Would you block someone just because you deleted their reply after they said they didn't want to carry on with the comments?

I wasn't expecting that.

Somebody's taken the time to answer you and then you delete their comment using the excuse they don't want to continue the conversation. But you're censoring what they did write, now anybody who views that conversation won't be able to follow it. I'm pretty sure you won't acknowledge a problem with that but it's the foundation of the Big Brother society in 1984.

@GeniUs If that person didn't want to carry on with the thread, fair enough. What was the point of keeping it?
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@KarenKC For other people to be able to read and they may have been able to see why they didn't want to carry on the discussion. You may be here for people to only read what you have to say but that doesn't engage anybody else unless you have the secrets of the universe to share.

@GeniUs When other people see things like that they tend to make excuses for trolls. I joined this site a few years ago as an anti-troll.

No. When people read things like that they can see both sides of the argument.

It's not needed. A person can see a troll, they don't engage in discussion or argument but they do do things like deleting other people's words.
If you genuinely see yourself as a troll slayer, you have become the thing you claim to fight.

@GeniUs It all started when I questioned a post which used the wrong word. What "other side" is there to see?

@KarenKC
You were discussing something and you've halted the discussion to point out a grammar mistake, after you did that the other person decided they were done with you, ok that's their prerogative just let it go. But 'cleaning up' the thread afterwards is unnecessary and looks like you're hiding something. So the other person whoever it was decides they're not going to interact with you again and blocks you again their prerogative.
And now you have started a thread complaining about being blocked, get used to it it happens for no reason whatsoever but I'm going to go ahead and say the person who blocked you had good reason.

@GeniUs If people didn't post such nonsense to begin with, none of this would happen. I have nothing whatsoever to hide.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@KarenKC Yes, it's nonsense for people to halt a discussion on an internet forum for grammar and it turns people away.

@GeniUs That is not what I meant and you know it. Why is everyone trolling me over this? If people wouldn't post meaningless, incomprehensible rubbish then I wouldn't comment on it because it wouldn't be there for me to comment on. That's logical.

@KarenKC Mate, I've just looked at the posts you've started and apart from the music videos it's just you complaining about other people's grammar and other tedious issues. You told me you were here to stop trolls but the way you are approaching it; one sided stories; deleting comments; etc, etc. These are the actions of somebody trolling the whole message board maybe that's why it looks like you are being trolled.
BTW did you have a job where you were never questioned because you seemed surprised that anybody would be audacious enough to say anything to you you don't like. I've seen this behaviour most noticeably in civil servants so that'd be my guess.
