· Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 02:42:45 @ramsey I think what you mean is that someone doesn't have the right to *Demand* something that isn't owed to them. It's an important distinction to make. |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 02:45:40 @steve I don’t think I said anything about not having the right to *ask* for something you are or are not owed. I only said they don’t owe you a reason. |

Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 04:09:15 @mpjgregoire @steve I completely disagree. Often, I want to block someone without them knowing I blocked them. How is it graceful to tell someone I’m going to block them, especially if they’re causing me any distress (whether knowing or unknowingly)? |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 04:41:55 @ramsey @mpjgregoire Honestly I don't think I understand the blocking people mindset. It doesn't matter how wrong someone is, or how hurtful their words may be, I can't see myself ever blocking anyone. I have blocked spam bots now and again. But their just bots, not people. I really don't like myself when I'm disrespectful to people; Even when they're far worse to me. |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 04:50:45 @steve @mpjgregoire How is it disrespectful to block someone? If someone causes you any form of distress, block them. Life’s too short, and not everyone deserves your attention. |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 05:10:10 @ramsey Wouldn't you rather receive such a message than a silent block? If you'd prefer such a message from another person, then wouldn't it be gracious of you to send a similar message in the appropriate circumstances? |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 05:54:25 @mpjgregoire @steve It does not matter to me if someone chooses to block me for any reason. Most of the time, I would probably never notice. |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 18:44:08 @ramsey @steve It doesn't bother me that I was blocked and I appreciate his telling me why — though I don't think I wrote anything unreasonable or impolite in this case. |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 05:48:04 Ghosting someone is disrespectful. It's not the blocking. It very literally adds insult, to injury. Sometimes there may be reasons to insult. I think we should try to avoid pettiness. |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 05:52:38 @steve @mpjgregoire I’m not talking about people who are in a relationship. I’m talking about strangers online. |
Föderation EN Mi 03.07.2024 06:12:21 Whatever the relationship, the behavior is the same. And I didn't mean to imply the reason I don't block is out of respect. I can see how you thought that, and apologize for the mid understanding. The reason I don't block, is my belief that nothing was ever fixed with less information. |
