What is it with all the blocking?

Apparently "some people" can't handle varying view points on a subject.
To me this only seems to happen to me from the lefty snowflakes, does anyone get blocked by the conservative types on here?

To say the truth I don't understand all this blocking. Not because of politically reasons. Why can't people respect each others opinion?
Yes, I have blocked a few political "opponents." But not because of their political views but because they were rude, offending and insulting to me.
The other site is this: I also have "political opponents" as a friends here.
Just saying that politics is NO reason for me to block somebody.
