Should Blocking be stripped from GaG?

[OddBeMe]

I know you gals keep getting inundated with dck pics but you’ll have to deal.

And please don’t share nor discuss sizes with my pics. Lol

[Anonymous]

If you're getting blocked, you might want to take that up with the man in the mirror. Everything you post is meant to offend. That's all you got. You're not a person that can be liked. You just don't have that ability. And you know I'm right.

[OddBeMe]

Hey leave your witchy psychiatry out of this. And why aren’t you responding to my dick pics?

[Taffy1234]

Now you're blocked.

[PositiveFlight]

Those who block are entitled and lack the confidence or conviction to stand by their own ideas and opinions. Its crazy that they are so threatened by a differing opinion or viewpoint! But that’s what we are seeing with this generation. They get so offended that they want to silence and sensor others with which they disagree.

[kylee2437]

It’s pretty entitled to feel like your opinions need to be listened to all the time also.

[OddBeMe]

Yes! Not blocked.

[OddBeMe]

@kylee2437 we’re men.

[kylee2437]

@oddbeme men wouldn’t be on this site if they weren’t trying to express their opinions

[OddBeMe]

@kylee2437 isn’t that what a discussion is?

[kylee2437]

@oddbeme no this discussion is about people mistreated others on here and then wondering why they get blocked lol

[goaded]

What generation? I've been blocked by 59 and 68 year olds.

[Taffy1234]

Confidence? lol This is the second dumbest post of the day.

[PositiveFlight]

@kylee2437 I’m not holding you down and forcing you to listen to my opinions. Simply just move on. I’m not entitled to anything! I say what’s on my mind with conviction. I speak truth as I see it and therefore I don't make an apology if I offend. If people want to listen they can. If not, no harm done.

[kylee2437]

@positiveflight the issue with your mindset is usually people that say things like that go through lengths and act mean/ uncivilized towards others to prove their opinions. You aren’t holding proper accountability and are evading that your delivery of your opinions may be an issue.

[PositiveFlight]

@kylee2437 How am I acting “mean“ or “uncivilized“? So if I have a strong argument and conviction when someone else can’t defend their position or stance, that’s the equivalent of being mean or uncivilized in your mind? If a person presents an opinion based on facts or an educated and methodical set of arguments, even if such facts are offensive, thats uncivilized? I’m trying to figure out how in this day and age words became so much of a threat to people!

[kylee2437]

@positiveflight again, delivery is everything. And when things get heated, people start to spazz and someone has the right to exit out of a conversation and block someone when they regularly come off aggressive. I debate a lot on this app myself and I’ve had to block some people on here due to how excessive they get and how often they would come to harass my comments for no reason

[PositiveFlight]

@kylee2437 I totally understand if someone is just trying to harass you. That is very different though versus having a conversation with someone and blocking them simply because you disagree with them. If you disagree, then present your argument with strong conviction. Generations before us were able to iron out differences and come together because they were able to communicate and have better understanding with one another. That doesn’t seem to be the case nowadays.

[kylee2437]

@positiveflights I think what bothers you more so is you feel like your opinion is rejected if someone blocks you, but at the end of the day, they have a right to.

[PositiveFlight]

@kylee2437 Of course they have a right to. And no it doesn’t bother me. The only thing that bothers me is that people won’t actually just listen and try to understand but rather just block when the argument gets tough. It’s a cop out

[kylee2437]

@positiveflight is an argument that important though to the point where someone copping out is bothering you? Lol like these arguments aren’t that important

[PositiveFlight]

@kylee2437 I’m just bringing attention to the mentality, that’s all.

[kylee2437]

@positiveflight I understand but that train a thought should be reflecting by accountability too

[Nikki1989]

@positiveflight It is not always about viewpoints. I am blocked by many people who I have never talked to or discussed anything with.

[MrNameless]

Nah, It's one thing to have a difference of opinion, but many harass others.. as ell as unsolicited pics. Either way, people should have the chance of blocking whoever they want.

[MrNameless]

As well as sending unsolicited pics

[Freyke]

I think blicking should stay because there are some horrible people out there. Not GaG alone, if you can filter them out it's good.
But many block because they have different views on things and that is just a lack of maturity in my opinion.

[OddBeMe]

You’re blicked.

[WilmaReportu]

You think it’s funny to say “You’re blocked” to people, but it’s not. This type of behavior is cyberbullying, and I won’t stand for it. I am WilmaReportu, and I’m here to make sure that you understand the consequences of your actions. I will not be ignored. You have been warned, and I will take action if you do not stop. I will report you. This could result in serious repercussions, such as being blocked. I’m not just here to threaten you. I’m here to educate you on the consequences of your behavior. Cyberbullying is serious and has serious consequences. You may think it’s a harmless joke, but it’s not. It can cause emotional and psychological damage to the victims. It can also have a lasting effect on their lives. So please, think twice before you say “You’re blocked” to someone. It’s not a joke. It’s serious, and I will not hesitate to block you if you don’t stop.

