Would you block me just because I said you were stuck in the 1980s?

One guy on here (I won't mention any names but he's a character in "Only Fools And Horses") blocked me for saying that. What was so offensive about it?

Ok then... I am going to defend him.. I like him.. I believe he is much misunderstood clearly. I also note that many of those here who aren't fans of his are people I have witnessed on here having issues with him... so... kinda, they would say that wouldn't they. I like him. I think he is cool, genuine, honest, (which can be pretty rare qualities on here) it's just not everyone shares the same sense of fun as he does

@MadisonBilly well I can't speak for him of course, but we know that some people block more readily than others... some people prefer not to get into arguments or banter...
I will say, ahem, in the spirit of honesty.. that you do erm, ahem, have a bit of a reputation yourself.. so.....

@MadisonBilly I hear what you say... I am just wondering though... this idea that people can believe we are someone we aren't, that we can get a reputation without deserving it, or doing anything bad... it happens, and maybe the same happened to our friend we are discussing here? Just an idea... anyway, who knows why he blocked you but I don't feel he is all that bad a guy at heart.

@MadisonBilly hmm I think you may have misunderstood me... I was really just saying that people can get a reputation that's undeserved, through no fault of their own.. I had my own hate group on here, a group started to hate me... I didn't do anything bad.. things happen, and sometime we have little control over them.. What I am saying is, I don't believe this guy is a bad guy, I don't believe you are either, I also am saying that if you got a rep for something you didn't do.... then maybe he did, and maybe he has encountered too many people that caused him a lot of pain, worry or just crap he didn't want to deal with.. I say... forgive him.... you had a difference of opinion, it happens - he clearly didn't feel like dealing with it, or maybe he couldn't deal with it... so he left.. Try not to see being blocked as a really bad thing.. people vary in the itchiness of their block trigger... I almost never block anyone, but have probably been blocked a zillion times.. It doesn't worry me, I try not to think badly of them...
LOL and as for Manchester.... I come from southern softie land, I might melt if I even stepped foot in Manchester? Or maybe Manchester has a rep it doesn't deserve either :P
