Hi mommalicious,

I think Blocking may have been a little over the top. Unfriend, yes. Hide your profile, yes. But I always thought of Blocking as akin to hanging the phone up on someone. Or saying (virtually) I hate you so much, I spit on you, I want no part of your reality to contaminate my reality, I don’t want you to stalk me (because checking out my Profile like the rest of my Friends is stalking when you do it, you lurker!) and I don’t even want to know if you’re dead!

Well, at least that’s how I view it.

One of my old friends blocked me after I didn’t agree with her or play her game. Then a few months later she unblocked me. Then she re-Friended me. Then Unfriended me. And she’s all of fifty-something years old.

Then an ex BF sent me three Friend Requests over the years. I finally added him. He finally got married to someone. Then he Blocks me!

Now I had never abused, stalked, made passive and/or aggressive comments or anything. It’s just some people don’t do social media well.

But it smacks so hard of immaturity the Blocking (unless of course the other person is abusive).

I suggest Hiding or Unfriending.

Just a different Opine on this issue! 🙂
