Has your outlook on SW changed? If so, in what way?

For me, it's this knee-jerk blocking spree. Some people here use it as a substitute for resolving conflict. And sadly, that's probably why they have so much time available to be here.

I used to give people the benefit of the doubt, that perhaps something I said or did angered them temporarily. That's because I'm a (usually) emotionally mature person. However, I've found this policy to be in vain and out of step with the fact that both my time and friendship have value. Someone who blocks with a hair-trigger has poor impulse control and I don't need a friend like that.

So, a block from someone gets a block from me--no exceptions.

What has changed in the way you look at SW?

I only block when people are consistently abusive or clearly trolling.
I quite like the idea of their commentary being available for all to see because it exposes their thinking and behaviour.
However I'm starting to despair at the 20-30 age range since many seem to be opinionated on certain issues but with no capability to explain where they get that opinion from nor why they keep it.
