This may seem like a strange question but I'm trying to figure out how to block someone here who has blocked me. This person blocked me quite some time ago because we have different views about the illegitimate POTUS, which I have no problem with differing opinions and I wasn't disrespectful to her, but now she's responding to my discussions and effectively keeping me from even reading the other responses to them.
Fine, she doesn't want me to engage with her so be it. I felt no need to reciprocate because I don't mind having someone disagree with me but I DO have a problem with not being able to read my own discussions!

Um...you can't block someone that blocked you, and the only part of your discussion you can not read is her response to it.
If it bothers you, report them to @GoAskAlice in a PM

I can't read any of the part of the discussion in which she participated apparently since others have responded but I can't see their responses. So, yes it bothers me, of course it does. I did nothing wrong and if I unintentionally offended her she could have let me know and I'd gladly apologize and not do whatever it was again. Except for respectfully and civilly expressing my opinion about the topic of whatever discussion it was in that is.

@anniepa Um...I'm sorry, but if it is your discussion, her comments do not block you from reading rsponses other people wrote. You can only not see her response and any comments in her response.

@anniepa Yes, alas. Thankfully, most people get on here on myLot - and anyone who doesn't want to play can sometimes be approached by a common follower, and the Block is often lifted... Some say that blocking happens spontaneously occasionally, a glitch... Who knows?

You have already been given sound advice by JJ and others. If you want to read what responses or comments the person who has blocked you has left, you have to log out of myLot and then go to the discussion in question and view it 'as a non-member'.
The easiest way to do this is:
1) Copy the URL of the discussion (select it in the address bar and press Ctrl+C)
2) Log out of myLot (bottom item on the menu under your username)
3) Paste the URL back into the address bar (Ctrl+V) and press Enter.
