Eric Sammon's point is that it's fine to block people who are obnoxious. It will lower your blood pressure to just go ahead and do it.

In another forum I just automatically block anyone, even if I otherwise agree with them, who drops an f-bomb. Their blocked. Too bad. So sad. Gone.

I find that *ignore* is quite helpful as well as far as forums are concerned.

I just usually just skip over people I don’t like,or sometimes read their posts then ignore what they have to say.

I block people every day—anyone who is crude and only wants to argue for ego's sake. You can hear my door banging shut. Sometimes, if they are nasty, I let them know I am blocking them. I have several blocked here at CF.

The unfettered snark is your first clue. Can’t stand it. :sick:

Blocking someone is like your own personal way of banning them. Sometimes I go though my ignore list and wonder why I blocked that person, take them off ignore, and then after a few exchanges remember why I blocked them.

Where did all these people come from?
I block anyone who posts anti Catholic bigotry on FB. Makes my blood pressure. Also many from school who deeply hurt me. And other trolls.

How do you even do that? Does this involve group blocking?

I have an account on X. Every day I get women following me on my mostly geopolitical account. They have few or no posts. Their account photo mostly consists of a head shot from behind. Instant block. I assume that at some point they will try to funnel me over to their Only Fans account.
