It's very simple. I block people for immaturity, cruelty and insanity (or just trolls or socks). If I see someone that fits on these categories chances are I'll ignore them. And when ignoring becomes too much effort, I'll block them.
I have no doubt, that some of us think certain other members " deserve it". I don't happen to think giving into the impulse is cool in most instances, as far as continuing with vindictive actions and/or comments.
Some people just won't take a hint.
If they are blocked or ignored they should leave you alone.
I know a building does not have to fall on me to take a hint like that.
I haven't blocked anyone. I don't like to block. However, if I HAD blocked someone I would not name them in a public forum. That's just wrong. Too much like bullying, and I despise bullies.
Wish I could like that comment 1000 times! Fortunately, I can walk away. The internet just isn't that important to me. Some people look at it a bit differently though. That's good because being different is what makes us all so interesting.
I disagree. And on most sites it is against the terms of service to publicly name and/or shame other members. And it IS bullying when you invite others to chastise those they have blocked. What is it that you get out of this? It seems to me there is already enough bickering on this site without you provoking even more. You do realize that this speaks directly to your character, correct? And not in a good way. Did you ever see the movie "Mean Girls"? Don't be one. It's quite unattractive. on you or anyone else.
Have a nice day. I won't be scolded and spoken to like a child on the internet. By the way, see MY previous comment. To what end do you encourage this? Someone who is blocked and cannot respond or defend themselves is to be discussed? you invite open discussion rather than backstabbing? how is it NOT backstabbing when the person is unable to defend themselves? I think you know exactly what you are doing. That's rude and it IS bullying. The only thing I can figure out is that you enjoy sitting back and watching the shit fly. NOT COOL. NOT COOL AT ALL. Remember, what goes around comes around. Karma is a harsh mistress. I suspect you will soon learn that lesson.
FYI...most people who are blocked always love to find a way of getting around the block to see what's written about them...perhaps you haven't been on Amirite long enough to know that.
And perhaps you haven't been on social media long enough to know that these things will ALWAYS come back around to you. and you won't be singing the same tune when that happens. It seems like there is a "bully" culture here already, and you only perpetuate it. Why not ask interesting, thought provoking questions instead of this kind of shit stirring? Why? What exactly do you get from this? You don't care about anyone backstabbing anyone. You enjoy trying to instigate. That much is obvious. And it appears that everyone else agrees that it isn't smart to ask people to name others for public ridicule. Notice NOBODY has done what you asked. And as far as what "most" people do...I'm not a follower. If you choose to be just like other instigators, that's on you, but it's no defense.
Bullying and openly chastising others always hits a nerve with me. It's a move made by weak people with low self esteem just to make themselves feel better. Good job.

