Gregory's Server@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 |

"Leave people alone when they tell you to quit it. Blocked."
"Your political opinions are appalling. Blocked."
"Stop talking about subjects you know nothing about. Blocked."
Wouldn't you rather receive such a message than a silent block? If you'd prefer such a message from another person, then wouldn't it be gracious of you to send a similar message in the appropriate circumstances?