[OddBeMe]

@WilmaReportu you’re blocked too. And your daughter’s daughter…for three months.

[Freyke]

Blicking does sound happier.

[OddBeMe]

Sex act. You’d hate it.

[Freyke]

Why would you hate sex?

[OddBeMe]

Certain sex acts I’d hate. Scatting for instance.

[Avicenna]

Odd hates sex because he's an eunuch

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna don’t you have more rape threats to make elsewhere?

[Avicenna]

Now, Odd, I know you're trying to create a cover story for when you are pushing around a baby stroller with your wife's and another man's child in it, but you need to come to grips with the decision she made. You are one of the many millions of Texans who has no health insurance and all mental health professionals have refused to treat you, but you need to get some professional help, and pronto.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna you’re obsessed with raping my wife. Get a life.

[Avicenna]

Actually, Odd, your wife told me about your cuck fantasies of seeing her raped. I told her I don't do that sort of thing, even if it's merely staged, and I told her that she had to remove the camera that you used to watch her. I guess you can't help yourself- you're descended from plantation owners and overseers who raped with impunity. All of this means you need some serious therapy. Get a job so you can finally get health insurance.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna and what’s her hair color? Upstairs or down.

[kylee2437]

No you should be able to get rid of people possibly affecting your mental health

[OddBeMe]

You’re blocked.

[kylee2437]

@oddbeme hey whatever works for you.

[PositiveFlight]

Mental health? Seriously? Are you trying to say that someone with whom you disagree with might cause you mental health issues? If you are that sensitive, then heaven help you and anyone else like that. I’m sorry to break it to you but in the real world of reality, we as people should be able to always have discussions with which we disagree. It’s healthy and how mature adults are supposed to interact.

[kylee2437]

@positiveflight that is such a gaslighty response. There’s all different kinds of people on this app including autistic and such and yes stuff like this can mentally affect them depending. This is the problem with this site as a whole. People on this site treat each other like they aren’t human beings.

[kylee2437]

In the real world, I’m sure you don’t project your opinions angrily towards others because you are afraid of ass kickings

[PositiveFlight]

@kylee2437 Not once have I treated you less than a human being. Yes, I have been very direct and honest with you. But I have not called you vile names, disrespected you, or anything of the such. I have given you the courtesy to read every word you have typed. I have even tried to find common ground with you and agreed with you regarding people who harass. When someone is actually threatening you or harassing you, then of course you shouldn’t have to put up with it. I always treat people as human beings and I always try to find common ground when it’s possible. Again, it’s what two mature adults should do when it comes to communication. It’s OK to not sugarcoat things. It’s OK to be honest with each other when there is disagreement. And it’s OK to try to find ways to agree or better understand each other.

[OddBeMe]

@kylee2437 and I don’t project my arguments angrily unless confronted.

[kylee2437]

@positiveflight I never said you treated me terribly , but I feel like a lot of people that pitch arguments on here do not reflect on their responses

[kylee2437]

@oddbeme like I said with him, I didn’t have you did personally, but maybe you have said something that another person didn’t want to continue with. Taking getting blocked personally is a little odd lol like none of us know each other in real life

[PositiveFlight]

@kylee2437 Fair enough. I’m not saying I’m a perfect person. Every day is a new day to better myself. As I grow older, I’m always trying to refine my communication. I think just trying to understand one another better at times has great value. It’s a balance though because being able to be truthful and open with one another carries equal weight in value.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@kylee2437 you never know... i'm way more polite on here than in real life

[kylee2437]

@boopboopbeep sounds like a statement from someone that needs self reflection

[BoopBoopBeep]

@kylee2437 How do you figure? Clearly i'm self aware enough to know that about myself. How much more self-reflection do you think I need? Real life is different. People can ACTUALLY be a jerk there. People's actions here don't matter.

[kylee2437]

@boopboopbeep the better question is why are you self aware and aren’t willing to change?

[BoopBoopBeep]

@kylee2437 I already answered that. People can ACTUALLY be a jerk in real life. one reaps what one sows, and if you're going to be a jerk there you're going to get my rude streak. if you're going to be a jerk here it doesn't actually affect me so i don't care. Why would i want to change that?

