Do u believe that blocking someone online is childish ? ๐Ÿฅ ๐Ÿฅ ๐Ÿฅ

Or do you think it's immature.
Sure people say things that are over the top.
They say things that are abusive.
Some of them may even be rude
or crass to the highest degree.
But when you block someone because you
actually lost an argument or debate
you're just in your feelings.
Your feelings got hurt.
But does that mean you should block.
What if the person is unaware of
how much your feelings got hurt. One thing about social media is that people can be oversensitive. They can be brats. They can be game players.
Or try to get in your head. But blocking
someone because they beat you in a debate means you lost. Or if they don't agree with you you take it personal. Really. Do you believe that blocking someone online is childish. Otherwise I can understand if you are harassed to the extreme.

I don't block anyone ever for any reason.
But... I am an attention whore and it's all good even when it's bad for me.

With that said I think blocking people for what ever reason is good for the blocker.
In R/L we are kind of stuck with people in our circles because of work or family and some of them may not be healthy for us to be surrounded by.
We just have to endure those.
Not online, there is no reason to not just eliminate any negative vibes from your surroundings for what ever reason.

The down side to this is that we are putting our selves into an echo chamber of like thoughts and minds and we don't allow our selves to be scrutinized.
When I have a thought it is built from what I understand and it is reinforced by what I can compare it to from life experience.
Ok..... Example time:
I don't like the idea of getting the Vax because I feel it was rushed out to fast.
No facts. No reason really it's just my thoughts. Quick fixes come with problems to often in my experience.
So I put it to SW. I asked if people "To Vax or Not To Vax".
I wanted to know if there was something that would change my mind. I wanted other peoples views on it.
The flaming I got didn't help or hurt. But there was a lot of it going on. Man people get crazy about that topic. LOL
I didn't receive any information that could make feel any more comfortable getting it. But I tried.

People don't like to have their views challenged for the most part and that is sad.
I myself want to know I am doing the right thing not the my thing be right because it's mine.

So know after writing all of this I think there should be no option to ever block anyone.
If people can't learn to look away from the things that upset their happy little world than they do have issues that need to be addressed I think. :-)
