A thought from Mickys thread.
Well you can't please all the people all the time.
Do ever wonder how many you've pissed off and been blocked by.
Or they just don't like your style.
Does it bother you? |

I think I’ve blocked far more than have blocked me! Does it bother me.... not in the slightest! Those I connect with I chat with.... |

Same with me recently. First one where I noticed i’d been blocked. Obviously due to differing opinions on a recent thread. I can still be friends with someone or converse with them if I have a different opinion. It amused me a bit to be honest. |

I've probably pissed off, and been blocked by dozens of people
Does it bother me? No. They have their reasons
Only 1 person, I've ever wondered about.
We met at a group social, chatted for ages, had a good laugh
Went to write a veri the next day, and found I was blocked.
This person still interacts with me on the forums, so I really have no idea why |

Actually... it does bother me a little bit sometimes and makes me feel paranoid and doubtful about myself... considering that I’ve been on here for years... |

Nah I’m not fussed. Sometimes I’ll click on a formite’s profile and realised I’m blocked. I’ll think ‘huh wonder why.’, counter block and never think about it again |

Considering how long I've been here, it's actually only a small handful. I've wondered about it before if we were friends at some point but then you don't know someone else's mind and life happens. The other few? No, not really. We're not compatible in some way and it's a tool to be used. |

I’m only aware of people I actively don’t get on with and that’s fine. If it was someone random I’d not really interacted with yes it would probably make me wonder.. I’m pretty soft and an over thinker so wouldn’t like the thought I’d offended someone without intending to. |

I've never understood the point of that as it doesn't stop people interacting with you in the forums. |

From my point of view...
I came on here originally as part of a couple and meeting other couples...
Since being single, the responses have been very negative and not nearly as frequent |

Not at all, if they block me for having a difference of opinion then they probably aren't someone I'd want to converse with anyway. |

I’ve been blocked by a few people but it’s there loss I’m still meeting new people and enjoying myself. I’ve. Also had people block me and start a new profile and try to add me again as a friend but I’ve sussed them out and then blocked them. |

Not bothered in the least. I won't change my opinions or behaviour for fear of putting off people. If they've blocked me in all likelihood i've lost out on nothing anyway. |

Ditto. It's the only one I have wondered what I did.

I think it would only bother me if they'd been hurt by something I'd said, and it had been taken out of context.
I've no idea who's blocked me. Dry humour can offend I guess. |

To be honest I probably wouldn't notice. I've never clicked on a random profile and found I've been blocked. I guess it's less likely to happen as those I am interested in interacting with don't use the forum. |

When I started this profile I made a conscious decision not to block anyone. It doesn't really achieve anything as if someone wanted to see my profile they can do it via another easily achievable login.
If I notice someone has blocked me I don't get butthurt. People have their reasons and that is fine by me. Just another Fab day. |

Nope not at all, most of mine get pissed off with me having long conversations first and I am enjoying fun with the ones I actually have connected with from those conversations, it is a good screening process for me though, the ones I want to meet will persist through my barriers to play

My happiness is not quantified by likes on the internet.
I saw a documentary fairly recently about somebody who was in a girl band. I can’t remember the name of her or the band but they made their name on X factor/some other talent show. She had issues with her body and it was near distressing to see how much both positive and negative comments from total strangers affected her. |

I really feel for her and for anyone who is hurting. |

There and to the left a bit |
Can honestly say it has never occurred to me to wonder about how many, or who has blocked me, occasionally I'll come across a profile that has done so, but don't give it more than a moments thought - some block because they want to rule you out of searches, some because they don't think you're a good match and some because they think I'm an arse - whatever the reason it doesn't bother me at all.
In fact the only time it would bother me would be if it were someone I had talked to and they did so without an obvious reason why, but that would be because I'd fear I had caused upset inadvertently and wouldn't be happy if I had. |

If anyone wants to block me, that's their choice. Do I care ? Like hell I do. It's only a website for god sake. People get too drawn in on here and take things personally. And as for having to be thick skinned to be on here, bollocks. Why get all uptight just because some stranger, you've never met and probably never will has blocked you ? |

Does it bother me? Nope. And others have said it's a tool to be used... and let's face it guys... some folk are so aggressive/persistent, it's not surprising that the block tool is used by some to simply indicate not interested |

Wouldn't bother me at all I've never been disrespectful or over stepped the line so know it wouldn't be anything personal and after having repeat friends requests and winks I can understand why someone just hit the block button |

When we first joined fab some nine years ago we would be quite upset if we got blocked.
Naive I know, but we weren’t familiar with how it all worked, and we were both active on the forum.
Anyway fast forward five years or so and my wife was way past caring about coming into the forum, and I was patently aware that we weren’t the type to meet forum folk, so I became somewhat feisty at times.
This of course meant we got blocked by a fair few people, but I would only know if I clicked on their profile. Something I did now and again, and I counter blocked and rarely even gave it a second thought.
In the last year or so I wouldn’t know if we have been blocked as I don’t click on profiles any longer. |

I hope I've not pissed people off unless it's someone I've intended on pissing off, in which case I couldn't give a flying one if they've blocked me.
If I HAVE pissed someone off unintentionally and they've blocked me, well, they obviously had good reason to in their eyes and we aren't compatible. No harm done.
If they don't like my style, well, not compatible so again, no harm done, however I'd not block from not liking someones style as such (assuming you're meaning posting style) as I'd still talk to someone even if I'd have no intention of meeting them.
Does it bother me? Not really, they have their reasons, however it would miff me if I was blocked by someone I thought was pretty cool and I may wonder why.

No, I'd only be bothered if I knew I'd done something wrong deliberately and regretted it, and that's very rare and if/when it happens I'll usually own up and attempt to fix it if possible.
Ppl see what suits.... .....and if it suits them to be pissed off for no good reason then good luck with that attitude, innit.... ....stay happy! |
