I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

That horrible block button allows all kind of weirdos to create a parallel world here in what they can puke all their non sense without being accountable for it and just be surrounded by their private applause cattle. Not really a healthy environment but I'm almost sure I see it completely wrong of course, those poor creatures need their special safe space, far away from the cruel real world. 🙄
Well, look at it [b]this[/b] way:
If you think they’re posting nonsense, when they block you it’s [b]less[/b] nonsense you have to read. I don’t [b]want[/b] to interact with those who would block me.😒
@kingkyri I’ve never blocked anyone for not saying good morning or replying fast enough. I know people have lives outside this site. I figure they’ll reply when they have a chance, and they do. So I don’t understand folks who are that needy or clingy.

@kingkyri Sadly, I do.

You make a good point. That’s why I use “block” very sparingly. As horrifying as some people can be - I need to know they exist, and when I feel brave enough, I need to call them on their bullshit. Or at least, say, “I disagree,” so that they know they haven’t convinced everyone, and cannot take over the world with their bullshit.

It can be stressful some days. But in the long run, living in a bubble isn’t the safer option.

Block button isn't only problem here. I bet people spread their BS through private messages even more.

I wish there was a block button in real life to avoid jerks, though.

@kingkyri But then law uses another button to block you called 'jail' 😄

@kingkyri but when you block someone there's the danger of that person blocking you at the same time, so no more complications
Well at least you get to experience highschool drama again thanks to that button. Now for some odd reason my mind is comparing the block button with religion, both do more harm than good.

@kingkyri no need to. I just ignore any post that I don't want to respond to. Simple!

@kingkyri 😘
I’m grateful for the block button. I don’t think I use it frivolously. Believe it or not, I’m not here to fight with people, call names or be called names. And I don’t have to be reminded that awful people exist. I’ve encountered enough of them [b]offline[/b] for much of my life, so I’m unlikely to ever forget.

Just ignore them. Screw the block button. 🙂

I think you have a good point there. I have never blocked anyone.
