Why block someone especially JW's who.......?

If you ask a question especially one that is searching for an opinion based answer why forms blocking the fowl mouthed idiots who just want to insult others. Why block because you don't agree with someone. Seems biased and hypocritical to me. JW's seem to be the worst about this. Just want to hear what you all think.

Update:

I'm not whining just wondering why you bother to ask if you don't want answers. I have never blocked anyone because that defeats the purpose.

fowl....foul sorry you know what i mean....irrelavant

Update 2:

I'm sorry I mistyped a little what I meant to say was: I perfectly understand blocking someone who is fowl mouthed or just a complete idiot. However if the answer is as honest and factual as possible then why block simply because you disagree. I have been blocked by several JW's for this reason. I have not been blocked by any other users. That is the purpose of my question or supposed bias.

    some people are just very unreasonable. On another site, there was a thread about halloween costumes & some chick wrote "its an excuse for women to look like whores they are whores anyway" I replied "I think women who call other women are whores are ugly" ...before I knew it, she posted me a rant about how I offended her & how I had no right to do so, then blocked me, lol :D

    Its a way to void peoples opinions, I think.

    in case you haven't any longer seen it possibly your no longer looking complicated. i've got seen it in the two Japan after an earthquake and long island while they helped many human beings, witness and not. in case you prefer a showy show and brags of giving than you likely won't discover that. What are you conversing regarding the WBTS? They use the bible consistently for their truths. you haven't any longer observed the various costs from the bible here on the communicate board? and that they permit different bibles besides they only choose their translation. Like many Catholics choose theirs. the different is in simple terms an added analyzing help like many companies have. The AMA is a company too and places out standard comments as Aids to gaining know-how of. don't be this variety of follower of propaganda recommendations your self

    I am one of JW.

    I have blocked people when they are rude especially vulgar in any form of speech and also when they give wrong directions or false acquisition's upon our religious belief.

    I don't think giving opinion is wrong, but giving opinion in a wrong way calls for something. So you would have noticed many things like that.

    Some people who do answer deserve to be blocked since they don't follow the Y!A guidelines, theses people can't be put on your category isn't?

    How do you decide the opinion is wrong?

    1) Opinions should be expressed in a proper way such that it doesn't have any bad words or bad expression in it, even though the opinion may be on the apposite. If there is no polite in the answer people have right to block the user. (*Actually to say the truth your question needs to be corrected a little*)

    2) well the second thought on this matter is making false acquisition of someone or something calls for blocking of the user. how do you know its false? Sometimes the best way is to analyse the matter fully, so if you think it has something wrong because of false acquisitions after analyzing you can block the user

    3) The third and important factor deciding whether you should block or not lies on the matter of perception. Sometimes when you perception tells that he is worthy to be blocked not because of how he looks bcoz his answer may have negative impact on everyone or anyone who looks his answer.

    Hope you are not annoyed by my answer.

    Sometimes its better not to go inside things which you don't know, many go inside and try to get smarter by answering the question which they don't know anything and finally get a "block" which they actually deserve for their smartness.

    JW have their belief and they dont allow anything to subdued their belief so they do the right thing by blocking those try to hamper their belief. Actually they are not "foul mouthed idiots" they are loving people who control their tongue, and speak the right thing when needed and they show their disbelief by blocking.

    Finally I should say my heartfelt sorry for you. Since I never want to hurt people of any sort nor our god loves that kind of act.

    Thank you for your question.

    The only reason I've ever blocked a person in the past is because they persistently abused YA's policies and gave insulting answers to questions that weren't even directed at them.

    There are so many anti JW trolls on here, so whenever you ask a perfectly straightforward question to or about JW's, the trolls often answer with something completely unrelated and insulting/lies towards JW's. This is not only disrespectful and annoying, it's totally off topic to what the questioner wanted.

    Who wants people like that answering their questions all the time???

    What other religion has people who dedicate their whole sad little lives in trying to destroy it?

    Fowl mouthed means chicken. I believe you mean foul mouthed.

    I have been blocked often because I use the Bible to defend my beliefs in my answers. Some do not want to hear the truth at all.

    People in Yahoo Answers can block others for any and whatever reason they wish. It doesn't do you any good to turn around and post questions whining about being blocked. And no, Jehovah's Witnesses aren't the worst about it.......the ones who are the worst are the ones that Jehovah's Witnesses keep showing to be wrong in their statements. Rather than deal with it, they block Jehovah's Witnesses from being able to answer any further questions they ask TO or about Jehovah's Witnesses.

    It's very petty and immature to whine about it.

  • When you say things like "JW's seem to be the worst about this".... it is you who seem biased & hypocritical.

    I'm a Jehovah's Witness who has been blocked for no reason but I'm not crying about it..

    The only reason I can think of is that the asker didn't like the scriptural answers I was giving.

    What's the point in asking us a question & then blocking us from answering? - The only reason I can think of is that they are not really wanting answers from Witnesses... but are trolling for a negative response. It happens all the time.

    That isn't what this site is for.... & is against yahoo rules

    I'll star your question because then you can hear from other JW's who have the same experience.

    Probably because there are mental Jehovah's Witness haters like Josh A and Miss Information who spend their little lives on their computers obsessing in their Q&A about Jehovah's Witnesses like there was nothing else in the world to talk about. It's like get over it!

    You would think they had something to live for but they don't so you seriously cannot blame some Jehovah's Witnesses blocking out these hermits from real society. I get sick of any kind of hatred and intolerant mouth foaming whackos who just sit and take the piss all day.

    Being on Yahoo Answers don't allow you the right to an audience especially if you are not respecting them.

    What is sad is some haters think they are making a difference but their efforts are just on a virtual world that is forgotten in the real life of people.

    I wouldn;t worry about it, two mormons have me blocked and then one of them has the gull to say that anti-mormons block her. hahahah, what a hypocrit.

  • 1 decade ago

    I don't mind objectors just don't like spiteful ones who are obsessed with hate. I don't want their hate involved in my own enjoyment of Yahoo Answers.

    I am even blocked by anti-JWs but I am not bothered about it in the least.
