Blocking different opinions and anonymously rants according to Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement, fall in the upper or in the lower range?

Some theists that usually are serial atheists blocker, love to post rants dressed as question but fail to provide the forthcoming examples to claim the history that indicates that an atheist will come into in the lower levels, or at the lowest, ... do those theists user fail to read their own Bible? Matthew 7:3-5 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

    Many people have blocked others because they were getting tired of reading personal insults in the comments under their responses. Anyway, it's largely irrelevant since YA finally did the right thing by disabling all comments. It was a wise decision in my estimation since 99% of the comments consisted of personal attacks.

    Do you know where you are going when you die? The truth is that death leads to heaven or hell, and the only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ.

    The Bible is very clear that no one can earn their way to heaven since good works do not pay for sins. See Gal. 2:16, Rom. 3:23-28, 4:4-5, Eph. 2:8-9, Tit. 3:5. The only way to heaven is by believing in Jesus for His free gift of eternal life. Jesus shed His blood on the cross as the full payment for our sins. He did all the work; all He requires of us is that we believe in Him. Once you believe in Jesus Christ to save you, you are secure forever!

    Because we have all sinned against a perfectly holy and righteous God, we all deserve eternal separation from God in hell (Rom. 6:23). However, God loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross as our Substitute so we don't have to go to hell. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the grave three days later (1 Cor. 15:3-4). He gives eternal life freely to anyone who simply believes in Him for it. No one can be saved by doing good works. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Eph. 2:8-9).

    "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life" (John 6:47).

    It clearly isn't in the upper part, but the Hierarchy doesn't specifically address it. I'd put close to the bottom in terms of similarity.  However, I suspect that any appeals to rationality will fall on deaf ears.

    I thought it was pretty obvious they just want to make us look bad while remaining unchallenged. Or to make it look like most people agree with them by not letting dissent be heard. I didn't think any more thought needed to be put into it as it's about image more than substance.
