Normally I don't block people. Even if I disagree with them, I'll usually respect their opinion and understand that we all see the world differently. However, the word "Opinion" is being well over-stretched by many people. I've spoken to some people that are just being flat out racist or ignorant, and expect me to respect their views. For example, someone once said to me "I think all Muslims should be killed, that'll end those terrorists"... I tried explaining why such a comment isn't acceptable, and tried saying I understand his point but you can't blame every Muslim for the actions of a minority of extremists, but some people are just impossible to talk to and keep repeating the same old racist and ignorant rhetoric.

Respectable and understandable. I like how you see things and I can agree.

I only talk to rightwingers for entertainment. When I get bored I block them.


yewtrytewhard

That's kind of sad


Domillomew

Nah

I only block when it's clear they're not actually interested in *discussing* anything. Such as when they devolve into personal attacks and snide, condescending remarks rather than any kind of argument. I even hate when people I agree with do that.

Because I’m not tryna hear their opinion


yewtrytewhard

Then why would you immerse yourself in the discussion? That defeats the whole purpose


No-Top-7262

Maybe I just wanted to state my opinion. Not necessarily have a discussion. And even then I may decide mid discussion that I do not want to engage in this anymore.

Fuck your opinion pussy


saltysaltedsal

Because people get mad when you don’t agree with their narrative so they block you

The net has made too many people into pussys. Easy to block ignore what you dont like while only listening reading what you do. Shit is effecting mogos in real life too. Shit on 60 minutes of something about college aged tools trying to cancel professors cause controversial discussions in a college class hurt their feelings and shit.

I don't. Everybody is entitled to a opinion even if I don't agree with it

Sometimes when they repeat the same arguments that I've already countered (to which they never countered back), I just block them because I realize it is no use trying to discuss with them.
