People always needed walls and distance to not be bothered by different, often oposing views from the rest of humanity. Without them we would all become crazy like that AI that was set up to learn from humans on internet. Imagine millions of years of evolution and how it shaped how your mind works. It does have a block function already. ---

You can’t rationalise away the emotional reaction required for blocking someone. We’re not talking about spam and ads here.

That’s what you’re doing when you’re blocking someone. For spam and ads, you protect your focus and your lifetime. For people, you protect yourself from the input of others. Require proof? Unblock everyone you’ve blocked … _(of which people are hopefully still around)_ … don’t block anyone anymore … … and enjoy how that’s going to go for you.

It’s not comparable, unless you consider other people not to be humans as well. Rubbish - it’s not an ‘emotional reaction’ - there’s no ‘love’ or ‘hate’ involved.

> [@Dravick\_Afterthought](#): > > It’s just the utter tedium of the time wasted reading the same rubbish from the same people over and over again… Is your spectrum of “emotional reactions” limited to “love” or “hate”? Could you please be less primitive and simple minded? I know you can do better. How is it not obvious to you? You even call it “utter bollocks”. It’s “utter bollocks”. It’s a strong word. A short U, a double T, two short Os and a hard ending CK. It’s even clear why you used it. The “utter” further underlines the “bollocks” and despite it being in your face you rather insist on it not being an emotional reaction. You block, because you can’t handle it. We can go all the way up to “free will” and why your post facto rationalisation makes you blind to the emotional reaction causing your behaviour, if you want to … _or_ you can just believe me, because it’s coming from someone who knows better. This is fun. I could do this all day! It’s too rare nowadays. 😊 ---

Bots/spammers aside (whom I usually just report, but will temporarily block if necessary to clear up a channel), to this day, I have _never_ blocked anyone on any of my characters. Not a _single_ person. Why? Well, because I just find it more effective to _kill_ them. And if I _can’t_ kill them, because they refuse to play and just stay docked and talk smack, that means I’ve _already won_, and the trash talk is just icing on the cake for me. And even if I’m the one who lost, and am still being verbally “abused” by the enemy, I use it as an opportunity to channel their arrogance into a screw-up in the future. So it really comes down to one consideration: are you blocking someone for practical reasons, such as because they’re making a channel unreadable, or because what they’re saying is not agreeable with you in some form, such as because it’s an insult, taunt, etc.? The former is entirely justified, but the latter is indicative of your own psychological deficiencies. I used to be like that too, until I performed some introspection, and trained myself to face conflicting perspectives, and even emotional aggression, head-on. It was like finding a new source of strength; I became an unshakable castle in the wind. And the best part is that this synergizes really well with other learned skills, strengths, and virtues (such as, for example, formal debate and being able to deal with the risk of loss), multiplying the effect of each to make you a more competent person. Can you block others to avoid getting frustrated or upset from having to deal with listening to something that you find disagreeable? Well sure, you can. It’s probably not the _worst_ response you can have, but it definitely won’t make you grow and become better and stronger as a person. To that end, I even prefer it if big forum trolls aren’t silenced, because it’s so much more effective to _publicly_ destroy them with an actual argument. If you just bury your head in the sand, then they’ve already won. ---

For the rest I don’t need further interaction other than: 1. Play spaceship maneuver games with them in a videogame cyberspace. 2. And for them to meet their end at the tip of my hot lazors in their faces, or vice versa. Anything beyond that, well from experience, i see it as superficial, short-term, very often more toxic than not, and effectively completely unnecessary. For real and open interactions with people, I go down the pub for a pint, or I go home and beat my wife (the kinky way). ---
