JJ Blocked...again

I read with some amusement a post about someone blocking JJ
A side of him can be abrasive. But for me I believe it is part of his charm, this sarcastic humor of not having to suffer fools.
To his credit he can take it as well as he dish it out. It is this kind of commentary jousting and repartee I find mind stimulating.
For some who found themselves in the cross-hair of his outburst, the question to ask is are you of a "nobler mind" to continue suffering the "slings and arrows" of JJ's outrageous fulmination or are you made of sturdier stuff and "take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them" (sorry Shakespeare)
But one has to be thick-skinned if one wish to stand toe to toe with him in mortal combat with no quarters asked or given. Be wary however of a flank attack from his sidekick "Scar".
And may the best man or woman win.
There are some who might disagree with my description of JJ and say he's just an old grouch.
How would you describe your interaction with JJ?

He's like that old dog that you can't help but love. He might bite you from time to time, but his loyalty far out weighs his "sharp tongue"

He is a teddy bear, but don't tell him I told you! He doesn't want that secret getting out.

@mysdianait he is brave to block JJ, but his act is cowardice. he does not want to be 'interrogated' by @JolietJake.

@JolietJake is like part of the furniture here and his bark is worse than his bite.
If you block him then you miss out on so much fun

@mysdianait _Yes he is fun to read but try to avoid bumping your knee or banging your head on this "furniture". Antique furniture are built of sturdier stuff.

@LadyDuck _It's good that there are people who go out of their way to insure mylot remains a viable and pleasurable site for well meaning discussions. Trolls and scammers have no place here. However, I think the reason JJ got blocked by that particular person was because their running comments got too heated. As the saying goes, "when an immovable object (blocker) meets an unstoppable force (JJ) something has to give".

I like his style of writing which is sometimes artistic and sometimes sarcasm. When you love the art of writing, then you like JJ

@KrauseHome _ It's people like JJ who add the spice and heat on discussions. Just come prepared with a glass of water if it gets too hot.

I have only encountered him on 2 of my discussions, and he's been nothing but nice and very informative . Having been a long time member of Mylot , when it comes to JJ i understand his humor and yes, his sarcasm and impatience with stupidity. i guess some people can't take straightforwardness

@workathomefan don't forget that it doesn't matter if something you post gets reported by one or a hundred members...if isn't against the rules it stay up if it against the rules admin takes it down.
