To block or not to block [I Had Lego Blocks]

I’ve never blocked anyone before. I don’t like the idea of shutting out people or closing off opposing points of view, but I am wondering if it would make my experience here a little more enjoyable. I dislike some of the negative posts that offer no redeeming qualities.
Your thoughts, pros and cons of blocking?

{@ghostbehindthebooks] i think .freedom of speech is a wonderful thing and i am glad to see when you here things that you do not like or agree . you do get get negative and unimportant questions and views i do not block anyone for that just those that are abusive

@smiler2012 Yes, for the most part I enjoy hearing views and opinions on matters from all over the spectrum. I guess for me, I struggle with the conflict I see on here, the cruel or hostile remarks people make to each other

@Ghostinthemachine yes agree the admin seem do little about it except make an example of somebody time to time .if you form an opinion which you are perfectly entitled to do. that should be respected whether they agree or not then become verbally abusive

@smiler2012 excellent points. I think people can become aggressive or cruel when they get frustrated or can no longer find the words to express themselves appropriately
