Thoughts on blocking.

Two days ago I had one of those "touchy-feely" moments in which I thought that I might TRY to unblock a few of the more than 1400 people I have blocked on SW. It was mostly random. I went back to people I had blocked about 7 years ago.

I soon discovered WHY I had blocked two of them.

I think we ALL have to learn to trust our own decisions and STOP second guessing ourselves.

I don't care , I only block if I think the person has a condition beyond their control. Otherwise let them show themselves.

@WowwGirl I have noticed, regarding political issues, that some people become very nasty, and are even abusive.

@4meAndyou I know, and it's very sad they are so hurt themselves that they feel the need to hurt others.
Trolling like mean trolling is considered a mental illness now in psychology, it's a type of reactive disorder to be specific.

@WowwGirl There are very strong opinions and feelings on BOTH sides of this issue. I try to put myself into the mind set of the person doing the arguing...but sometimes their minds don't seem quite rational...or my own isn't. Just finding it all very exhausting.

@4meAndyou it's not worth time or effort