Take a leaf out of your own book sweetheart and just walk away. 乂º‿^乂
I'm beginning to wonder... I've seen so much arguing and disagreements over one subject. This is silly for all of the folks fighting. My philosophy is block when you have to ignore what's bugging you and move on. Life is to short to sweat the petty crap. Enjoy the friends you've made on this site and have fun.
I was never on SH people always ask who I was on that site, I came over from FB after Dru invited me. I've met some really great folks. The ones I don't like I ignore. Most of the they are not worth my time.
I blocked someone over a week ago, for her sake as well as mine. I was accusing her of things and I felt we both needed distance from one another. It was only to be for a few days.
But she made things much worse by attacking me on several posts.
By blocking her, I truly found out what kind of person she really is. Petty, vindictive, and abusive.
Nobody. If someone bothers me, I just ignore them or respond with "K" whenever they type something to me. It usually gets them to stop bothering me after a while.
If I'm blocked I don't know it. My feelings are you can't miss it if you don't care. It falls under the catagory. How I'm going to miss you if you never go away???😊
Nobody.
I don't think anyone has ever blocked you...and you've never blocked anyone, either...
And I understand that...
In this case they are blocked...and it feels sooooo goooddd...
On SodyHead blocking was never much of a topic for discussion.
yet
Some people. I prefer not talking about them after they are blocked, unless I'm explaining why I blocked them. Even then, I prefer not saying names.
Okay... Explain why you blocked them then...without mentioning names...
It's very simple. I block people for immaturity, cruelty and insanity (or just trolls or socks). If I see someone that fits on these categories chances are I'll ignore them. And when ignoring becomes too much effort, I'll block them.
Good call.
IF I had anyone blocked, I wouldn't be naming them in the public forum.
Why not.
Because I find the vindictive public discussion of other members of a site very uncool, most always.
I'm with you on this one.
grabbing crackers and running away :)
It is cool if they deserve it.
I have no doubt, that some of us think certain other members " deserve it". I don't happen to think giving into the impulse is cool in most instances, as far as continuing with vindictive actions and/or comments.
I hope that's okay with you, Sukie.
I know what you mean...but on the other hand being a hypocrite isn't great either... Piper...lol...
Should events or circumstances ever change I trust people to be mature about it. Unlikely but still.
That is something we definitely agree on, Sukie, the being a "hypocrite" part.
Nobody at the mo. 乂º◡º乂
A lot of socks who are no longer here.
Oh, a day without socks, is like a day without sunshine. LOL!
But I've never seen you fall out with anyone John! 乂 ᴼₒᴼ乂
LOLZ. 乂^◡^乂
:'(
That works too! ...said Dorothy Parker...
Only two. I'm not on here enough to care.
Just the drama queens and troublemakers.
They know who they are.
Bingo. Even that doesn't give some the hint to move on and away from you.
Some people just won't take a hint.
If they are blocked or ignored they should leave you alone.
I know a building does not have to fall on me to take a hint like that.
I think blocking to some is only a challenge for them to try and still get your attention. Makes no sense to me Bee.
I don't want any attention from the people I block.
Who does?
Lol
I have a couple of people blocked. They are always bitter and derogatory.
And Lorraine: I gave you once last chance not to be abusive to animals.
I haven't blocked anyone. I don't like to block. However, if I HAD blocked someone I would not name them in a public forum. That's just wrong. Too much like bullying, and I despise bullies.
I don't like to block either, but sometimes people need a rest from one another.
I understand. I can just ignore them. I understand that some people don't find that as easy as I do.
I must admit I am one of those people. I can get baited easily, like a certain politician we all know. Except, we're not on Twitter. :)
Wish I could like that comment 1000 times! Fortunately, I can walk away. The internet just isn't that important to me. Some people look at it a bit differently though. That's good because being different is what makes us all so interesting.
Well, that is one quirk of mine, that I could do without.
But I am working on it. :)
Sometimes ignoring them is the best way.
It's not bullying. It's open disclosure. It's being upfront rather than secretive...and stabbing people in the back.
I invite people to discuss it; get it all out in the open.
I disagree. And on most sites it is against the terms of service to publicly name and/or shame other members. And it IS bullying when you invite others to chastise those they have blocked.

Again...I repeat. See my previous comment. You are overreacting.

Obviously it is an interesting, thought provoking question since it seems to have touched a nerve.
Bullying and openly chastising others always hits a nerve with me. It's a move made by weak people with low self esteem just to make themselves feel better. Good job.
You are provoking and chastising me. According to you that makes you a bully.
I see you are having a hard time grasping the concept, so I'll leave you to it.
As are you.
Amirite needs lots of types of people to make this an engaging, interesting site. There's room for your type, too.
My heart goes out to you for your "bedwetting" problem. Perhaps when you graduate 6th grade the problem will go away.

Oh I'm done with you. not worthy of my time. Now watch me walk away. lol

We never...as I mention above...discussed blocking much on SodaHead...did we?
I was never on SH people always ask who I was on that site, I came over from FB after Dru invited me. I've met some really great folks. The ones I don't like I ignore. Most of the they are not worth my time.
Scammers
No one.
Nobody at the moment.
I blocked someone over a week ago, for her sake as well as mine. I was accusing her of things and I felt we both needed distance from one another. It was only to be for a few days.
But she made things much worse by attacking me on several posts.
By blocking her, I truly found out what kind of person she really is. Petty, vindictive, and abusive.
Looking at this post, nah.
Just shares the same irritating personality quirks.
Rise above it move on. It's a shame when you find out the friendship wasn't that strong to begin with.
I moved on after I actually hit the button. But when I get attacked on a post, I will retaliate, blocked or not.
I agree. If you feel they are worth it. Usually I find they are not OVO. LMAO
OFO, she was not worth it, but it still was fun.
I don`t have anyone blocked.
Nobody. If someone bothers me, I just ignore them or respond with "K" whenever they type something to me. It usually gets them to stop bothering me after a while.
If I'm blocked I don't know it. My feelings are you can't miss it if you don't care. It falls under the catagory. How I'm going to miss you if you never go away???😊
Yeah... Lol... It's just a post...
A couple of people that had me blocked and i didn't have the slightest idea why,so when they finally unblocked me...i returned the favor..
Then there's the straight jacket types...when ignoring turns into work..
I have no idea who would block you either; it'd be like blocking God.
Haha I like ya style! 乂^◡^乂
on here? don;t think I had anyone blocked
