Have a hunch it was the guy I blocked.

This site does not follow "British culture" ... it follows the American Free Speech model

Britains have the whole "shout at one another in pubs and Parliment" down ... it is cultural to have a duty to listen to anothers viewpoint then agree to disagree.

The American Free Speech model is anybody can talk all they want ... frequently and loudly

But nobody needs to feel the slightest obligation or duty to listen.

Thus people block at the slightest level of disinterest.

This has been a wake up for the Yahoo people .... they join, people welcome them, they write something offensive and the mute/blocks go into action.

And they are writing to a fraction of the available audience (due to the newsfeed algorithm)

Do not feel bad you are blocked ... I am sure what you wrote was heartfelt.
