Gregory's Server@steve I donβt think I said anything about not having the right to *ask* for something you are or are not owed. I only said they donβt owe you a reason.

 @mpjgregoire @steve I completely disagree. Often, I want to block someone without them knowing I blocked them. How is it graceful to tell someone Iβm going to block them, especially if theyβre causing me any distress (whether knowing or unknowingly)? @steve @mpjgregoire How is it disrespectful to block someone? If someone causes you any form of distress, block them. Lifeβs too short, and not everyone deserves your attention. @mpjgregoire @steve It does not matter to me if someone chooses to block me for any reason. Most of the time, I would probably never notice.  @ramsey @steve It doesn't bother me that I was blocked and I appreciate his telling me why β though I don't think I wrote anything unreasonable or impolite in this case. Ghosting someone is disrespectful. It's not the blocking. It very literally adds insult, to injury. Sometimes there may be reasons to insult. I think we should try to avoid pettiness. @steve @mpjgregoire Iβm not talking about people who are in a relationship. Iβm talking about strangers online. Whatever the relationship, the behavior is the same. And I didn't mean to imply the reason I don't block is out of respect. I can see how you thought that, and apologize for the mid understanding. The reason I don't block, is my belief that nothing was ever fixed with less information. @steve |
@ramsey @steve
I don't think an explanation is "owed" either; but I think it shows grace to give a reason before blocking someone.