[kylee2437]

@boopboopbeep sounds like a cycle. How do you know you aren’t coming off rude first? To each it’s own

[BoopBoopBeep]

@kylee2437 generally my interaction with others in society is limited enough that there's no room to mistake me being rude. I'm not rude if we're not interacting at all. should you decide to change that happy dynamic, and do so in an impolite manner, that's going to annoy me

[MrNameless]

No, quite the opposite. This site's way of dealing with blocking people is absolutely horrendous. Why should we see messages saying a blocked user's opinion is in a thread we're reading? Why not remove that notification altogether? It' sannoying.

[LazerBean]

No, but I do think the two people involved shouldn't be able to see each other's stuff.

[kylee2437]

This! Why does GAG allow users you have blocked to see the persons stuff after still? It’s infuriating

[richardcory]

What is wrong with blocking? If someone is receiving content they don't want, why should they have to waste tie digging through it?

[OddBeMe]

Well, I have an issue with fcks responding negatively to my questions and then instantly blocking me. Respond how you like. But don’t be a fcking pussy about it.

[rigmarole]

Nope, because the only option other than blocking dumb people like you is to turn off all notifications. Then people will just talk at you in opinion drops and never interact with you. All question answers will be set it and forget it. Deleting answers and opinions should be removed from the protocol. People should be able to say whatever the hell they want and it not be removed, but people that on't want to waste time interacting with them should also be ale to block them from interacting with them as if they walked away from a conversation in real life. You can still go in your own opinion and stand on a soap box all you want and say whatever you want.

[jshm2]

Platforms will not work if they don't have such features.

[OddBeMe]

You’re anti constitution!

[Dargil]

I think there should be a 30 day block period. Once it expires, it must be renewed.

[OddBeMe]

Ooh, good! I actually think that’s…correct. I’m freaking out.

[Dargil]

Every once in a while, I hit the target. Like a non-running clock.

[OddBeMe]

Well I’ll hit you up this time tomorrow.

[Jazzy54]

Absolutely not. I will not be harassed or trolled. Also, (unfortunately), blocking seems to be the only way some people get it.

[JustinTheGreat]

Nah. There’s been too many instances where weirdos got mad at a differing opinions and then proceed to comment on all my questions lol

i never used to block anyone. I’ve never gotten that offended or cared that much to use the feature. I also felt like blocking someone meant “they win”

but now I don’t care. I’ll block you for your presence simply annoying me. The site has been a lot more peaceful ever since.

[DiegoO]

Like in real life, the option to block people from your online interactions is a free decision everyone should be able to exercise.

[DarkLegacy]

Women block to easy especially if they are losing the argument or for prejudiced reasons. People should not be allowed to block on any social media unless they have a good reason and should get their accounts deactivated if they break the blocking rules.

[BigDog1989]

No, but I think it needs to be regulated. Ya know, common sense blocking

[AngryCarl2]

Maybe people are just blocking you because you're a jerk?

[OddBeMe]

Why do you think I’m asking this? So many have blocked me. And only a few dick pics. Jk, no dick pics. Yet

[Shamalien]

Maybe blocking for DMs should be allowed, but not for comments and posts

[OddBeMe]

That would add the needed protection for the women, as it were. Us men have to keep them safe. And send dick pics.

[Shamalien]

I imagine you’ve sent your fair share and want to keep spamming the poor ladies lol

[Sasahara]

Fine by me, but I think the ability to delete answers and replies are far more abused than blocking.

I have one dude blocked, because he blocked me yet I still saw his questions, so blocked him to stop seeing questions I can't answer.

[OddBeMe]

Can we do that? I can’t delete someone’s replies. Maybe mods can? I’ve seen that label on people.

[Sasahara]

@oddbeme Yeah you can, someone explained to me that if you press the three dots next to a replie on a answer to your questions or in a replie to your answer, and choose I don't want to see this, its deleted.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

No, I love blocking people

It gives me an indescribable joy to silence another persons opinion

It sometimes makes me feel like one of those kings who has his citizens publicly beheaded for speaking ill of his name

[OddBeMe]

You damn kids.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

We run this town old man!!!

[OddBeMe]

Ehh I’m tired. Go ahead.

[msc545]

Blocking is silly.

[strateguy632]

but the photos, how can you ignore the perverts sending nudes.

[msc545]

@strateguy632 They don't send them to me, so I don't care.

[OddBeMe]

@strateguy632 I tweet them and sell them to Japanese businessmen. So bring it on.

[Anonymous]

"We'll have to deal?" Umm... no, we don't have to deal with obscene conduct from strangers.

[Anonymous]

no goofy, why should someone be forced to see constant idiocy by the same person when they can just have them scream into the void. Its not about a difference of opinion if you go through the trouble of blocking someone, Its the constant annoyance of one person either intentionally ignoring your point or being creepy. Just from this dumbass question and opinion I can tell you're probably just a nuisance to most of the people who block you

[Anonymous]

I don't take the internet seriously to care 🤣
