:) I see someone decided to use the tools and block me.
Good for them. Life is too short. If my existence online is annoying to others, I'm genuinely glad they're ridding themselves of the problem.
I strive not to block folks myself, because I think constructive dissent is something we need more of, but rarely have opportunities to practise. It's not always pleasant for others to watch, though (I got a few worried DMs during this last exchange), so apologies for that discomfort to all of you!
@MLClark Some people don't want genuine dialogue and abhor dissent.All they want is for you to agree with them. Sadly had to block several here recently for that.
Dissent can be difficult when it's tied into trauma: sometimes safety matters more, so no broader dialogue is possible. And with many current, painful situations in the world, personal investment is just never going to make keyboard commentary tolerable for some.
That said, I'm sorry it's been such a rough go, finding opportunities for genuine dialogue. If you ever want to throw down with me over something I've posted, please do! Otherwise, I'm glad to still have you around. 👌🏻
@MLClark Oh I'll be here for quite some time yet.Anyone who fancies being argumentative or insulting to me and I have a very rapid block finger.😂 I've had some of the best conversations here than any other SM platform.Unfortunately there is a very small bunch of peeps here who seem to take enjoyment in being arsey just for the sake of it.I'd love to know exactly how many here have them blocked,guessing it's a lot.👍
