I on the other hand have never blocked anyone on this site in my life. I have been told once that African Americans are the dumbest most violent race on earth and still I did not block that person.

I am here to discuss. I can always stop conversing if I disagree or don't want to enagage. Thats my philosophy because I have had horrible chats with people that I highly dispise ( in the moment) and then a few months later I learn something amazing from them or find out that they were having a bad day or have a blind spot on some issue due to their own experience.

I also find the practice of sending a lengthy comment and then blocking extremely childish. It is to have the last word. Either you want to block me or you want to msg me which is it?
Blocking someone that you have friended for a long time to block over one discussion is a bit crazy to me.

I am proud of how I choose to handle disagreements. I can handle any religious or political belief and still try to find the humanity in that person. I like to base my discussions on logic and not feelings. I don't mind talking with people whose belief's offend me. Thats how we learn and come together and how I grow.
I will block for harassment but I haven't experienced that yet.
Oh well time for lunch!

What is your philosophy here?

My time is extremely precious.

I get more fulfillment from offline accomplishments and I don't have a problem blocking people who stand in my way in any form. By trying to pick silly fights with me, by spying on my profile to find faults, by harassing me..or by just disturbing my peace.

Not everyone is worth space in my life. Same applies to social media. Not everyone is entitled to talk to me or contact me.

I have limited resources and I have to spend them wisely.

@Miram I can respect that we are all so different. I am prone to wanting some good to come of everything and being kinda willing to try to heal understanding one comment at a time which can be kinda silly I suppose

@REMsleep Don't think it is silly.

What is best depends on one's temperament and one's goals so it wouldn't be the same for everyone.

@Miram You are correct
I can learn from that. Everyone has a different temperment and its all valid
