I-... Pretty much block anyone who gives me a genuine reason to. I've given up on reports and it's-... Well. It's my ticket out of triggering and upsetting situations; I honestly can't bear to explain why certain subjects are taboo to everyone who deems it appropriate to crack a rape joke. If someone says something that rubs me up the wrong way, I'll instantaneously block them-- even if it's not aimed at me. I blocked some people earlier this afternoon for calling those at the Mate Center 'pathetic, immature no lifers'-- I'd never want to interact with the person behind the insults, and a block guarantees I'll never need to see them again.
Whether it's extreme powerplaying, harassment, inappropriate topics, character theft, rude behaviour, name-calling, passive-aggressive "
honey, darling, love, hun"s, pompous literates, extreme wolfspeak -... Anything I dislike, I'll block. It might be a bit over the top to some, but it's an honest life-saver to someone with anxiety troubles. If I don't want to deal with someone's harassment, I won't need to-- I can just block and they won't ever find out (announcing that you're blocking someone is a
very bad thing to do). Minimum drama, minimum fuss.
Everyone uses the tool in their own way!
(I'd hate to know how big my block list is-- I think it's in the hundreds.)
