Do you think blocking is childish?

Nope ...I wish I could block in real life too

Blocking someone simply because they disagree with you is childish, in my opinion, but there are non-childish reasons for blocking someone. Harassment, sending out unsolicited "adult" content, and extreme or persistent rudeness are all reasons for blocking someone that are not childish.

no you dont have to deal with somebody if you dont want to if somebody is trying to get on your nerves dont give them the time of day
I don't think it really matters. At least it doesn't to me. Some people are more difficult to get along with than others are. Those people don't bother me though. I almost always block people that don't contribute.

Hell, no. The quality of the feed drastically improves!

Childish? No. Effective? Hell yes.

@Fernie I try to be polite on the internet as reflect in personal, I am here to mostly entertain people and possibly help them through tough times...If I follow them and they follow me I DM them just to ask like I have been doing on twitter...Why follow if they do not want to play?

DragonlingLucifer..I wish more people behaved the way you do. Not gonna happen. I really think that if we choose to be on the internet, it's pointless to worry about or ask why people do what we see as odd or abnormal. This particular site has many unpleasant people who often overshadow the people who are here for the reasons you are. We can't escape it. Why ask why? Unless they are bothering us...why care? Having the power to block unpleasant people is very necessary. In real life we could walk away from the unpleasantness...here, blocking IS walking.
Fernie · F
absolutely not...unless someone blocks simply because someone disagreed with them...that happens a lot
no. it makes life on SW easier.

IDK, how do you feel about the fact that you have me blocked from adding you?

Not at all

Some say it's the cowards way out but it's the more sensible way if you ask me.

Yes, and it seems like people are block-crazy here. I don't have anyone blocked.

no people block me for no reason and i dont even talk these people
No i don't. I wouldn't let assholes in my home, this is the same thing. I just keep the assholes out of my space.

It is immature, people need to learn to talk things out...But they are humans, the most intolerant species on earth.

@Fernie I understand there are perverts but from all the people who blocked me on social media some where just immature. I just say "would you like to RP with me?" (I do not do lewd) and instead of saying "no thanks" they just block...

DragonlingLucifer..so. it's personal for you. "all the people who blocked me" of course some are immature. The internet is a microcosm of the real world. Every kind of mindset is here...all concentrated behind a screen.If someone I don't know messages me with some ridiculous remark, invitation to PM them,etc., I WILL block them because that behavior is creepy...it's the behaviors that many of us block. Instantly.

DragonlingLucifer...that is a lovely thought but this is the internet...blocking is armor/defense against the angry, nasty, insulting pervs and trolls. Different people block for different reasons.
