I Have Been ' Blocked '

Someone blocked me just for answering their question! Their question was "Is Oregon overrun with Mexicans?" Since I live in Oregon, I answered. I said in my answer that although there is a large Mexican population in Oregon, the state isn't overrun with them at all. But I noticed he deleted my answer and when I asked why and stated that I was just trying to offer him some insight since I live in Oregon. He told me he can't rely on my answer because I'm young and proceeded to belittle me for my age! All I did was give him an answer and it wasn't just a matter of personal opinion, it's a fact! There is a large Mexican population here but it's still a minority. He can look it up himself! But he went ahead and blocked me before I could even reply. I may be young but at least I'm not so immature that I can't admit when I'm wrong and will just silence the truth to avoid being proven wrong.

Here's the question I'm referring to:

Funny how he posted it in the "seeking advice" category.

Nice! That's happened to me on several occasions too. Mainly from people much older than me, even if the facts were on my side. Some of these older guys really don't like being proven wrong by someone much younger than they are. It reminds them too much that they're just batty old kooks off their rocker.
