Your stance on blocking people is ..... what?

Q&A Home   >  Community   >  EP

I'm all for it. I don't want to spend my free time with half wits.

In fact I've just blocked someone minutes ago!

I'm also never upset when people block me. Good luck to you, is what I say, we didn't get on, and happily, we don't have to.

    LOL ! I block people who are abusive and rude, generally. But I don't consider someone rude just because they disagree with me, as long as they're civil about it.

    In nearly 6 years, I've blocked sixteen people. It really takes a lot for me to block.

    All day long I'm responsible for people learning, in the evening I don't want to teach anyone anything but equally I don't want anyone to try and teach me - especially if they're a ****. That's why I thin 'em out.

    Only a couple of times, and it basically has to be a deal where someone is being completely belligerent and abusive just for the sake of it. I didn't used to even block those who blocked me first until I had a couple of situations where someone flamed me on my whiteboard and I couldn't even respond to it. After that, I just return the block to keep it simple.

    Harassment; not the needy "lovesick although I've only known you 5 mins" kind, but the racial slurs and threats kind, people here strictly for sex and married guys: "Sorry, I cant understand why your wife doesn't love you anymore..no I don't want to cyber".

    Morons, I just walk on because I know there's no way they're going to listen to reason anyway, so forget 'em.

    That'll be "ridiculous" - and why cowardly? How could it possibly be considered "brave" to tolerate the nonsense of someone you don't like on the internet? I like blocking because this isn't the real world, in the real world you have to put up with bigots and morons and in EP you don't have to - you block them. Easy.
