I've had enough!

The subject of blocking has come up a few times lately (I brought it up myself on one occasion). What I mean is this....there are some people on here that, despite that person being a complete numpty, you give chance after chance to them, but despite that, you just get so fed up with their negativity or their refusal to consider an opposing view, you end up thinking "That's it! I can't stick you any further!" then you block them. I did that with one member yesterday. I get how some people are genuinely patriotic (I'm not), but when it comes to "My country first and all" at the expense of everyone else, I don't want to know.

I don't quite get why blocking is considered to be so bad. It's not [i]murder[/i]. They're still out there being who they are. It's likely they don't even know they're blocked.

It's not censorship. They're still saying what they say.

I am simply making my experience here more pleasant.

There are books and music and movies I don't enjoy. I don't think they should stop making them. I just avoid them.

@Mamapolo2016 If I avoid a movie, director or what not. My take has no affect on them; other than if enough are like me and just don't like the work. Social media, unfortunately, has become very critical of people who are sometimes just expressing parts of their life.

@thewindupbirdchronicles I do not interfere with their expression. I just choose not to read it. Rather than criticizing, I block.

@Mamapolo2016 Quite agree. If you don't want to hear from someone or put up with their opinions, you can block them. Doesn't hurt anyone. If only real life was that easy.......😉😊

@Fluffybull If only.

@Mamapolo2016 The irritating blockers are the ones who brag about it.
Like the kid who lists his allergies, has to tell you he is lactose intolerant, and climbing a tree gives him nosebleeds. 😅
