Why some SW users are so worried about the block option?

I've never blocked anyone I just avoid them .. Some people just block becuaee they had an argument

They're too sensitive for the internet, if they feel so "harassed" here who's forcing them to stay on the damn site?

@SW-User site of my point!
SW-User
I asked a friend to return once after she left. No one forces them, but they should be able to enjoy the site too without someone else giving them grief over it. @SW-User

@SW-User There's literally no such thing as "too sensitive for the internet". The blocking option is for safety and feeling comfortable, you should feel safe and comfortable everywhere including the internet.

@SW-User i know this site has a lot of problems the kinds of sick people that are on it. but no one should have to deal with someone who is constantly harassing them or stalking them. the block feature is about safety yet so many just use it if they get into some argument or if they just see something they disagree with.

I believe if they start to leave the website, the owner will make it work again

If someone is legit being cyberstalked and harassed, they can always complain to the police.
I do agree with that reason to use the block option, but most people here block each other because "wah, your opinion is not the same as mine!!"

I agree .. Because even for messages you can not send many message to the same person if they don't reply back.. So it still like I block you because we don't agree..
SW-User
@SW-User yeah, but it's good when those types block anyway. Who wants o bother with them?
