Or it could mean that I don't want to extend the effort to read around them, hey if they are gone with a push of a button, how freaking great, can I have that ignore button right next to the buzzer to the door?

Blocking to me says you don't have enough will power to just skim over what they say. Like driving a mile around your local McDonalds cause you know your gonna have to stop for a greasy double if you don't.

And this is wrong? How about it's not what you would do, but if it works for someone else go for it.

In response to the OP, yep I've blocked, and will again. There are some people I simply block on this side because their posts are so freaking long winded!

I'm ok with your version of cowardly and what else did you call me? Weak? If using tools that are designed to support people is weak or cowardly, I can live with that. Heck, I've been called worse. I'll keep my hide button here, right next to my calendar (cause I'm forgetful doncha know) and my to do list (also forgetful) and my map (hard to find where I'm going), etc.

I think there is a certain wisdom in knowing what is and isn't supportive of you and using it.

And, it's not like I *couldn't* read what they say, it's that I choose to not put myself in that environment. I've seen enough horror in my life that I want happiness and rainbows as much as possible. If I can close my eyes so that I don't see vomit and blood and hatred, I'm gonna close my eyes. I'm ok with that. I've walked through the vomit and blood and hatred enough to know that exposing myself to it doesn't help me one little iota. And let's face it - life throws enough vomit and blood and hatred at us as it is. I'm ok with using CM as a place that is positive for me rather than a negative rat hole that trolls and bitter, mean spirited people try to make it.

If I were in a club and I really like it, and there was a door that said SCAT ROOM, I wouldn't open the door. I don't need more crap in my life, thanks very much. If that makes me a coward and weak, again, I can live with that. I'll just stay in the bar drinking martinis (dirty, Grey Goose, in case you care) with my peeps.

It reminds me of that old story of the guy who falls into the hole... Thanks, I'll walk down a different street and put up a road block, thanks very much.

best,
sunshine

I have a few on hide, mainly because they have proven over and over again that they are A) here to spew hatred, B) live to just piss people off with their stupid conspiracy theories about everything, C) only post news links because they can't come up with something original, or D) their grammar, spelling and/or typing skills make my eyes hurt to try to read it. And I don't mean the folks who don't speak English as a first language....I'm talking about people who are just too illiterate to be in possession of a keyboard.

Actually, there are a few also that fit the above criteria, yet they don't post like the others do, so they are pretty easy to skim over. If they were to start posting more, I'd hide 'em.

Weak? Yeah, whatever, at least I'm in good company.....*nods to sunny!*

Idiots abound, and not just on the CM fora. I, too, like to know what they are up to. It provides some needed humor in my stressful day.

Toxic people, and especially toxic relatives who one cannot easily avoid, are another matter. You have to learn how to deal with them with getting toxic yourself. Sometimes that means ignoring them.

In general, I would say anyone who experiences a toxic tremor to something a stranger said on CM is taking things way too seriously. And perhaps spending too much time here? There is a great, big, wonderful world out there.....go enjoy it.

Who is everyone responding to in this thread, anyway? I'm missing something...

Seriously, there's only one person I ever blocked here. One of the most exasperating right-wing idiots over in the Politics forum. I blocked him for several months, because his favorite trick was to take over every thread he posted in and turn it into a whinefest about how all the nasty liberals were always picking on him. I didn't block the sonofabitch because I hated him (although it's true that I did), but because I found that the threads were much easier to read if you took his posts out of them. Block out his crap, and suddenly threads that had been nothing but flamefests were suddenly about whatever it was that they were about.

I was amazed at how well it worked. You could just read them continuously, from beginning to end, without having to mentally edit out the whining. Worked wonders.

Ha! You know exactly what I mean-you're just being difficult, Mr Contrarypants. I didn't say it was what you lived for, I said it was what you were here for. We both know you do other stuff away from that computer too.

And what is it with the men on this site and my hair? You, Crazy and Peon-you're obsessed. And two out of the three of you have never even seen it, so you're in no position to comment on its lop-sidedness.

(Seriously, though. I get that you kind of enjoy the rows on here. Not everyone does, and that doesn't make them weak-just people with different priorities.)

I think I've only ever blocked one, years ago, a guy that fancied himself a sheikh or something. I allowed him to get to me. I learned from that to not allow anyone here to bother me. Idiots are here for me to laugh at. Some times asshole are my favourite posters.

I haven't even considered blocking/hiding anyone on here since that first twit.
