8. cool, thanks.
I wonder if there will be a flurry of unblockings , or blockings, or new threads started, or no new threads started? This could be funny. Thank you for clearing up this confused moment.

25. I'm secretly pleased
The Balkanization of DU really sucks in my view--not being able to stand even -hearing- the views of those who disagree with you seems like such a fundamentally conservative trait. Denying them the ability to even respond to issues you bring up--I don't know how to describe that.

26. Balkanization is the right word
I know this issue has been talked to death so I won't bother getting into it again but in the end, it really is a solution in search of a problem..

27. I have no problem with seeing or hearing the view of detractors.
But once they are pwn3d and start bulling and teasing based on things like grammar and spelling they will never reply to a post of mine again. And also people who say stuff like "your the lowest form of human scum on earth" really don't offer anything to the topic at hand and will also never reply to a post of mine again.

I'm not taking this shit from anyone. High school was a long time ago for me but apparently some post are mentally still there.

3. what I wanna know is
how should one feel if they find out they are not blocked by anyone?

Should they be happy, or feel slightly left out, and somehow insignificant?

Forget about your post tally! We want to know how many people are blocking you!

9. I don't block anybody. If they feel the need to block me, so be it.

19. Agreed. Let the jackasses respond and continue to act like trolls.
Why block them indeed; "hoisted by their own petard" comes to my mind. :)

11. True, but I think it might make people think first before blocking someone no.
I know that if everyone could see who I block (i haven't blocked anyone) it might make it harder for me or said someone to do so.

12. Personally...
My comment was in jest, and I probably should have used the sarcasm thingy. I'm not crazy about the whole thing. But I've read some of the posts of members who have been cyberstalked, so I can see where the block function is useful for them. However, public lists are very intrusive! I dunno, I'm just trying to wrap my brain around the whole thing. I can't believe there are DU'ers going out there and trolling whole groups within DU and blocking them. My philosophy is live and let live. I live my life, you live yours! Unless it's totally degrading or predatory against a person who is incapable of making a decision (such as minors, and I realize with teens this is a gray area), or animals, I'm fine. Otherwise, I will fight for your rights, if they're not equal to everyone else's. I'll respect you, as long as you respect me.

13. Bwahaaaaaahaaaa!
That is the funniest thing I've seen

In 24 hours we will be able to see who's being blocked!

:rofl: :rofl:

Then we can decide whether to post in a thread based on who's blocking who?

this just gets weirder and weirder

15. I've got one poster on block
And that's because I found out they are running sock puppets here and on a couple of other sites.

And only two other people on ignore - just cause they p*** me off. The other person I had on ignore got a granite pizza, and if he was still posting he'd be blocked.

21. I don't know if I am on any block lists
though I don't know what I would have done to warrant being blocked by someone.

28. It's all a little childish in my opinion
I've never blocked or put anyone on ignore.

I just ignore them.

If there's a freeper lurking I hit the alert button but if somebody disagrees with me I'm not going to be a baby and block them so that only people that do agree with me can reply.

Maybe they should have an age requirement. We are all adults here....right?
