I Have Random Thoughts

Someone on here said they wanted to block me, but didn't want to "waste a block."

SW allows you to block 500 people; what kind of person has blocked so many people on here where running out of blocks would be a concern? If you need to block that many people, maybe it's time to delete your account and essentially block everyone.

I wouldn't block you, you have a cute eye..!
A lot of trolls have multiple accounts, unfortunately.

So people now no longer have the right to block poeple that offend them because it offends you ? Get over yourself .

@TexChik When did I say it was my business? It sounds like you don't think I should express an opinion. Kind of a double standard, don't you think? You certainly haven't been shy about expressing [i]your[/i] opinion.

@Lila15 when did I say that? You’re the one dumping on anyone who blocks ...
Lila15 · 22-25, F
@TexChik No, I'm not "dumping on anyone who blocks." I'm saying that if someone is so close to their 500-block limit that they have to assess whether the next person who offends them can be blocked or not, they may not belong on social media.

And no, I'm not saying they should be kicked off, so don't put words in my mouth.

If someone is afraid of riding motorcycles and only goes 5 mph on one, would you say that maybe that person might be happier if they didn't ride a motorcycle? Or is that offensive because it sounds like they're saying all motorcycles should be illegal?

Plenty of people have used that many blocks. They want to tailor the site to their needs which might amount to having a small group of friends and avoiding any negativity from others. Their prerogative.

@LyricalOne OK, that makes sense, but that's not what this particular person was doing.

Well one could always adjust their settings so certain people cannot contact them. I do agree 500 people is alot to block. \but its funny we can block people on here but in the really world we cannot we just stay away from them.

sounds to me like they're a troll, a misanthrope, or both!

That is a very positive way of looking at it

People like that are HERE to say things like that. Its what gives them self esteem. Its sad but true.

@GentleJoe They had sent me an insulting PM after we had a public disagreement, so I blocked them first. They're the second person I've blocked after a year on here.
GentleJoe · 61-69, M
@Lila15 I've never blocked anyone. I just ignore them. They usually run out of steam and go away.
Lila15 · 22-25, F
@GentleJoe This person sent me an insulting PM and immediately blocked me. They then unblocked me, I responded to their PM and blocked and reported them.

I believe that's what's called a baiting tactic.

This person didn't want to block you.

This person wanted your attention and felt the need to passively insult you to get your attention.

Some people pay VIP to get extra blocks.
It's kind of ironic to be on a social site and intolerant of most people.
