Muting mainly but taking a break works well too.

@Nimbus: Thanks for the info!

Nimbus · M

@justmerae: I do.
I give it consideration for a few days in fact :)
It's not done lightly and I have lost several long term 'friends' from EP in doing so but I believe I am justified.

Peaches · F

@Nimbus: The muting thing never worked for me...they'd STILL be there?! 😠

JerseyGal · 51-55, F

[c=#800055] I just pay no attention to them. If someone knows they gets on your nerves,
they are going to try even harder to get to you. No reason to block, debate or insult. ☺ [/c]

@Wingz1969: That's the way I do it. :)

Magenta · F

@Wingz1969: Nice. Totally agree. And some try to pick fights.

Ignore them until they disappear from Earth

Nat15 · F

@Dewms: lol So if you don't think about them they go out of existence like POOF? :)

Serenitree · F

If their questions/stories drive me to primal screaming, I mute them. If everything they do is nonsensical or aimed at being annoying, I ignore. If they are consistently rude, bigoted, hateful, judgemental, i see no point in letting myself be aggravated. I block them.

Nat15 · F

That's a good system! @Serenitree:

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M

I just imagine i'm stood beside them with 4 feet of 2x4.
the resulting sound in my head, coupled with the image of a moron sent flying normally does the trick

Nat15 · F

@Picklebobble2: lol No violence. Even imaginary. :P

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M

@Nat14: .....🙄spoilsport.

Nat15 · F

@Picklebobble2: lol :)

I actually just ignore them. It works for me.
I have previously muted people who irritate me consistently.

@Nat14: Yeah I don't get the whole blocking thing with the slightest irritation.

Nat15 · F

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: I don't either but I don't post a lot of controversial stuff. Maybe if I did I might need to block. But for now I'm a happy ignorer. :P lol

SW-User

@Nat14: 👍

sighmeupforthat · 46-50, M

oh, let me guess.. most of us gnomes get on YOUR nerves?

bows down.. oh please, please don't block us! we are NOT worthy of your exquisite formalities.

Nat15 · F

@sighmeupforthat: Not sure how you get that anyone is on my nerves right now. The question came up cuz I was discussing this with another SWeep. Sorry you feel that way.

SW-User

🔪 or 🔫

Nat15 · F

@theowl: lol No violence please! :P

DragonFruit · 61-69, M

I ignore them to the extent I can….if they are insulting or abusive to me, I block them (but I’ve only blocked a few of them).

Nat15 · F

Yeah. I've never blocked anyone tho I've thought about it a few times. @Dragon56:

SW-User

If they ruin a post or are rude I block them. The others I mute or ignore.

Nat15 · F

@Peekaboo: how do they ruin a post?

SW-User

@Nat14: By sarcasm and accusation or completely changing the topic to what they want.

Nat15 · F

@Peekaboo: ok. That makes sense. :)

GlassDog · 41-45, M

There are only two of them. I just ignore them largely.

Nat15 · F

@GlassDog: I'm a pretty good ignorer too lol

GlassDog · 41-45, M

@Nat14: Haha! I bet they don't even know they get on our nerves!

Nat15 · F

Probably not! @GlassDog:

Peaches · F

I ignore them unless they are totally rude idiots, then I [b]block.👍🏻😒[/b]

Nat15 · F

@Peaches: Sounds lie a solid plan!

Peaches · F

@Nat14: Ya gotta take care of #1 first or you're no good to anyone else.😉

Nat15 · F

@Peaches: Yes ma'am. ;)

@Nat14: you should make one 😂

Nat15 · F

@Nunlover: Maybe I will! :P

NunIover

@Nat14: now I'd pay to see that 😂

SW-User

I try to log off when it gets too bad.

Nat15 · F

@justmerae: So you let them run you off? :(

SW-User

@Nat14: No, but if I am getting pissed off...I have the sense to go cool down some

Nat15 · F

@justmerae: Ok. That makes sense. :)

SW-User

Block them or annoy them enough to make them block me first xD

Nat15 · F

@QueenOfQuirk: lol So you fight fire with fire. :)

StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M

I try to ignore. Grrrrrrrr.

Nat15 · F

@StevetheSleeve: That's what I usually do

StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M

@Nat14: I don't want to block people so I just try to avoid looking. Noooooo. Lol

SW-User

I block them. I just blocked two just this morning.

Nat15 · F

@TearDropsOfLove: easy peasy. :)

GivetheDevilHerDue · F

Block, out of sight out of mind!

Nat15 · F

@GivetheDevilHerDue: Makes it easy!

Myself11 · 61-69, M

Block them don't need there crap

JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F

Depends on how bad.

Some i troll back
Some i just ignore
Some i block

Nat15 · F

@JaggedLittlePill: I think the answers are going to be a combination like this.

Some people just don't leave you a choice do they?

JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F

@Nat14: I am more tolerant of some things above others. One post that has racist tone and you are blocked. ..make a sexist post and I will debate your tush and hand it to you on a plate...etc.. ;)...of course..I just have a lot to say and no filter so I am not a good specimen for comparison.

Nat15 · F

@JaggedLittlePill: lol your non filtered posts are needed!!! :)

FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M

There are no SWeeps that get on my nerves. There are only a few who's posts I find slightly annoying but I just ignore those.

Nat15 · F

You're easy going then@FeetAreFantastic:

SW-User

I tend to just mute anyone who annoys me. That's not always the case though.
