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?

If someone detracts from my experience here significantly more than they add to it, they're getting the block button. This standard is fairly forgiving though, since even profoundly asinine people can be worth having around, if nothing else as a laughing stock. Some, however, are just exclusively grating or disgusting. But yeah, nobody's entitled to my time and nobody's entitled to yours either.

@BlueVeins I wouldn't say entitled but it's just my philosophy to seek the highest level of understanding by not blocking. The behavior would have to be ongoing and extreme for me to block. I don't only want just the pleasent conversations.

@REMsleep I have a lot of respect for you. I too, never block, mute or down vote. I definitely understand, in some circumstances.
