I got a feeling this platform has a chance and devolving into an echo chamber of people blocking whoever they disagree with because they get offended at the drop of a dime. Starting see indicators already popping up. Advise people to step out of the comfort zone and try to find mutual disagreements instead of closing down the conversation. Pop your own bubble.

Great Post! It’s called the INTELLECTUAL Dark Web. Let’s be better than the brainwashed masses on Facebook.

I can find fault in Everything if that's the way I think. !!!!!
You are obviously a liberal, Offended by Everything . Please block and comment No More ?

What does being a liberal got to with anything.

I defend the right to free speech for everyone. But that doesn't mean I should listen to every idiot that opens his mouth. We should not feel bad about our choices to associate or not associate with whomever. That's part of freedom.

I hereby do solemnly swear to ban anyone who speaks in agreement with me.

I was raised to debate things openly and to keep an open mind, but in todays forums you have to make sure you word things very carefully so as to not offend certain groups or certain people . People are too easily offended today and it is getting worse, my god when I was growing up in the UK we had marmalade with a golliwog on the jar, it was how we recognized the brand, it has now been removed because it has been found offensive. None of the young black people I grew up with were offended by it, but today people are offended by way too many things that in the past have been seen as harmless, we have gone crazy with the PC bull crap.

Blocking is a form of censorship. Censorship is NEVER the correct solution for anything.

Just because someone doesn't want to see something they don't see value in, doesn't mean they are offended.

It would be more honest to post the link to what you are complaining about.

The comment is a general observation, if have an issue with an individual I would direct message them not put them blast.

That is quite humorous since you wanted to know who they were desiring to block, and then use another thread to accuse them of being offended. Faulty premise, faulty observation.

@Catherine ????

I haven't seen examples yet thankfully. Good post though. Hard to keep oneself in check on their own.

Good rule of thumb is if your getting heated step back read the conversation out loud to yourself and then think about it. And make sure you're sounding rational.

What, did someone on here block you?

Hard to tell

@Phonics If you cannot access their profile, that means either they did block you or put their account on pause.

@SpikeTalon this post was never intended for an individual, just speaking out loud. Testing the temperature of the water, feedback from people feels ominous. This post wasn't an intent to call anybody out, does it come off like that?

@Phonics Okay, I was just curious was all...

@Boohickert sorry it's hard to apply perspective in text conversations I feel me talking would have applied more rational context.

THANK YOU, for this post. i am new to this site ,but have spent the last couple of days enjoying it. i have been clicking on things/comments i recognize and can relate to(like minds), but i have been skipping over things/comments that are in my experience DIFFERENT(unlike minds). don't step out of your comfort zone, but grab onto your panties and jump out. sooo her we go.

Yep, the biggest danger of a community is tit-for-tat escalation of ad hominem exchanges. We have to encourage members to get thick skin and not retaliate. Flag it if gets out of hand.
