Uses of the block feature

I thought we should catalogue them!

#1 - avoid answering reasonable questions

#2 - convince yourself that you're important and your topics matter

#3 - devolve entire forums into more manageable cliques of people who never disagree with you.

 

What else, then?

Thanks for the heads-up.  But why are you posting in my topic, if I'm so disagreeable you had to block me?

Wow, we've managed to draw in blocking royalty to elucidate his reasons!  Now, if only we could have Neff and Windows join in, we'd really understand the blocker's soul...

I am considering blocking someone just to see if #8 is true. Do you get a rush or what is meant by "to have fun?"

#10 you didn't understand someone's post, which automatically means it is an insult

Not most people's definition of it.  Discussions usually have more than one point of view.  You don't see me blocking anyone who just disagrees with what I say.  Just if they tend to attack me personally.  Or try to hijack any of my topics.  There is a difference.


Which one applies to my blocking, and which to TheGrobe's, then?
