I Have Been ' Blocked '

I'm normally indifferent about being blocked but the amount of times I've been blocked today just for my input on the outcome of the election... Come on, people. That is so petty! Some of the users that have blocked me I thought were pretty cool too so that's a little disappointing... I guess this election is bringing out everyone's true colors.

An American friend of mine said she was disappointed that the coverage seemed to be treating the result in the same way as a sports victory. That seems entirely the wrong way of looking at it because it separates the country into two teams of opponents, rather than one country trying to work together to progress (regardless of the result).

Also, blocking you for holding an opposing opinion seems like a way of never getting perspective. If people were strong in their convictions, they'd talk to you about it, not put their fingers in their ears and shout la la la so they can't hear your words any more.

Exactly! That just shows how small-minded they really are.
