Is Blocking Someone On MyLot Really A Bad Attitude?

I fully agree with @thehousewife. We need a serious reason to block someone. Not having the same ideas is not a reason.

A few weeks ago I was having a good conversation with someone, then they got frustrated because I disagreed with their opinion and cited a source of my own to back my argument, and then they called me a know-it-all with a brain deficiency, and blocked me. I consider that to be hateful and highly immature. All I was doing was having a conversation, and they took it as an offense, and had to get the last word in. If that is your reason to block someone, then you really need to retire from life in general. Because lots of people will have different opinions. It's a reason to learn. Plus a counter argument of 'nope, this is the reason' is not a good one. Two years ago, someone did the same thing with me, and blocked me after getting their last word in, insulting me, and claiming victory. I'm sad to see they still live (yes, very agitated because their insult was very mean). It was a colossal waste of time, because it had gone on for so long before they got immature about it.

I think blocking is immature. It's not hard to be the bigger person & just skip along or ignore the person.

I've never blocked anyone but I don't think I would want to shout about it even if I did. Not really my style.

it's better to avoid first then if they still argue better to block.

We all deserve peace! If you're been troubled by that person then it's fine, but if you feel that you guys share a different option, then it's wrong to block the person

I have found only one person that I just couldn't mesh with but I didn't block I just kinda ignore. lol Now if they started stalking, making ignorant comments or such then I would probably block and not care what they had to say.

Over the years I have blocked a few people for various reasons. Mostly I just unfriend them, but if they are stalking other members and/or threatening violence, I don't want to see that kind of activity on here. I have been on and off myLot for decades and seen a lot, but I get very busy and am absent a lot too. I just don't have time to keep track of people, not even those I like and respect on here, so if someone is misbehaving, I think blocking them is a good idea. It is a tool. It is meant to be used when appropriate. As for attitude issues, who cares what nasty people think? If they cared what the rest of us think, they wouldn't be annoying people.

I have done that but see no reason to block anyone. One can just ignore and move on.

I've never blocked anyone but I know some people get harassed with unkind/nasty remarks so I think in that case it's okay to block.

@nitirrbb7 Who knows why people block others. I believe and do not remember why and he asked me so I could answer his post to unblock him and I did.

Yes,it is attitudinal to block someone

I've been blocked because we had heated arguments. I got angry but I realized it's her own discretion and I just moved on.

Once I read an article that was about how to reduce everyday stress. One of the tips was to block people that frustrates us on facebook. I didn't block them, but I pushed hide from newsfeed button. Now when I watch my facebook feed, I won't see their posts anymore. And I have to say that it is better now.

Try your best to move on. Don't wanna block anybody, if they end up being pretty cool we can move on!! But U R not here to ruin your day!!!

That's personal wish...wanna block other go-ahead as it's your account ..
