If I have an argument with someone,I think it can be very
constructive,to talk it out.Surely, we only block someone if we really
think we cant seem to resolve the argument.What do you think,is
blocking just the easy way out?


But, sometimes there is no resolution.......?????????????


So I have blocked a couple, just so I dont have to split hairs...over
and over again.....frown

LOL they'll be OKAY.

I would block someone if they were continously rude or kept verbally
attacking me. Who needs that?

I will block people as a way of letting them know I wish no further
communication with them.

I've never blocked anyone, but if I ask politely a few times for them
stop doing something, and they just won't quit, then I would block.

I might use the block feature for "pervs", not for any other reason.

Can't imagine an online conversation deteriorating to then extent that
blocking was necessary??????noway Well, for me....

I've never had that problem here, but I can see where, in certain
situations, it might be good to wait a few days before trying to iron
things out. Some people need a little more time to cool down.

If it's a situation where it's just constant attacks or rudeness, then,
yes, I think a permanent block may be justified.

Everyone handles things different.
If it felt right, so be it.
I see no need to block anyone,
Just ignore them, hit delete.

I've only block pervs and weirdos. I could not ever imagine arguing
with someone on here to the point of having to block them. If they
continued to bother me trough email after a discussion online in a
public forum, they graduated to weirdo.

I agree with you, Tulip, talking is the best thing,but if you cant
resolve whatever the problem is,I would first ask the person to
stopcontacting me and if that didnt work, I would block the person. I
feel this way, to give the person the oppotunity to do the right thing,
then.I know if someone asked me not to contact them anymore, I would
not, why waste my time.flowerforyou glasses
