Do you really care if another member blocks you?
It's stupid, but I have to say that it does sometimes. Especially on dating websites. I'm not a stalker and generally am not rude to anyone. But I guess it is a way for people to narrow their view.
What bothers me most are heartfelt emails that are deleted without being read.
Unfortunately, we cannot control what other people will do.
I have completely sworn off dating sites, and have only been here
for community.
Nope. Life is too short to think about why a complete stranger may have blocked me.
On the other hand, I have blocked a couple of people who have either been uncivil, arrogant, or just plain too dense to have a reasonable discourse with. Although I have not done so on Agnostics yet, I have also blocked shallow and/or superficial people on social media who I feel are just trying to make impressions and earn brownie points from the ever-so-popular and growing PC crowd. Nothing is a bigger turn off for me than people who seek approval and fall into groupthink.
Wouldn't bother me at all unless it's someone I like as a friend. I've accidently blocked people before and unblocked them when I realized my error. Sometimes my device lags....
i am delightful in such a rare way, i became used to being bullied, ostracized, declared a weirdo - why not being blocked? no skin off my nose
How would I know if someone blocked me? (That's a serious question.) I have blocked a few people who I felt wanted to turn every response on my part into an argument. I'd actually be interested to know if there were people I had so annoyed that they felt the need to block me.
About the only ways I know of are a) another member tells you that "so-and-so has blocked you", because so-and-so has told them they blocked you, or b) you consistently get "content deleted" messages, after receiving notifications that another member has commented on your response on a particular thread.
@KKGator Thanks for the information. I think that has happened once or twice -- far less frequently than I would have thought.
@ladyprof70 You are most welcome. Happens to me all the time. LOL
@KKGator That actually makes me like you better
@ladyprof70 Thanks! LOL
