Well, it's Friday

I just blocked someone and then unblocked them to see how it would work. Just like other forums I've been on, duh, .

It works better if you ask people to block you.

It prevents them from wasting their time answering you in the future. happyface

Great idea! I don’t think the request would’ve been respected.

And it would be wrong for me to ask them not to interact with me. It’s my issue, not theirs.

I would've respected it. I think it's a great idea. No use responding to someone who doesn't want and can't even see your opinion.

Am I back in high school again?

Cat Herder...while I agree it might work better to ask them to block you, it's easier to just block them.

Also, blocking some one prevents them from being able to PM you.
They can still send one to you but it never arrives in your inbox.

Am I back in high school again?

Maybe depending on your personal experience.

I don’t own this site.
I am not a moderator.
I am one of the newer members.
I needed assistance in learning how to block/ignore someone.
I don’t know what is high schoolish about asking for help.
I don’t know what is high schoolish about not wanting to read/interact with an individual I have zero interest in.

I am not asking any other member to ignore the individual.
I am not being mean or nasty to the individual.
I am not asking anyone else on this site to do anything in regards to how I interpret or feel about the person.

So you would have no idea you were blocked, and still carry on as usual responding to their posts? Even though they wouldn't be seen by the blocker? It would be nice if, when someone blocks you, the blocker would also disappear from the blockee's feed. Otherwise, the blockee just looks like a fool who is being ignored and doesn't understand why, kwim? But I understand this forum isn't set up to support that. Just thinking out loud.

I re-read my post and it came off moody. U mad bro. :::: It was not intended as such. I am horribly blunt/literal.

I meant it as in someone who does not want your (vague your, mostly my ::: particular viewpoint. Literally.

Some posters are so opposite from one another that they don't value the other side, it hurts their feelings to even read it. It is viewed as personal judgement instead of situational observation/topic discussion. :confused:

***I literally would prefer to know when someone does not want to hear my take on things.*** It does not hurt my feelings. A respectful "I appreciate your efforts, but would prefer you abstain from responding to me..." is much better that pulling a "forum Hitler".

It allows me to direct my energy to someone who does understand my intent. I come here to enjoy my water cooler visit. I love debates. I work alone. I never want to hurt feelings, I don't want to have to sugar coat or walk on eggshells either, though.

I have never been the subject of a pm attack. :confused: Who does that?? Nah, don't tell me...

Better clarified?
