What excuse do people use for blocking other people here?
I just saw this question from The Bones Don't Lie: "Why do the majority of Republican voters here now have me blocked?
I would have answered but I seem to be blocked!!! How drole.
Do the blockers not really believe in the First Amendment?
To me it just indicates insecurity. People are frightened that their question will be blown out of the water by a well-aimed answer and they do not want to lose face.

I replaced my old w/ a new account and went to almost exclusively anon because of the rude righties. The blocking is practically non existent for me now that comments is gone.

I have blocked one person in 10 years because they exclusively posted the most hateful, racist things in response to my questions. I finally decided enough was enough.

Personally, I don't block people. I'd rather the world see their stupidity on display. But while no one is depriving you of your First Amendment rights, your right to express your opinions doesn't mean someone MUST listen to them... That's THEIR right.

That's not what the first amendment is about.
They block because the don't like answers that don't agree with them. There is at least one anonymous user here who accuses liberals of random things and blocks any liberals from answering. I'm sure the inverse also happens.

They are hypocrites. They block everyone then cry foul when blocked back.
I only blocked like 2 people who kept spamming my questions.
I go anon so I can actually answer questions on here that liberals ask.

I blocked summertime amd mcweasel because they are hated lvl 7 decade trolls and blockers who do not deserve to answer my questions or have opinions on this site.
Yes it's obvious when their posts get few answers because everyone is blocked.
