21st, 2009 at 8:39PM I think the option to block members is supposed to help protect us from certain kinds of drama. You don't have to communicate with everyone on the site. You are not obligated to like everone either. Rated: +5Vote for this!

freeed	Posted Aug 21st, 2009 at 9:39PM Full of themselves, if that means SNOB, then yes. I've never blocked anyone, I just don't open messages from people I know will or have been abusive/disrespectful to me. Rated: +2Vote for this!
StarliteRose	Posted Aug 21st, 2009 at 8:12PM Meh, don't take it personally--just like they shouldn't take your answers personally. Look at it this way, I haven't blocked you....and in the end, isn't that what's really important? No need to thank me ;-) Rated: +1Vote for this!

robyn	Posted Aug 21st, 2009 at 8:15PM i don't know. can you tell when you're being blocked? will someone tell me how you know? Rated: +1Vote for this!
alicia87	Posted Aug 21st, 2009 at 9:41PM I think in some cases it is called for. If someone is being harassed, blocking is needed. I think they are a**hats if they send you a nasty message and block you so you can't reply. That's childish and cowardly. Rated: +1Vote for this!
