Block, Block, Block
Everyone seems to going block crazy. I can somewhat understand conservatives blocking liberals and vice versa, meat eaters blocking vegans and vice versa, animal rights advocates blocking hunters and vice versa. If you only want to converse with people in your own clique, that is your right.
Now I’m seeing people block other people merely because they have friends that they don’t like.
Just because someone is a friend of someone I don’t like doesn’t make them my enemy and just because someone is a friend of someone I like doesn’t make them a friend. Let’s grow up.
I belong to no clique and I choose my friends based on how they interact on the blogs I read. Yeah, some of them may call you an idiot from time to time and may not be as nice as you would wish. I have blocked no one, yet.
Butt heads, buttheads, blog dicks, blogheads, blockheads, where are blokes’ heads?
That’s funny blocking other people because someone else doesn’t like them.
*2 Kudos*
I am sorry, John…. I am one of those who has you blocked. A friend of yours brought out the worst in me… I do not know if you know anything about alcoholism or addiction, but for someone like me it is very very easy to recognize. In others, as well as myself. I think you are predominantly a good man. I am going to unblock you. You are welcome in my house, should you ever choose to visit.
I haven’t felt a need to ever block anybody and I probably never will. There’s always a first time for anything, though.
Thank you for this post, I agree, I do not believe in blocking ppl either.
On myspace I had a whole slew of people blocked. That was only to keep them from posting the same thing 45 times in one of my blogs. I haven’t blocked anybody her as of yet. Though a couple people that I know of have me blocked. The funny thing about that is, the person that I really wish would block me won’t do it. Of course that won’t happen because then who would comment on his blogs?
😉
I think there has to be a good reason to block someone, and even then it does not have to be permanent. To block people just because they have a friend you don’t like is silly
Aw, let’em block. The only blocking I don’t like is cock blocking.
“Just because someone is a friend of someone I don’t like doesn’t make them my enemy and just because someone is a friend of someone I like doesn’t make them a friend”. Let’s grow up.
Agreed AOA….well to a point anyways….I’ll not be friends with all,as I am sure everyone will not.
D.
I had to do a bit of blocking lately. I think it’s a valuable option. Especially when someone starts obsessing over you 24/7. Creepy stuff.
I tried blocking one person one time several years ago and it didn’t work. I got chased around on other peoples blogs as the new “battlefield” till I stopped commenting and then he went after my pals. I plan to stand and fight if it ever happens again.
I am not into blocking much, but I can hit the delete button real well….if something that I don’t really like comes through, or something disrespectful…I delete that item, but not actually block the person….I had a guy on myspace that was like someone else mentioned here…it got to the “stalking on-line” stage and I had to delete and block….however differences of opinion and such is a ittle much, because you can’t agree on everything…I hate it when my in person friends pout, that’s why I like Friendburst and FB…I hope my on-line friends don’t pout per say…that takes the fun out of it all….I was wondering exactly what cock block means also :O)
Oh wait! Does writers block count? :entertained:
I think I’ve only blocked two people here so far, and that was for spam.
I don’t care if somebody disagrees with me, unless they’re an idiot about it. Then I just ignore them.
I don’t even mind trolls that much. Sometimes they’re kinda funny. If they’re just mean I might block them, but so far I haven’t had much of that here.
I have only blocked one person ever and that was on myspace and because well he was creeping me out in bad way. I have never deleted a blog comment. I did delete comments on my profile for a while because they were just toooooo much, but then I just got rid of the comment block thingy. When it comes to who I friend…I choose. Like Josie, I do know how to hit the delete button and if someone is just out to be nasty for no good reason then they might go, but then if they are up to no good then they really don’t care if they are my friend or not.
I haven’t blocked anybody the whole time I have been here.
I have had 2 people block me for STUPID reasons though.
Instead of debating, they throw in the towel.
Of anybody in here, I could only see Martha blocking me in the past. I was relentless in my debates with her. (always going back for more…lol)
I don’t get blocking. I reckon I’ve never had cause.
Also, all these people whining about what others put on their profile page, graphics and whatnot.
Am I the only one that doesn’t sit around looking at my own damn page?! Who cares?
Now, I can definitely relate to this blog….with out a doubt…
At last count, I have 6 people blocked. Almost always because of their “language”, which I find extremely ugly, regardless of the subject at hand. It doesn’t really do any good, because I still have to see and read (unless I squint, and I’m getting REALLY good at squinting) their vitriolic language as I scroll down the stream. I doubt that any of them are interested enough in me to even know that I have them blocked.
But, you know? Sometimes you just want to stick out your tongue and thumb your nose.
