Blocked!

Hello Everybody!
I am posting again after a few weeks of not sharing a discussion. I will try to shorten this and go straight to the point.
I just recently found out that I was blocked by this person (and maybe a few others) for reasons I do not know since I have only interacted with that person ONCE! So I do no know what the problem was.
How did I know? It was when a member here mentioned that person’s name saying that this person had a point in the response given and I cannot see what that person said. Then I checked the likes and jackpot I saw that person’s name and when I saw the profile, I cannot see those Follow, Send Message and Block buttons.
As for the reasons why I was blocked is beyond comprehensible as I cannot decipher what is going on inside that person’s head. Maybe I got the attitude that that person didnt like since I am a newbie with less than 5k activities under my name. I guess I did in a way intimidated that person because when I read its discussions, it seems like that person insinuates topics to its liking and asserts its opinion regardless of what others say. It was a way of saying that I am smart and you are not. I know better and you are shallow. Something to that effect: “so might as well just shut up, your views do not matter.”
As for me, then fine I just find it rather funny because it is childish but isn’t this is a “free thinking” site as but there are people not allowing you to think as freely as you could because as I have said, their way of thinking is better than yours and of course the very best reason of them all, the guidelines.
What were you reactions when you found out that certain people blocked you?
P.S. Please be reminded that just like everybody else, I don't like to please people either do I need people to like me. If my attitude just does not suit you then go block me, I will not budge. I havent blocked anyone for the simple reason that they have an attitude or insist on their beliefs. I must have deeper reasons to do that. 
By the way, this post is not related to my last discussion. 
Thank you. Have a great day anyone.

Hi Jessa. Thank you. I actually ignored it the first time maybe it was just nothing. Then the name was written on the response and I cannot see the person's reply. I said there that I might be blocked so that the person will know and at least send me a message whatsoever. But nothing happened.

It happened to me. And I even forgot the name of that member who blocked me here.
And she is a she. I don't know if she is still active as I know she was. Never encounter her here anymore because once someone blocked that means, you cannot message them or even leave a comment on their post but you can still see their profile though. I was sad about that knowing someone dislikes you when all you want is to interact and make friends with anybody here. So far, I gained more friends here.

That is true, my dear friend. Yes, I can still see it but not message or see their comments or posts. I just find it funny that with one simple interaction, it turned out to be something nasty to that person. But then, more members embraced me here and I am grateful. And you are one of them, Bhem. Thank you very much.

It reminds me of someone from Bubblews who attacked me for no reason at all and flagged my posts nearly 50 times ..lol

I don't care if someone blocks me, evidently we have nothing to talk about then. I have found that some on here have their opinions and ours don't matter, they are so closed minded that they can't see past their own thoughts and opinions to even consider anyone else's and those are the people I don't associate with because it is a waste of time. Just sayin.......

I am really touched, Ingrid, at all the people who have been friendly to me here. There were those I had arguments with but still get to be rub elbows with and I appreciate that. There are those I do not talk to but at least had the decency to be nice and say hello. There are people I do not like much still are nice to me because at the end of the day you guys give me the shoulder to lean on when I am really not mad or pissed. I was just really surprised. Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Cheer up my dear friend it will be their lost not yours. Maybe that person forgets that negative or positive responses we get here can give us earnings? And besides it is a Discussion site and it is always good to have other opinions. We can give responses negatively why not, but if we are civilized enough we won't used bad words or anything of that kind. I never block anyone and i'm sure i won't do in the future as long as he/she will not be bothering me using bad words or directly hit me... I did have an experience of responses that i don't feel good with what she's trying to insinuate but i just ignore and never give my comments to her post nor responses. I just go on with connecting and interacting with people who can be polite enough despite our different views on things.
I am sorry to hear about this, Let's just go on Mylotting and enjoy the people that are friendly and broad minded and know and accept the realities that we are different and unique and so as are our thinking.

Thank you, my dear friend. I appreciate that. It is just funny because I only interacted with that person once with a deleted discussion. Maybe by that time that I saw the reply and I commented, the person blocked me. I was I new for I think a day or two. That person was not welcoming.

You can never tell what is going on in people's heads. Did you get involved in a religious discussion? Sometimes that can be a reason for people blocking you,

No, my friend. It has nothing to do with religious discussions. It was one simple discussion (or maybe a short note) from a newbie I think and I responded then this person just commented that I responded to a discussion that will be deleted because I did not follow guidelines or something to that effect. Then I answered that person that maybe you can educate me about the guidelines. That was all the interaction.

Sometimes people block because they don't like your point of view or something you said annoyed them. They might not like your profile photo or they think you are someone else. Sometimes, they block people just because they can. Don't worry about it. Just carry on.

Nope, Courtney. The only person who knew this was the member who posted a discussion wherein that person mentioned the name. I commented that I am unable to see the response. And I was only answered with emoticons. I was hoping that at least it would shed some light as to why I was blocked.

@mlgen1037 maybe you need to tell someone else the persons username that has you blocked and ask them to find out for you. as you cant find out on your own and better to ask and know than to assume.

Louise, I was blocked by someone here. I saw something the person posted and could not respond and people told me I was blocked. I was surprised at first. The person that wrote the discussion and I went back and forth at it and he did not block me but someone else. Apparently that person did not like me defending something that I felt was right and wanted people to know about. I was stunned at first but now I do not care. People will do what they do if they do not agree with what you say.

Louise, my opinion is that they are brain washed into thinking a certain way and do not understand those that want to let them know the truth or their point of view. It is sad. It was weird because the one that wrote the discussion did not block me and we even answer each other's discussions at times. I was surprised at the one that did block me but should be used to that because of things that happen in everyday life.

@Hannihar Hanni. I believe so too. It has become their system that the only truth for them is their beliefs and for them, others had to believe it too.
Yes, I think I should get used to it. I am doing my best not to offend anyone and not be blocked. But then we cannot please people.

Exactly, Hanni. I just do not get that part too. Why would you be blocking people when they do not agree with you or when they feel like the person has an attitude. This kind of people do not see an issue with themselves that all they see are others' mistakes and they are way to better. Such idiots.

But even if it wasn't an accident - you don't want to know that person anyway, then.

@mlgen1037 Oh I'm sorry that the person is being so weird then. But you can't always know why certain people act a certain way. Like one of my favorite movies "What About Bob" "I treat people like telephones. If I meet someone who I don't think likes me I just say to myself ... this one's just temporarily out of order y'know? Don't break the connection just hang up and try again." - great quote and advice.... sometimes most you can do
