@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!

@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 has 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 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 "
