Abortion: : Blocking

@Mamapolo2016 Best answer

@Mamapolo2016 I decided awhile ago that SW is not always the best place to learn from those who disagree with me.

I have friends (offline) who are more liberal and who are more conservative than I am. And I trust respectable conservative news sources like the WSJ to challenge me a lot more than I trust the "news items" that many post here.

I find that some people here, across the political spectrum, are primarily committed to remaining angry.

But I don't block people. Instead, I set my feed to "friends only" for awhile, and then I reset it and find out what I've been missing!

@DrWatson I agree about the anger trajectory! ☹️

@Mamapolo2016 Exactly. They get a warning and then if they continue after that, they will get blocked.

@LadyGrace In my experience, a warning accelerates to where I don't want to go. I usually don't bother.

@Mamapolo2016 For me, it depends on how rude their comment was. If it was really bad then they're blocked right away. I don't put up with that. Then as soon as you block them, they go crying to SW, "She blocked me! She blocked me!", like a baby. Haha You darn right, I'm going to block them. It's clear they had come to my post, with the intent to get smart with me or talk filthy. I don't like liars, either. No one [i]has[/i] to understand. Some just want somebody to talk about, but they conveniently leave out the part where they started it and were real snotty, loud, and rude. That's when they're history.

@LadyGrace Favorite family story: Two of my brothers, 2 years apart, got into a fight. My dad asked about the cause. The younger one, 7, said, "Dad, it all started when he hit me back!"

@Mamapolo2016 That's funny! Very cute.

@LadyGrace I'm not crying. I just assume that when people ask a question or make comments that they want to debate. I always try to explain why I see things the way I do. If they don't want everyones opinion they need to say only pro choice respond or ignore the ones they don't like

I realize that people are passionate one way or another. I truly want to know why people feel the way they do. The mature way to handle it is to say " I see your point. I but I disagree. I'm not going to change my stance. Our conversation is over "

@Mamapolo2016 Love your reply.!!!! Perfectly said
