BLOCKED!

I understand that some here are annoying or even hostile. But simply blocking someone whom you had been friends with simply does nothing to fix the problem.

                       Blocked!

 

Has it happened to you yet?  Have you gone online here to say ‘hey’ to a friend and find out you’re BLOCKED.   Now, you are totally unable to repair the rift!

 

How did it make you feel?   Didn’t it make you wonder what you did?  Or didn’t do?

 

Why do some feel the need to do this?   Does blocking others make them feel like they have caused justice to be done here?

 

After being blocked do you feel like saying to that person,  “To HELL with you!”   Or do you want to just ignore them entirely?

 

Here is a thought.  Why don’t the ‘blockers’ just simply tell you what you did wrong?  

 

Its called COMMUNICATION

Author's Note

It really bothers me when I have apparently bothered someone in some way that they then resort to blocking me. Everyone has a bad day and offends someone. Blocking someone is not the way to fix the relationship.

I find blocking a very silly thing to do. It's immature. Unless someone's, like, harassing you. Even then I wouldn't block - I'd delete.
I just now looked at the other comments. I didn't know you could block people on this site. I was thinking about facebook or AIM.

I think people do it for a sense of control or superiority or whatever. Kind of like, "Ha! I blocked you before you could block me! I am victorious!"

An effective rant that I agree with! I think immaturity really comes out sometimes and that is ridiculous! Well keep in mind that the rest of us are here for input on our writing and it is a unique supportive system :)

In all of my 3 years here I've never been blocked until recently by two girls. It's a shame I helped one out by introducing her to this site days before she blocked me. One day we were talking and it was fine, the next I was blocked. People are funny that way I guess. Life goes on. I'm not losing sleep over it.

unique way of looking at how stupid people can be with communication. good job
