Borrowed from New Stalker Law thread.
Is it considered rude to block someone if they have not replied to your messages or if they do reply and indicate they are not interested for reasons of age preference or location or relationship status or whatever.
I don't believe it is rude and prevents accidental further contact with someone who doesn't want to chat or meet with you. |

Yep pretty much this. I don't see why it's such a big deal .If the person doesn't want anything to do with you than surely using the block button is useful. |

The block button is there to be used as any site user sees fit.
We've filtered men, have very few blocks (3) and I simply use the notes section on a profile to remind me of all sorts - so if you're not on my filtered or block list, it doesn't mean there isn't a whole novel written about you to let me know all I need for future reference and decisions  |

Block button is one of our favourite tools on here unfortunately.
We've come across our fair share of profiles taking up to much of our free time and waste it.
We have taken the unfortunate decision to block all males due to ignorance by the many which means that the few genuine boys on here can't msg  |

Well, by not responding, for whatever reason, that's effectively blocking you. If you block them it stops you from messaging again and becoming a pest. |

Block whoever you like, I’m blocked by people I’ve never even messaged before and I don’t lose any sleep over it. Just press the button ! It’s not that big of a deal |

100% not rude not to want to see people you've no interest in or who don't have any interest in you |

Never thought about using it to block people that arent interested in me, think I'll start doing that.....it'll be a big list so, hahaha (compensating laugh) 
Here's one, anyone meet anyone at a social/M&G get on with them and realise at a later stage they had blocked them on here?
Where you go from there.....dare to unblock or leave em in block embargo....? |

I've been blocked by a couple who were very polite about it. We chatted on here and they decided I wasn't what they were looking for so they said they were going to block me so I didn't appear on their local updates and they hoped I wouldn't take it personally.
I didn't and accepted being blocked.
A few years later we met at a social and they had forgotten why they had blocked me but they were happy to lift the block and verify me and we have chatted off and on since.
Most on my block list are there because they weren't polite or nice to start with so I would avoid them at socials and if they introduced themselves I would say hello and leave it at that.

Back when we went to socials it happened but we left them blocked for good reason |

I have met people at socials who had blocked me, mostly for age reasons, but once we met face to face and they realised I wasn't using a Zimmer frame they were more than happy to unblock me and a few of them are now regular chat buddies.

by a lake with my rod out |
People I've blocked stay blocked whether or not I meet them in person after. The few times I've met blockees in person it validated the reason why I blocked them.
PS I block for all manner of reasons. But mainly because I don't think we'd get on or because to they have blocked me too |

I will have to remember not to attempt to strike up a conversation if I am out for a hike and I see someone by a lake with his rod out.

I've only the one on my block list and he deserves it, he has pics and videos of me and I've heard he has shown on chat groups and keeps making up new profiles, hence why I don't do chat groups anymore |

I was chatting to a woman on here great conversations and then boom got blocked, she was single then owned by a “dom” the when they finished up she unblocked me and we chatted again to my stupidity, then she was owned again by a “dom” and blocked me again, I think the world needs to block these people rather then them being able to block you , |

You know you can block people that block you anyway |

There are more than one kind of "Dom" on here.
Some people cannot hack the competition so they advise their "friends" to block you and unfortunately some people will acquiesce for fear of being taken off social invite lists or being blocked themselves.
Small minds and big egos often go hand in hand.

I have people blocked mostly because we agreed that it was going to go nowhere as not compatible for whatever reasons.
I have never been asked/told to block anyone ever. I am not in any 'groups' per sec but even if I was, I have a mind of my own and can make decisions about people myself!
Seriously though, do people on her actually ask people to block others?
It's not primary school.....surely adults here make their own minds up about someone?
If a 'friend' asked me to block so-and-so cause he was a dick, I would probably block the person that asked me as they were being a bigger dick. Lol
Just my tuppence worth  |

Unfortunately I know through personal experience that it does happen.
One of the sadder sides of what is otherwise a fun site to be on.
But it takes all kinds and none of us are perfect.

"Ppl have blocked us that we have said no to … and we have had to block ones that can’t take no for an answer too so it’s a handy tool "
Exactly the way use it. If someone doesn't want to interact with me, I black them. I'm the type of person who will respond to everyone if only as a mannerly courtesy. Someone who isn't that way inclined is probably not going to float my boat anyway. |
