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. ✊

@CookieCrisp Oh you know....having intense conversations about politics that are disagreements and then someone says something, then someone says something else in response...next thing you know...BLOCKED.

@SumKindaMunster i dont do much political chats, but i could imagine just seeing how heated people get

@CookieCrisp It's gotten pretty aggressive at times. It's gotten better for me as people block me, I tend to interact more with like minded people.

@SumKindaMunster yeah, its too bad people cant discuss things like that without getting upset, but online is prob not the best place for that, people are a bit more rude online then irl.

@CookieCrisp Personally, I like the challenge. If I can defend my position and viewpoints with people who disagree, it means I am on the correct track and my opinions have merit.

@SumKindaMunster that is true, good way to test out your positions. have you ever changed your position from a good point someone made that disagreed with you?

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@CookieCrisp I have! I was convinced that I shouldn't support the "doxxing" of college students engaging in anti-Isreal protests on campuses.

Initially, I was for punishing them, but it was demonstrated to me that these are kids and they make decisions all the time that they don't realize have significant consequences. I was convinced that it is merely an expression of free speech and they should probably get a pass, even if the behavior they engaged in was inappropriate, hateful, and anti Semitic.

@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
