[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7337703, member: 23751"] A few things. First, the conversation is just as over between us when they block me, even if I can see them and their posts. Second, it's not about post count. I didn't even list post count as one of the things that gets disrupted. I couldn't care less if you see 21 pages and I see 20. Third, it's not occasional. It's almost every thread as posters post all over the place. Fourth, there are entire threads that I can't even enter, let alone have thread count issues. The mechanical aspects are not a minor inconvenience. (FWIW, I do think that defining this as "bullying" is ... not a great argument. Again, just my opinion, but you don't win arguments on the internet, and you never convince people by trying to define terms such that you win - especially when they are likely to disagree with you on those definition. Then you just end up arguing about definitions, and that's never fun.)[/QUOTE] This is not about me winning or losing.
