I've just been blocked, how should I feel about that?

I mean blocked on y!a, of course.

Upon finding out, I grimaced, then I grinned. :)

What reaction to you have to being blocked by another user on y!a?

Update:

(((Erin)))

I don't think I have anyone blocked...

Donkey, I love your imagery :)

    One time I tried to click on a guy's question, and I found myself blocked!

    I was so surprised!

    What cause would somebody have to block a cute, good-natured, green mushroom?

    Seriously, would you block this face?

  • I'm surprised, because there's no reason for anyone to block me. And right before I answered this, I clicked on a question and found that the user had blocked me! So I blocked back, and that's the end of it. :)

  • Unfazed. It's not worth worrying about.

    I am rarely blocked, but it did happen about three weeks ago from an Australian bloke who rather bizarrely appeared to think (incorrectly) that I had copied a very general, very abstract question from him. To his credit, he soon unblocked me, without prompting. Smart move.

    I do confess, though, that I have had moments where that notice has driven me to distraction! It's most annoying because then you have to stalk the person from all your other accounts ...

    Most of the time, I totally understand why & agree with the user's decision....occasionally it perplexes me as I don't know the other user from a hole in the ground...either or, my short attention span & memory issues render it a moot point in short order

    It never bothers me too much. I think it means that some people just take this internet stuff a little too seriously.

    And for the record, I currently have zero people on my blocked list.

    Seeing "you cannot" is like acid running through my veins.

    Then I remember I blocked them first and that I got what I deserved.

    That only helps a little.

    you should be proud - you almost got through to someone

    i normally block them in return (just did that to one more a few minutes ago)

    It is probably a troll doing it.
