I just went through way too much “thought” about someone calling me racist for asking a question. It really felt like a Qt and expose people situation. Block feels like it’s letting people off too easily.
That sort of thinking is a trap. You're not letting them off easy, you're sparing yourself the headache of dealing with them. When you let yourself care about a random jagoff's opinion of you, you've already lost.
It’s worth interrogating. I don’t think I care about the opinion. It’s more befuddlement. Or a warning to others. Or just rubbernecking. Like what is going on in people’s heads.
The thing about the block here, is that it deletes the whole thing.
I’m of the mind that people that want to argue honestly don’t resort to insults right off the bat.
If they just want to troll, nuking the entire thread negates the exposure because it’s not left there for people to see it.
Eh, if you're so inclined. Thing is: I'm not sure it's worth that interrogation if engaging with it makes your experience on social media so miserable that you're inclined to leave it. Most of the folks I see burning out on here are the folks who have attempted that interrogation in good faith.
