The First &quot;Block&quot;, on Mylot

Yeah...and not feel bad about it. In real life, when we disconnect we are left feeling terrible. We are forced to sort of explain things to others why we did it, otherwise, everybody would think we are out of our minds or are fighting types, just about anything that person may tell about us. Online socializing has its advantages.

@vandana7 No point keeping a conversation which becomes meaningless. We are lucky on the net, we do not many qualms, of coming face to face with a person.

Yes Gary! Sometimes we run into folks, who just don't have any sense in them.

I don't block people unless they start something and then blame their shortcomings on me. If you state something wrong, I will correct it if it annoys me, and that person did, and when I corrected them they tried to turn it around but the third sentence that it was my mistake. That was in a game, but still, it was really immature. I was about to block them when they blocked me. I blocked them anyways, but hope that they have an exceptionally short life (yes, I get heated up quickly).

@gregario888 ..I was comparatively new at the site. I was lucky I knew who would help me to send that jerk away.

I only block if people try to use my posts as a place to spam their links, etc. Otherwise, I just ignore those who get unruly .

My threshold is much lower, I can't stand a useless argument. Particularly when a person is persistent.

There are days like this

. The first plagiarist I blocked was posting sweet messages addressed to me in discussions started by other members. He has finally been banned at the 3rd or 4th one, when he was speaking of killing me

Being able to block people is good for our mental health - though it can feel like sticking your fingers in your ears and refusing to listen to things you don't like. Nothing wrong with that though.

A "harangue" is the kind of meringue which doesn't crumble and melt in the mouth but sticks to your teeth like a leech and won't let go however much you work your jaw.

Surely some people manage to irritate you more than others. By putting up a stream of drivel, which your friends and followers, as well as yourself, are sure not to like.
