thoughts on blocking

Not just on this site. But any site/platform in general. I personally block the most on disqus. Many people to reply to comments are doing so in bad faith. I simply choose to not give them my time. I block a lot on xitter too, especially EeLawn Mower.

Apparently some people refuse to block because they view it as "losing" and will continue to engage in arguments so they can be the "winner". Honestly never knew this was a thing lol I thought you should just block the moment the conversation turns hostile and/or drags on too long.

I don't view it as winning or losing, I prefer to think whether I've made my case or not. If I have and if the other person isn't focused on the point anymore and have resolved to insults or side-tracking, then I block to disengage and prevent childish arguments. I block because I can tell it is not necessary to keep talking.

Do you block? Why or why not?

i'm too old and tired to be arguing with people online idc what it is i'm blocking. it's not my job to educate anyone nor to change their minds on views i might not agree with. if they're dangerous thats what the report button is for. it's not 'knowing i'm wrong or lost' it's simply that i think its a waste of time reply

ive said this before so ill just copy and paste my answer here, i think its fucking petty to block someone in an argument. You shouldnt be blocking anyone as long as you know YOUR in the right and they are in the wrong. If you block someone, its obvious you know what your saying is wrong and what the other party saying is right so you dont have eno...... 1 reply

I very rarely block someone. I like to see what people say, even if I disagree. After all, people used to pay to go to freak shows, but online they are free and in your face every day. I don’t get bothered by a different viewpoint, I just don’t think much of those who can’t give a rationale and descend to immature name calling. I am pret...... reply
