The block on this site still needs tweaking. I consistently ( as of 3/5/18 ) see content of members I have blocked. I see:

That their profile still exists (i.e. say they liked a post or comment that I also liked). If I then click on their picture or name, it says they are not active or gone completely. But, clearly, they are not.

Main posts they have authored (in the category field). So, if I click on General/Hellos - I can read DudeI'veBlocked's question or post. But, if I click on it to read comments, it disappears.

Anyway, I get your curiosity about how often you've been blocked. I can't imagine any forum would ever consider allowing that.

I'm confused about your belief that probably people have blocked you. I've never seen anything you've written that comes even close to being blockworthy.

If I saw that IAnnoyPeopleForFun was blocked by 267 of our members, that would put me on alert. But, I would never block somebody unless their actions annoyed or angered ME to the point of my wanting to not be in their company.

I think that would be awful because you’d have NO backstory to it—

Do their beliefs not mesh with others in spheres like politics, religion, identify, or health rights? Are they just an inflammatory dick? Do they just get passionate?

I’ve rebutted some pretty common stances because they get based in emotional arguments. That does not lead to friend making often. Emotional arguments do not think long term, nor do they measure, it’s in essence mob rule of social media. Sure, there’s some occasions where I’m apt to grab a pitchfork but it still is tied to arguments grounded in logic that I also feel emotional about— (corporal punishment of certain types of sex offenders.)

Thing is, in emotional arguments people can get vicious and do ad hominin attacks, once they revolve to abusive language I block. I didn’t do anything to deserve being mocked as a human.

Depends on where I'm at and where they're at. Just 'blocked' somebody in real life today because they're detrimental to me emotionally and I'm not in the right place to deal with them either. Otherwise I wouldn't care if some people blocked me on this site. As long as those who I believe have a clue don't block me I'm fine. If THEY started blocking me then I would need to take a hard look in the mirror. Also probably wouldn't care if there were 'blocked stats' . That video was really cool.

I’ve got one idiot blocked on here. It’s pretty nice

I'd dearly love to block and mute some real life people when I'm out and about. Especially those road rage imbeciles who shout abuse.

That is an intriguing set of thoughts...

For me, blocking is about trolls, 9 outta 10 times... No, much closer to 100‰...

I think when you block here - you no longer see the other person's posts.
