Tersely Pertinent

Sweetlydepraved​(masochist female){Owned} - I have a random block or two and given that I very rarely engage with anyone I find it to be very confusing.

Ingénue{VK} - Happened to me. I do enjoy knowing the nature of any alleged offence but it's also fun knowing when people just aren't interested. Saved me the time of making a decision about someone who I don't know.

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - Don’t feel lonely. I have been blocked by people that I don’t know. As stated above 👆🏻 sometimes it saves you a lot of grief.

GiannaRay​(sub female) - Not really odd. As you yourself say, you seem to be self aware as how you come off sometimes. This could be the reason. Also sometimes people just do it as a tool for them in regards to one’s who are not a match for them.

Sweetlydepraved​(masochist female){Owned} - I’m just really curious about the why behind it! Maybe they hate poetry and my profile made them vomit. I bet that’s it.

TopekaDom​(dom male) - Well, now that I think on it: I am sure it is my responses to the Old vs. New Guard post. Which I make no apologies for.

GiannaRay​(sub female) - Or maybe the challenge declined one 🤷♀️

TopekaDom​(dom male) - Could be, but unlikely. That blogger wasn't the one who blocked me.

GiannaRay​(sub female) - Although I don’t typically partake in the blocking of people just because I don’t like something they’ve written (I’ll usually just scroll on by or maybe hide their postings) someone may have done just that.

ladypatience - All I have to say is that's to bad. Seriously some people really do miss out on brilliant people even if someone feels your an asshole their missing out on a brilliant ahole. Ugh. I may be biased at this point though lol More TD for the rest of the universe 💋 😘 💋 😘

Bunnie - They miss out :)

B L O N D I E​(sub female) - I think it might be a glitch in the system. I checked a profile for someone I had never heard of and found that I was blocking them. I tried to unblock and the button didn't work.

ladypatience - Same happened to me to

Sweet Ginger​(sub female){⚓ } - If the block was intentional,
I wouldn't be that concerned about it. I'm sure your more curious than anything, some people get triggered based on something that was said or how they interpreteded it. [Can't please everyone]. Oh well..

MrRobbbee​(switch male) - I think unfortunatly it may be just a sign of today's culture. There is little toleration for differing opinions and cancelling....not discussion seems to be the new norm

slimJayden​(sub male) - Maybe blocking was a smart way to get your attention :)

ladypatience - You can't really give the person attention after you've been blocked. You can't talk in the chat room or in messages so no not to smart.

Purĕ​(sub female){♥︎loved} - Just be happy that they sorted themselves out. I would be happy some people would block me. Just recently I commented on a subs blogpost. half an hour later I went back, to read it again. deleted my post. thought it might be a glitch, posted it again. 3 mins later I had a message from her, telling me to stop commenting on my posts, she wouldn't want that i draw attention of her "Dom" to me. I felt like I did something wrong, when clearly her insecurities are the problem. :( Just block me in that case

Ingénue{VK} - As Doms on the cage assume that any submissive commenting on their sub's blogs wants to be their property too, I can see her point.

I wonder at her writing a blog if she isn't into poly.

Purĕ​(sub female){♥︎loved} - I was just confused and took it personal, because other comments are allowed, just not mine :( (at least from what I saw)

Ingénue{VK} - Rude of her.

A Minx - Huh, at the risk of being blocked (lol)... a newbie here, how does one find out / become blocked? Is it though Preferences > Privacy > Blocked List?

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - What you described is where you can find those you have blocked.

You usually don’t know you are blocked until you try to contact someone or comment on their blog. Or respond to a comment they have made on someone else’s blog

Ingénue{VK} - It's like a special surprise! Especially when it's a papa smurf lookalike with loyalty issues. Sniggers.

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - Exactly!!

TopekaDom​(dom male) - I found out by simply looking at this person's profile and found out it said I can't contact them because I was blocked

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - I’ve had that happen. It’s weird especially if you’ve never had contact with that person.

Ingénue{VK} - It's more fun when there's been lots. Winks at Satin. Go on, you know you want to!

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - I’m not sure he could handle both of us😏

Ingénue{VK} - 😂😂😂 I'd not like to see the shape he'd be in. I'm in a mood. Smirks. Osu.

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - Osu!!!

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - His blood pressure might need monitoring

TopekaDom​(dom male) - If you are talking about me, I'm already on blood pressure meds

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - Then we definitely need to keep a check on you.

Ingénue{VK} - Mouth twitches. We need a nurse....

TopekaDom​(dom male) - or at least kinky nurses outfits?

Satindragon{Not Lookin} - Wait, What, I thought you had that covered.

A Minx - Thank you dear ones, all very helpful information!

aPeepingMom​(sub female) - To answer your question, you’re not scary. But you can definitely come across as an asshole. As a fellow asshole, it doesn’t bother me but I can see how it may bother others.

I’ve preemptively blocked people before for the following reasons:
- Their content or comments are extremely negative or toxic. I don’t want that shit in my life and seeing it makes my BP spike. For my own mental health, I’ve decided to remove them from my world.
- They give me the creeps. Plain and simple, it’s a vibe. My skin crawls, my gut turns, and my heart beats faster - not in a good way.

I take steps to avoid certain types of people in my real life (in person), so why wouldn’t I choose to avoid them online? I do what I do to protect my own mental health, I can’t worry about whether someone is annoyed or offended.

I’m extremely selfish like that.
