Do people just block anyone with whom they disagree?

Isn't that stupid? I have room for dissenting opinions, unless people get personal(ad hominem). I could...gasp...learn something! Are people afraid of knowledge?

Judging by the actions of some, that answer might be "yes".

Depends what they disagree with me on.

@MaryJo1996 Fair enough. Some issues are pretty hot-button.

@uncalled4 Exactly. Someone, for instance, is entitled to hold racist opinions, (even though most normal folk think that is vile), but I'm not tolerating that shit.

@MaryJo1996 I recently reported some people for stalker-ish behavior here. I'm a traditional guy in a lot of ways, but I wouldn't stand idly by if a guy is going after a woman. There's still something to be said for chivalry, and I'm also not going to tolerate shitty behavior toward women here.

@uncalled4 Well, lucky you're not a woman then - it's rife on here! 😬😬

@MaryJo1996 Some abuse the anonymity of the internet. It takes a certain kind of cretin to hurt someone just because they can. I may HAVE to block, just because their existence irks me.
