@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 |
@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)?
