If you find yourself blocked by enough people that it's making it hard for you to engage in threads, then that is the feature working as intended, and I have zero tears to shed for you. That's the bed you've made yourself, and you're gonna have to lie on it
Yeah, maybe, maybe not. I’ve been blocked for making a crack about Thomas Kinkaid, and I’ve been blocked for telling someone that mentioning Allah in a 1001 Nights adaptation adventure isn’t inappropriate.
Sure, some blocks are because I was being overly aggro in an argument, but I rather doubt that everyone who is experiencing annoying issues with the feature are just massive jerks.
Besides, some of the issues I’ve had were because I quote multiple people in one post, and the first person had the second person ignored, and so thought my second reply was also to their post. The implementation isn’t good.
It isn't, though. Probably 80-90% of those who have me blocked initiated contentions interactions with me and then couldn't handle what they started and blocked me. The other 10-20% didn't like watching those interactions and shut it down just to avoid it, which I can respect. I can't respect the hypocrisy of the rest and those weren't a bed I made. If I started the contentious interactions, I could agree with you on this.
Being fair, you (and I, both) do have a tendency to just not let a thing go, past the point where anyone else involved is still engaged. I’ve only ever temp-ignored you, but it was for that every time, never because I “picked a fight and couldn’t handle the response”.
But yeah people block for all sorts of reasons, most of which don’t indicate anything significant about the blocked person.
