I think I hit a new milestone...

...blocked by 13 people in the last 2 weeks, I believe that's a record for me.

Sad to see a few people I thought had a healthy rapport with me, but alas.

I gotta be me. Good riddance to you all. I've blocked you in return so don't come crawling back.

The door is closed.

Thank you. ✊

dang! what r u doing to get all those blocks? lol
@SumKindaMunster it says a lot when you can adjust your positions based off of other points of view, i wouldn't worry too much about people blocking you then, its prob them and not you.

@CookieCrisp Thanks man.

I take some responsibility, I can push people's buttons pretty good, and I probably should learn to be more patient and understanding.
@SumKindaMunster i am sure its tricky on here, like one minute people are talking about corn and then the next are passing political judgements lol, its the wild west sometimes
I gotta be me also. 😁

@SumKindaMunster I was joking. 🙂

But wow, now THAT is nostalgic. "Today's episode is brought to you by the letter "K"

@Punches So was I.

I’m actually bothered by people with thin skin.

Who cares what someone thinks on the net? Does it really destroy your evening if I’m pro choice (e.g.) or anti-gun?

People really need to chill and focus on what makes others interesting. It’s so much healthier.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Adogslife All good points. And perhaps I should not let being blocked bother me so. I was just very shocked at how many and several people I thought were cool with me...

Reminds me of the classic, hammy line of Jack Barrymore from the 1930s movie "Twentieth Century" - "I close the iron door on you!"

You can't really hold people to too high a standard. Yeah it can be annoying when people block but one almost has to expect it.

Discussions on politics and religion never end well.
Sadly though, EVERYthing is politicized nowadays.
It used to be about how your taxes were spent, overseas wars, policies, better schools, more police...

Now it is about politicians hurling childish insults at each other.
Punches · 46-50, F
@SumKindaMunster If I may ask, what was the issue that caused them to block? I understand if you prefer not to say.

It is kind of bull that they would block after having communicated for a few years.

I look at it like this - there's a few on here that I strongly disagree with their political views, BUT I don't block over that because if people block each other, it kind of defeats the purpose of being on a forum.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Punches Politics. It's always Politics here. Otherwise I get along with people.
Punches · 46-50, F
@SumKindaMunster Politics are fun to fight about. I mean, no one's gonna change anyone else's mind either way but it's still fun to argue.

There is only one on my block list and I'm about to remove them. Two weeks long enough
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@HumanEarth I salute you! 🫡

Politics, religion. This is why this kind of talk isn’t welcome in pubs.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Morvoren Talking about politics and sports are to males what shopping and talking about other people's relationships are to women.

It's tough to refrain when you are in the thick of it, much easier when looking at it from a neutral distance.
Morvoren · F
@SumKindaMunster I’m not sure about that. I’ve observed fellas talking about sport, cars ad women but not politics.

Maybe it’s different on your side of the Atlantic
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Morvoren I'm speaking in generalities...for what its worth, I don't care at all about sports.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
It's that time of year. I get more blocks over politics than anything else. BTW only the right block me! It's not one sided.

I've yet to block anyone or even mute anyone since I have joined in 2016.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@DeWayfarer Preach brother.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@SumKindaMunster really has more to do with the whole society regardless of political party. 🤷🏻‍♂️
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@DeWayfarer Agreed.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
Being blocked here and on other social media platforms is a badge of honor.
Same with me…don’t worry, I’m not on 13 yet but there is time.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@TangledUpInBlue I have faith that you can do that.
@SumKindaMunster goals and aims
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
Over what?
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Longpatrol I agree. I am passionate, but I am reasonable. I assume I struck some nerves.
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
@SumKindaMunster That's always the risk of having an opinion and defending it. Our lives are serious enough, must we make our hobbies serious as well?
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Longpatrol It's all good. At the end of the day, I learned some things about the issues I care about and the people I discussed them with.

I feel a bit wiser and more informed.

Perhaps that is enough.

Thank you for your comments, the are appreciated.

How can you tell that you’ve been blocked?
@SumKindaMunster I’m sure you’ve double checked being blocked by those people. Just wanted to let you know that my Profile Visitors that have the opaque film over their avatar haven’t blocked me. It’s only the completely white boxes that have.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@OlderSometimesWiser Yes, thank you. The opaque ones are different, I am guessing they are accounts with adult content, and the pure white ones are the ones that blocked you. Noted and corrected.
Punches · 46-50, F
@SumKindaMunster I have seen pure white ones that had not blocked me.
Some people have opaque or white or even "X" avatar pics just to mess with others.

You could probably just open a thread in incognito or an alt acct to see who blocked.
TexChik · F
Just goes to show why you shouldn't play with your liberals! Just flush them and forget. 😉
You monster !!!! 😂

it's not impossible to hold opposing views and still have an open mind, but it's a two way street. we're so polarized now, and it's ruining our country. being conservative doesn't mean i don't listen to the opinions of the left. most times we disagree but i'm happy to help where i can to make things better. i want to believe MAGA is a loud minority but the way both sides behave is making cooperation very challenging
Musicman · 61-69, M
It's always a shame losing people you thought were friends. It happened to me once and it hurt. ☹️
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Musicman Thanks man.

It's ok, I wouldn't say they were friends but I thought we could have healthy disagreements and shake hands at the end of the day.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@SumKindaMunster I am so sorry ☹️

@DavidT8899 Thank you. Yes the left is notorious for shutting down conversations and walking away when it gets too hard.

IMO, this is why they have such insular and self reinforcing beliefs. They only feel comfortable talking to people that already agree with them.
Morvoren · F
@Jimbo1 Speaking of cowards how come you never write a post of your own?
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
@SumKindaMunster And gave you noticed that its ONLY the far -leftists that START OFF the posts by being nasty,not only in terms of what they believe,but in how they respond to the person themselves.Mostly,those are the types of people I block.
