I Will Not Hesitate To Block You If You Are Not Respectful

Feels like only a matter of time. I'm noticing an interesting pattern. I have just the tiniest amount of info on my profile so far, but I've already gotten six messages from different people along the lines of:

"You shouldn't ________, ________, or _________. Just my opinion."

I'll respond as respectfully as possible or try to clarify the huge assumptions made, and then I'll get something like:

"Keep your opinions to yourself and mind your own business!"

They contacted me! Why do some people think they can slap their opinions onto whoever they choose, but then be angry at the possibility of receiving someone else's? Is discourse dead?

The internet killed a lot of things, like discourse, grammar, intelligence, etc...

Some people have high opinions of themselves and think they have a monopoly on what's okay and what isn't. Which is why they get offended when you do the same to them, even if it's just politely rejecting their "advice". How dare you criticize them? They're better than you and are entitled to judge you in whatever way they please but you're not allowed to do it with them. That elitist mentality really disgusts me to no end. If I were you, I would just tell them to go fuck themselves and then block them. That's all the kindness they deserve.
[b][c=#BF0080]ehh, it happens to us all. Just ignore and block them. [/c][/b]

@ MisVirtuous you are right on, nobody's business. I,v also noticed some controversial statements being offered then being lambasted when you disagree. Then of course they take the cowards way out by blocking and deleting once they find no counter argument. My profile is quite open, but haven't drawn any negative remarks jet.

duh111: I guess I'll just have to go down swinging, then!

Fishing65: Oh, I know. Thankfully, those aren't the only messages I've gotten.

pinkrainbowkisses: I'm used to a fair share of it, and I'm not afraid to block. It just seemed an odd pattern.

Wow, I cannot wait for nested replies! 😛

MisVirtuous, I agree with you. After all, discourse should be one of the least threatening forms of intercourse.
