On SW, is being blocked by someone a rite of passage?

I've read some questions on their time being blocked, and I answered I've never been blocked.

Well today that's changed. Someone didn't like basic business facts on a subject and for some reason, Mr. Tough Guy blocked me.

It doesn't mean anything. Your life will not change one bit, the world won't be impacted. It's irrelevant.

@MarkPaul Very true, but the same can be said about other rite of passage as well.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Viper You mean like getting circumscribed, graduating from school, winning a bowling trophy, getting married, and dying?
Viper · M
@MarkPaul one of those doesn't quite seem like the others

bowling trophy? 😋

But no, I meant more simple rite of passage

first time on a bike
first speeding ticket
sweet 16 birthday party (not talking about driving but the party)
first real birthday party
first time to a bowling alley!
etc

@Viper I would suggest to you that all of the instances you mentioned are life-changing. Getting blocked by a random stranger though... that's not life-changing.
Viper · M
@MarkPaul I don't see how a party or bowling alley are life changing, but to each their own.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Viper You have much to learn.
Viper · M
@MarkPaul about bowling?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Viper Look... I'm not a bowler; you're not a bowler. But, can you imagine how a bowler might feel? Do you not have any decency?
Viper · M
@MarkPaul I'm confused how decency plays into any of this?

What behavior has failed to conforms to accepted standards of morality or respectability?

Also who says I'm not a bowler? I go bowling!
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@ViperThe complete and total lack of empathy for a "designated" group of people violates universal standards of morality. I appreciate you (finally) admitting your bowling orientation.
Viper · M
@MarkPaul okay... I see you're just screwing with me, and you're not really coo coo for cocoa puffs. Got it.

I haven't shown any lack of empathy.

I never denied my bowling orientation... just that I don't see winning a trophy as life changing... unless it comes with life changing money or fame. Plus my orientation is more for the impact sports.

@Viper I just think you are overheating over being blocked when it doesn't really mean one damn thing.
Viper · M
@MarkPaul Nope, you keep striking out.

I didn't even get the slight be heated in the first place. I thought it was slightly ironic. As I've told someone else, I just created this question to test creating a question... as I'm fairly new here.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Viper Why are you back-pedaling so much? Are you that much in need of being perceived as "right?"
Viper · M
@MarkPaul Okay I seriously can't tell if you're trolling or need mental health help, which I assume means you're doing an amazing job trolling, good job 👍

But no, I don't care if I hang right or I hang left. Make no different to me. And I'm not pedaling, I'm cooking a pizza!
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@ViperDo you even know what trolling means? It sounds like maybe that's what you are doing if you are just randomly posting questions to keep yourself amused while you are attempting to cook with zero interest or near zero interest in what you or anyone else has to say.

A sane person doesn't post about being blocked and calling out the blocker as "Mr Tough Guy" (you don't deny or back-pedal that you posted that, right?) if that person is not heated or could care less about being blocked by some random person.

I strongly recommend you check your own mental health as you shove that pizza down your throat and deny your true intentions.
Viper · M
@MarkPaul I had a lot of interested in what people had to say, just you keep guessing and completely missing on things. And you said I was getting heated, but clearly you're the one getting heated, so you probably just reflected your own feelings wrongly onto me.

I honestly could care less about being blocked. You're wrongly making the assumption that I care. This is my third time saying this, this post was made for me to work on making post... this is only my second one.

Mr. Tough Guy was funny, but I guess you can't laugh since you're being all serious and making wrongly wrong assumptions.

And now you're getting violent? Yeah... you got mental issues. And you're being Mr Tough Guy now with heated and the violence.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Viper I have serious suspicions about your convenient claim on the "work" you need to do to figure out this so-called complicated process for posting a question. It's not really that hard to figure out nor does it take work or practice to figure out how to do so. But, let's go with your feeble excuse that the question you posted really was immaterial... that you were just practicing in a desire to improve your performance as a question-asker.

As for charging me with violence (where none exists), you might want to reflect on why someone else might want to block you when you exhibit bad behaviour that casually throws out false claims, acts with a know-it-all attitude, and displays distinct paranoia.
Viper · M
You can have all the suspicions you want, most of your others assumptions have been wrong, so this one can be too.

My creative juices were blocked, I didn't know what to make a post about and I didn't want to make a post with no real topic. I saw some other people create post about being blocked in the past, and for some reason I was blocked and so I copy catted, and asked a question about it too.

You're really over thinking this.

🤗 you were shoving my pizza down my throat... that's violent! ... instead of gentle biting and crewing it.

You keep citing bad behavior when there is none 🤗 you're so funny! :)
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Viper In my message, "you" were shoving pizza down your throat. I take no responsibility for what I might have been doing in your fantasy.

I think we are done here. You can go.
Viper · M
@MarkPaul yeah AFTER you went back and edited it

This is my post you silly goose, I'm not going from my post :)
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Viper Except that isn't what I edited. So, in addition to all the other reasons why someone might want to block you, let's add lying.

And, just so you know, in case you haven't been able to figure it out on your own, blocking on the Internet isn't an act of violence.

@MarkPaul [quote] blocking on the Internet isn't an act of violence.[/quote]


🤣 I've been typed to death several times...Doesn't that count?
Viper · M
@MarkPaul Can you not stop? Or do you just lack impose control? Or just nothing better to do?

Because you have been non-stop throwing theory after theory out there, and when they don't stick you move onto the next one and keep going.

Of course blocking is not violence... once again another false assumption theory by you.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@ViperWhat more do you want me to say?
