A sad incident. Having to block a mylotter.

This is the first time I have to block someone in the years I have been writing here. Although I have stopped reading and answering some lotters (when I realize that they answer without reading what I have written) I do not block them because they are entitled to write what they want and I´m entitled not to answer them. But when a person uses capital letters and ends up with an angry emoticon, I find it rude. I was doing to just answer it when I realized that he had told the same to every lotter who had answered him. So, it was not my fault for not having understood, although there are many ways of commenting. And on top of it all, the rude answer was a copy paste to everyone. So, after some thoughts, I said "delete". I had been following him. I first unfollowed him. But then, after reading all the answers, I thought it wasn´t enough. So it was click click, unfollow and block. Pity.

I discovered yesterday that someone has blocked me and I don't even really know who they are. Oh well.......

I know perfectly well the person I blocked. I did not think like him in many ways, but I respect other people´s thought. But this was not even a different way of thinking.

@JohnRoberts Some minor transgression, in the blocker's eyes, no doubt. Never fear, nor shed a tear!

@pgntwo Many people who answered were shocked by his comments.

Did you also use the "report" option? This will alert MyLot to the fact that somebody is abusing the system.

No, I didn´t. If someone else feels in need to do it, then it is fine. He answered the same to at least 5 people out of 7, including a couple of good friends of mine.

You did the right thing. There is no reason for you to deal with someone like that.

Well, some people are like that. If that's what he's going to do, it's just not worth it. I would have blocked him as well.

@rakski I think that we are talking about the same person. At first I decided not to follow him any longer (I was following him) and then I kept on thinking and did not want to come across people like those, specially after discovering that he has written the same thing to everyone. So I blocked him.

@marguicha this is a first time for me too. I remembered yesterday I was happy to replied to his post but this morning I received his comment with bold letters and angry emoticon. I asked myself did I do something wrong? Then I noticed he replied the same with you and some more. Good thing you post this. I am actually wondering what to do, I do not follow him which is good.

What a shame. There is really no excuse for that type of behavior. If they don't like what you are writing they can just not read it. Had sad.

It was more than that. He said I had not understood his post (in rude words), the same words he used for other people here. Then he ended his comment with an angry emoticon.

@marguicha I don't understand why people have to become so rude. If he keeps it up he won't be here mush longer.

Writing in all big letters is just like shouting. How much more ending it with an angry emoticon. I will block him too if he does that to me. You did what was appropriate for a rude person.

If they are just copying & pasting replies, they're not really participating anyway.. Craziness

I agree. But besides that, the comments were rude.

Shouting is never appreciated. I have found some who take exception to this emoji though: . Dunno why - myLot provide it, I'll use it, where the comment merits it.

I don't think I have any active Mylotter blocked.m I blocked someone several years ago. The Mylotter had their account deleted by administration soon after. I hope I haven't answered you rudely.

The reason I have to block some people in the discussion groups is that when I try to enlighten them with facts, they act like I am some of kind of crazy person.
