Do you have a criteria for what qualifies as block-worthy offence or are you just doing it when you feel like it?
Bonus question: how long is your block list?

You don’t find it limiting you can only talk to people who fit your understanding of acceptable conversation?
I’m open to talk with anyone. It’s only after they demonstrate their uncivility that I block them.
Have you considered though that people are only a certain way for that bit of time. Essentially, they could be rude one day a year, and you got them on that day. Is it worth blocking the rest of it? What’s the cutoff?
Oh absolutely. A huge number of the people I’ve blocked are probably perfectly decent people and I just happened to notice them write that one snide response.
However, I’ve quite often seen blocked people commenting to me and I’ve logged out to read the comment and I’d say about 50% of the time it has been a mean comment only proving that I blocked them for a good reason. I also sometimes go thru the modlog and a huge number of the the users I see there I have already blocked.
I agree with your point though. You’re right, I just don’t care. There’s so many people here that when I block someone there’s another to take their place. There’s just too much to pay attention to.
Thats fair, I’m here for the different perspectives and opinions, so I have noone blocked right now.
Even trolls give honest answers if you ask why enough, its interesting to learn how people think.
