In 3 years I have 16 people blocked. Most I do not remember why. Would you unblock them if you were me?

I KNOW I can "do what I wish". I am asking what YOU would do.

I've unblocked everyone I blocked and never regretted it. But it took sometime for our relationships to smoothen a bit and I was embarrassed in the beginning. Try it..

You blocked them for your own reasons, if those reasons are still the same, then I recommend keeping them blocked.
@Umile I don't remember the reason.

@NoThanksLeon You could try. But if he was too nasty might still be nasty. You know ?

If I block some there are in there for life...I ain't Jesus and I ain't got alzheimer's😒

I blocked and then unblocked someone on SW today, so I’m ambivalent.

Her response to something I wrote was snarky. I responded, her response was both insulting and snarky. But that’s the nature of SW.

@NoThanksLeon Yes, gender didn’t factor into the decision….shrug.

After I blocked her, I was thinking about a coworker I once had. He used to throw these tantrums…fly into a rage….yell… throw things. The first time it was directed at me, my first instinct was to rage right back at him. But I took a step back….thought about it…and came up with a different tactic. Every time he raged I would be cheerful, calmly reasonable, or simply look at him and show absolutely no reaction…let him exhaust himself…. He didn’t know what to do…it drove him crazy. I got far more satisfaction from that than I would have from raging back at him. Truth be told, I used to enjoy his frustration and consternation.
@blackarcher256 I asked because I, myself, have been guilty in the past of giving females special consideration, especially 'certain' females. No more. 👍🏾

@NoThanksLeon Back in the day I probably would have been guilty of the same thing. But life has taught me the harsh reality….a beautiful exterior, can hide an ugly, evil duplicitous interior. Although that truth is not gender specific, and is not meant, to be. My most recent affirming experiences were with women.

I unblocked everyone. It took a long time.
Then I reblocked a bunch of them.

I'd unblock them if your list is getting full, because then you'll only be reblocking the actives.
It's good housekeeping.
In 10+ years between sw & ep ive had less than 20 people blocked, if someone is on my block list, there is no getting off.

I don’t really know as I don’t block. Haven’t done or needed to in a fair few years now.

@NoThanksLeon i am the same i have blocked say half a dozen or so nowhere that long i think but you must of had a good reason at the time too do so. for whatever reason i am sure you are not a vindictive person and would not do it without provocation

I currently have six accounts blocked, but four of them are the same person.
I don't unblock... unless it's someone that I blocked because I need a break from them.
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
I never blocked anyone in the first place, so I'd have no one to unblock.
Yeah because most of the time I probably over reacted.

Been there...
I would give it a bit, they need to be held accountable
Cassieeeee · 31-35, F
I don't even look at my blocked list^^

Go one step more - friend them, too.

It's not often that I block someone (don't think I've ever blocked anyone here yet), so if I do, it was well deserved and even if I don't remember the reason, there was very likely a good one. So for me, it would be no.
Only if I needed blocks but that's up to you.
@NaughtyPickle Yet you reply. 🤣

If you don't remember why then yes no reason not to unblock.

@Darksideinthenight2 Just curious. From where do you get your "facts"?

I have only unblocked those to make room, then reblocked when necessary
