moving on from another thread
Most of us block at some point but how do we feel when it is you that's been blocked (maybe for no apparent reason).
For me, I'm quite happy to be blocked...I dont take it personally. You can't please all the people all the time.
How do you feel? |

99% of the time I don't care. If it's someone who's thrown their toys out of the pram it bugs me that they chose not to have a conversation and remove ill feeling. I don't do grudges in real life so this online thing baffles me sometimes.

There and to the left a bit |
Doesn't bother me in the slightest if it's a random person who I've either never interacted with or, as has been the case, someone I've disagreed with on the forums.
If it was someone I had exchanged messages with and otherwise got along with, I might wonder why |

Seriously I have not got anyone blocked.
In all the years I've been here I may have blocked about three and that was because they were obviously VERY OBVIOUSLY suffering mental problems and were problematically insistent.
I have now n then discovered that i'm blocked. I don't waste time thinking about it. |

"I don't mind being blocked at all.
What I do mind is getting messages with insults then blocking me so I can't reply with my usual :nice anus on you.
"
For me to block before giving someone the right of reply is rude. |

It depends on the reasoning. If it's someone I've never spoken to or told I'm not interested in it doesn't bother me.
If it's someone I've been talking to who has taken something the wrong way or made assumptions about me then it frustrates me because I don't get to have my say.
I the grand scheme of things though they don't want to talk to me ergo I don't want to talk to them. |

I rarely block anyone myself but under those circumstances I would. |

It bothered me in the beginning. I always thought I'd done something Wrong so spent my time thinking of what I'd written on forums if I'd upset someone. After a while I realised it's just a filter for people I don't match with so it's all good  |

I have discovered the importance of the counterblock. Had a guy ages ago, didn't like something I did so ripped into me (this was someone on my list to meet). Fairly brutal, then blocked me. OK. Months later I find him noseying around my profile. No message, but lots of views. There are some things you don't come back from, so I now always counterblock the worst ones. |

This is the only time I have ever blocked is when I don't like a forum personality and I'm equally happy if they dont like mine.

Not bothered at all. I block guys all the time, serval a day and it's usually because they failed to read my very clear instructions at the begining of my profile. Other times it's just that they had messaged me... I never responded... Then message me again the exact same message a week later when I may have changed my profile pic... Quite handy not to delete messages for this reason alone.
Mind I would get super upset if trim blocked me. Other than that I could not care less about being blocked. |

I'm not bothered about it. I block for no apparent reason myself.
She's a bitch... Block! She's up her own arse... Block! Attitude problem... Block! Likes BBC... Block! Mentioned "all night sex"... Block! 1000 veris... Block! You get the idea.
I'm also blocked by some people as I come across as a judgemental, arrogant bastard. It's cool with me though.

I only know about it when some turnip has sent me a shitty message and blocked me so I can't reply, I think. Anyone else, if it comes up, I assume I blocked them  |

If it's someone I've never interacted with, I don't mind at all. You can't like everyone blah blah.
If it was someone I'd been getting on well with/met I'd be upset but then realise it's more a reflection of their current mood/overall grumpiness and it's not on me. |

I'm liking that, it can be a reflection of just how they're feeling at nothing personal. Good attitude I think. |

A smile is always good better than getting frustrated by it. |

I use the block button for a few reasons, but ultimately it's because I no longer want to talk to that person.
They've probably said or done something that's been rude enough (in my opinion) to warrant my action. Which us why I don't really care whether people think it's rude or not.
I also block men who show repeated and excessive interest via fab button. My profile is quite clear most of the time. |

It is what it is. Simply someone removing you from contact. I think some folk find something personal and insulting in everything. We occasionally block ppl to remove any drama, either guys who haven't read the profile and are rude or just forum twats who we've had bad experiences with or folk where we'd rather they didn't know too much our business. It's not personal or aggressive it's just a block and it's within everyone's power to apply.

If I’m blocked it just means that we obviously are not compatible with each other so it’s a good thing. I do tend to counter block. The reason being is that people can change their minds about blocking and if they think I’m incompatible enough to block me one day then nothing I say or do another is going to change that. I’d rather we did not have the ability to contact each other |

Usually not fussed. A forum regular from miles away that I’ve never spoken to, or interacted with in any way, blocked me. Which I find odd. We were never going to meet.
A couple I got on with like a house on fire, I thought, blocked me after I’d been to a wild party. Feel there should have been a clarifying message first,manners and all that. The rest of them, pffft. |

It doesn’t bother me as it’s generally someone I’ve said no to or has been abusive to me. I’d rather concentrate on my friends. |

I have quite a long block list, and I'm sure I'm on a lot of people's too.
Doesn't bother me in the slightest but does intrigue me when I click on someone's profile for the first time and see they've blocked me without contact. |

Doesn't bother us. If someone blocked us - we're not for them. End of.

I share your sentiments here Rubidoux! It doesn’t bother with the exception of being blocked after a while of chatting.
That said, half the site are on my block list for a number of reasons, not usually anything personal - usually just because they’re not my kind of people |

I do interact with people we've blocked and who have blocked us on the forums. Just because we don't want to meet with each other for whatever reason doesn’t mean we can't exchange opinions on the forum in a civilised manner.

It doesn’t bother me. Although the ones that block, unblock, block etc are a little annoying. My block list is empty. There’s no reason to block anyone. Tis just a website. My profile isn’t that interesting that I need to expel people from it. |

Understanding. Sometimes it's for nothing (in my opinion) other than said person doesnt fancy you. Save the chance of being harassed and hassled by the person. It doesnt bother me |

I've only really found out when I've received abuse via pm and only realised I was blocked when I tried to reply.
All because I gave a crap review for a holiday bar which was being discussed on here, too.

There someone in the forum that’s blocked me who I’ve had zero interaction with, so it was a bit of a surprise, but I block people local to me that I don’t like the look of, so they don’t show up in searches. I block people who look at me too often who I don’t like the look of... so yeah, can’t blame them |

Repeat viewers can be really creepy, I had some on the old singles profile and we have a few on the new joint profile already, they don't say anything, just view you several times a day 
Just say hi or leave, innit! |

You don't go round saying horrid stuff in the forum and I doubt you'd do it in private. I imagine you read profiles before messaging the people.. And intelligent enough to think about what you write. So why expect more blocks? You're a top man Witch doctor.. You may put yourself down, but you're quite a popular person on here for good reason. Have Faith brother |

Hello Beach bar in Fuerte, apparently it was a swingers joint for a time so people were a bit prissy about it.

I mostly don't care. Much rather know that someone isn't interested and it prevents any "miscommunication"
Only bothered by one block and that is because I caused it by being an idiot. Top tip, never use fab under the influence of too much alcohol... |
