Are you sick of users who ask certain questions, just so they can block all users with opposing views?
Isn't it egotistical to only want answers that agree with your viewpoints?

Oh... does it tell you when you're blocked?
I feel all left out now. Like, I need to be blocked by someone, like all of the other cool kids. I want to fit in!

Presumptuous yes, but isn't that why we ask? On some level, we are seeking out how many think like us.
Whew - I asked a question yesterday that was asking for opinions, and I guess I didn't word it right and got my butt kicked all over GWS.
I didn't block any one, or even give up/down on responses. But I have to admit, I was shocked at how a few sentences read by many can viewed so differently.

I totally agree. But, I take exception to the ones who have nothing intelligent to say in their answers. Many of the Bushie Babies only have enough intelligence to flame others. I should not be surprised at this though, I mean really, consider who their hero is! He can't speak in complete sentences and flames everyone who disagrees with him.

It's the partisan-political version of baiting and switching. Usually the ones who do this are little trolls and hacks who are here merely to disseminate propaganda and outright deragotory posts to incite reaction from other users for their own sick amusement.

Yes, like this idiot who blocked me because he didn't like my answer. No matter, I'm better off not answering that person's questions, he has no respect for the first amendment. He is not a true American.

Unfortunately that happens often. Its too bad really.
PS. Got news for ya lamplighter, Dems block people at probably the same rate as repubs do I'm sure.

I simply block them back. Eventually, they run out of people to interact with.

Yes, I do. But I've learned not to let it get to me.
Dumdum, you and I are on opposite sides of the fence, but it happens on both sides. I've been blocked by many for not agreeing with them. :)
To the last respondent. Be very disappointed. They do.

Republicans do that... a lot. I hope that Dems don't do it. I'd be disappointed.
Edit:
But, I agree that if they do it to you, you have to do it back. If you don't, they have no reason to stop. Once they have no one left to talk to but their supporters... they're outta the game.
