Interesting posts, and I can't respond

I definitely did not want to give it. But there simply was no way I could communicate my apology to her. I wish she'd told me that this is way too harsh or this is rude or this is not right. I would get time to reflect upon it. I always communicate the reasons for my discomfort or inability to accept the other person's reasoning. I give the person a fair chance because losing a friend is not something on my agenda. It takes quite a while to understand a person, and like some qualities. Blocking without communicating the reason for blocking defeats the purpose of blocking. To differ in opinions is perfectly alright. Ruby Hawk and me differed on that wall thing of Trump as did Rebelann. This platform helps us to rationalize with each other and that is why myLot is great. We learn of different perspectives and those are not wrong either. We may, at the best, be deciding without all facts on hand. After all, I do not know everything that happens at your end, right? In any event, I do feel it is accidental blocking. Should I remove the name? How then will she come here..

@topffer .. I tried that top. I asked Sonja Rae, and JJ to help me out on this. She has not replied. She may not be checking her PMs. I am not given to that false dilemma thing..lol. Mistakes happen, nobody is perfect, least of all me. lol. Thinking differs as per environment as well. I have no wish to intrude...but I wish I knew "why".

@vandana7 It is a paralogism by false dilemma, there were several other ways possible without giving the name : you could write this discussion and ask to someone to send her the link with a PM, or ask to somebody to apologize for you with a PM.

Thank you for your wishes. :) I try not to hurt others. That is not to say that I have not. But @topffer had all the reasons in the world to block me, and he has been forgiving. Sometimes, I am drowsy ..in fact, most of the time I come here, I am drowsy so I type something that comes out as rather harsh since English is not my mother tongue. My thinking process is in a different language after all.

@vandana7 You do seem rather blunt and pull no punches. One of the reasons I like you. But to each is own, some have a hard time with that mindset.

@vandana7 I do not see any reason to block anybody else than a troll or a plagiarist here, and you are not a troll or a plagiarist. Anybody signing here should agree to accept different opinions from other members. We often disagree, but we have always done it like civilized people.

I noticed that one of the myLotters had ACCIDENTALLY blocked me. We are good friends, so I was surprised. I used a mutual friend and then things were sorted. I am inclined to believe that is the case here as well.

Thanks Oshy, I feel it was a mistake..hopefully she will communicate. :)

@vandana7 I hope so Vanny. I know you do not mean any harm.

@vandana7 Any change in this Vanny?

I have tried that, there is no response..

@LadyDuck .. I don't think there was any scope for offense, because it has been real long time since I interacted with her.

@vandana7 I see, may be she got offended and has no intention to reply.

I think in this case she did it accidentally. But I remember recent interactions between you and me. Some would have blocked me for those, but you were open to reasoning and patient to enlighten me. I finally realized I was wrong. That is how it should be. :)

@JustBhem .. If I am wrong, I always admit it. Saves me a lot of botheration developing arguments for defending my stand on wrong, and keeps me less tense on tasks that require serious attention. lol. My policy. :) Thanks for having tolerated me. :)

@vandana7 I don't end up hating people because of our differences when it comes to our own perspective. We all have our own freedom to open our thoughts. I respect everybody's perception whether it's wrong or not. And we are human, right. I appreciate that you are good sports when it comes to admitting you are wrong. I like people who are very honest about their thoughts.

@vandana7 I understand you. It happens to me too. There are some ideas that are difficult to put in another language.

@marguicha .. Sigh..if only people would realize how much of extra effort it requires to frame that sentence correctly without hurting others, they would appreciate us I suppose. If they were writing in our languages, they would face same issues.

It would be so kind of you. I already requested JJ and Sonja Rae. But so far, she has not responded. I presume there must be something I wrote which sounded rather harsh. What happens is we translate sentences in our minds from our mother tongue. There can be mistakes that make the comment sound harsh. Likewise, there may be some opinions formed because of the environment I am brought up in. How is blocking going to change that thought or opinion? Rationalizing would.

I hope so too. :) I wish to apologize in case I hurt her in any way..sigh.

She is here. :)

@vandana7 On this discussion? If so, then it's definitely a case of accidental blocking...

You mean to say she is terrified of my crocodile grin? Blink...but why? I look so benign in it..sigh.

She has come on the post. :) It was an accident. :)

Yeah..ouch it is..sigh. :(

It sure was. :) She came to the post and informed. :)

@YrNemo ..Yes, you are a sensitive person I noticed. :) But we will get along well. I am blunt and to a great degree honest, but I am not rude unless pushed to corner.

LOL.. Sweet...I had included her name up there, but top said it is not a nice thing to do. I removed it after another user called her here. Let us see how things pan out. Thank you by the way for not blocking me.

@vandana7 I don't think I will block anyone (knock on wood). So far, anyone frightened me with their aggressive ways, I promptly avoided them (too frightened to do anything else!).

Yes, she came and well, it turns out that she blocked me accidentally. Pleasing others online is not exactly what I do. :) And frankly, here, we can afford to voice our thinking in cool and collected manner, most of the times. In real life, we are doing things almost in real time, therefore, misunderstandings are more likely in that sort of situation. Nice to meet you Nancy. :) Welcome to myLot. :) You will love it here. :)

@vandana7 thank you dear friend for the warm welcome. I am glad it worked out with your friend.Nice to meet you to.
