I find the blocking absolutely bizarre. I have never blocked anyone in my decades of online internet use. Ignored a lot of people, but never blocked anyone.

I don't really care about the subject I am not discussing that, but why would you come to a discussion forum, say your piece and then expect that you will simply block anyone who responds?

And you of course are being the biggest dickhead because right or wrong, you have the last word and slam the door. Just asshole behaviour.

So I ask you, if you are going to block everyone that disagrees with you, why would you even be here?

I block people that offer nothing to the discussion and seem to only want to escalate the argument for no purpose. Blocking them makes it easier to not have to encounter them down the road as they clearly have little to offer.
