I just blocked my first person since returning to agnostic.com. @1patriot is guilty of not only posting conspiracy theories, I wouldn't block him just for that. He just clogs up my feed with all his bullshit. It's just annoying and I can't read meaningful posts. Every member is entitled to their own opinion, I just don't want to see all this shit from a random asshole from Calgary. I got bored with insulting him and disproving his nonsense posts. He's just not worth the trouble.
I just tend to skip over and ignore his posts…but the sheer volume of them is irritating and does clog up the feed. If you feel the need to take measures to eliminate unwanted stress & irritation in your life by blocking this guy…so be it.
I hear ya!!!! The only problem is he has diarrhea of posting and you get blocked from too many things...I tried it and in some ways it was worse than his blather.
I've blocked a few people for the same reason, clogging up the feed with nonsense, I have no time to read. Much as I loved to have the site back up and running, I felt bad pruning out a bunch of the prolific posters of junk right away, but quality over quantity is good.
I have blocked that idiot for exactly the same reasons.
I know exactly what you mean. His resistance to reason is exceeded only by his alienation from reality. What a sad case. I wonder how people get so twisted up in knots. I have only ever blocked one other person. I may block him down the road. Right now I'm boxing his ears. It's not difficult, just boring.
I tried to attack him and insult him. That's fun for me, but when the other day he had the first six posts on the site? Too annoying and not worth the trouble. He spoiled agnostic.com experience.
I considered blocking him, I still might. You have to do what is best for your mental health.
He's basically posting political deck pics, he's doing it for the attention. And it's all stuff so stupid no debate is even possible.
I can't stand yhe guy, but I've had bad experience blocking people in the past. If I block someone, every post they comment on gets blocked as well. So, I'll just tolerate it as long as I can.
I used to want to read what everyone posted. I wanted to keep an open mind. But now when I see stuff that I can't stand I just block 'em and forget 'em. I don't even know who I have blocked right now because if they are out of sight they are out of mind.
Same here.
I understand completely. I blocked him a while back. I wanted to enjoy the site and he made that difficult due to all his shit posts.
I barely remember him, but I think that I blocked him for the same reason. Anyway, I think I blocked him because I don't see his posts--maybe he blocked me.
If he'd have blocked anybody, he'd have blocked me.
@barjoe then I must have blocked him as I see none of his posts! I am much quicker to block people these days--I am old, grumpy, and not inclined to waste my remaining years on BS, especially when it is not interesting or clever BS.
@Gwendolyn2018 My thoughts exactly.
