Gregory's Server@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 |

You're right, sometimes it's understandable, even reasonable to be disgraceful. But I'm not sure that makes it right.
Honestly I don't think I understand the blocking people mindset. It doesn't matter how wrong someone is, or how hurtful their words may be, I can't see myself ever blocking anyone.
I have blocked spam bots now and again. But their just bots, not people. I really don't like myself when I'm disrespectful to people; Even when they're far worse to me.
