I Hate Blocking Anyone But

I almost never block anyone.. even if they block me... I don't see the need, but I am wondering if it's really a blessing in disguise when they block me as it does save me having to see their nonsense....
A funny thing happened to me yesterday... I had a Trump supporter contact me, telling me s/he liked Trump.. well fair enough, everyone's entitled to their beliefs, no matter how deranged they are :P But then s/he proceeded to tell me that Trump will be re-elected because his popularity increases every day.. OK now that I have to challenge as it's not factually true and I cannot bear to leave the poor mite in ignorance, the educator in me has to at least try to provide facts in the hope they may learn.. I pointed out that factually Trump is probably one of the least popular, and is only popular with Republicans... I don't think that was the answer s/he wanted as s/he then made an ill-tempered comment and blocked me.. hmm must have been worried I might send some more facts his/her way :P

I block rabid Trump supporters because the kindest thing that I believe about them is that they’re ignorant and I don’t want them reaching out to me. Luckily for me, they block me just as often.

@Adaydreambeliever Omg ha! I feel these are people you don't bother trying to discuss the color of orange juice with!

@Adaydreambeliever Nothing wrong with that. That is the main goal!

Was it AMERICA1ST?! 😯He blocked me too. I also got blocked for asking some guy not to make nasty comments on my music thread, he called me a humorless split personality something something?!👎🏼 I had a REALLY crappy day here with people the last few days. I've met more babies when you disagree with them here on SW than I have in real life?!🙄

@bijouxbroussard I was wondering how many people have had trouble with him?! 😕Mine started when he called Hispanics "beaners." I told him they are PEOPLE and he came all undone....👎🏼
@Peaches In 2016 I reminded "America" of all of the awful things Trump's said and done to black people over the decades and advised him to try and show some real pride, not just be a KKK's stooge. He blocked me so fast he probably broke his keyboard doing it.

I get amazed by those who block me. Usually with no explanation. Some woman messaged me and when I returned the massage I didn't specifically say hello, or something. She said in was rude and before I could apologize, I was blocked!

@Peaches it is hard to always avoid it. I know SW is just fantasy.

@samueltyler2 That's a real shame.. people take friendship and connections too casually at times.. they forget we are real people

Sort of like how *45 himself calls any news he doesn’t like “fake news.”

Just another day on SW.

@LyricalOne Yep true enough.. SW a land of many wonders.. some good and some just loopy :P
His support even amongst republicans is dropping. It’s only the hardcore “no matter what he does even if it’s the most vile things in the world I’m still going to support him” crowd that hasn’t really lost support of him.

I don't block many but I've been blocked by loads for commenting on politics.

Blocking and muting are very handy, and yes them blocking you is a blessing in disguise, if I see someone continually express an opinion I am not in favor of, even if I have not conversed with them, I will at least mute them
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
@RoxClymer lol spoilsport but yes, it would certainly save you having to waste time dealing with them

@nudydudette best news I have heard all day.. I would be invigorated and rejuvenated to learn that Trump supporters are coming to their senses.. Trump is no republican

Oh, people are people. Some tend to withdraw away if the scenario doesn't suit them well. I refrain from blocking too because we are all entitled with our own opinions.

Just mute them
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
@MrBrownstone lol I couldn't possibly!! I would always want them to feel free to rant as much as their little hearts need.
