Just ignore and don't feed the troll...
They want you to argue and every period had them.
Fromafar Spiderman BB Etc....
It's pointless trying to discuss they will just drive you down to their miserable level.
Ignore and move on.
I agree with lakeland that certain individuals ruin good threads but that's life. Like twats that deliberately block toilets so no one can use them.

One of the problems with some posters is that they render some threads almost unreadable - in the sense that you have to wade through so much chaff to find the posts that contribute anything positive. You see in a pub I can have a two way or three or four way conversation and that is fine. But if someone continually hijacked that conversation either because they had too much to say or because what you said offended me (racism or bullying etc.) I'd just make sure I didn't find myself at a table that included them in future. You can't quite do that on a message board - so blocking is the easiest way. but wouldnt you argue the point with them too shut them up? I might, but to be honest the posters I block don't seem to shut up if I argue with them! Racism I think I've given up arguing about. I used to have an Anglo Indian partner for 7 years and she (and me when I was with her) often got racial insults thrown at us, I can't say arguing ever changed anyone's mind. If you say someone should "go home" because of their skin colour (despite the fact that home was and had always been Plymouth) then you are unlikely to change your mind just because they or their partner argue with you. I/we made our opinion of what was said clear but didn't hang around to argue the point. We felt we had better things to do than to spend too much time arguing with morons.

Surely threads wouldn't make sense then though. Also, isn't it a bit arrogant to disregard someone's opinion to the point of completely censoring them? After all, how would you know if what they're saying turns out to be right or wrong if you never know what they said in the first place? The poster I've blocked doesn't post fact, an opinion masquerading as fact or just plain opinion, mostly vague insinuation and regurgitated rumour. My conscience is clear.

With someone expressing an opinion, yeah, even if you think it's utter horse shit. But these nobbers are just doing it to feel big and they really aren't

I think you're a fucking disgrace of a man if you would consider blocking someone for having a different opinion. A pathetic, spineless fucking pussy who I would be ashamed to know personally.
If you want to just masturbate over self-validation by having everything agreed with by living in a self-created echo chamber you're lower than vermin.
If you can't handle opposing points of view, if you can't argue your point with ferocity and conviction, and the only way you can cope with that is by hiding away, your opinion is worth precisely jack fucking shit. If it's not strong enough to hold up on its own merit and withstand criticism, it's a good bet to assume it's wrong.
What's worse is somehow celebrating this blocking like it's cool or a badge of honour. I'm not a Tory but on my FB in the build up to the election, there were loads of Labour voters self-congratulating and slimily patting themsleves on the back by bragging about blocking Conservatives.
I just thought... "What a child".
You're perfectly entitled to remove yourself from anything you don't like / find offensive / are too weak to argue against but it's a well pussified thing to do.

I block 3 posters. My blood pressure returned to its normal low levels after I did it. Life is good again! am i one of them If he doesn't reply then yes you are, as he won't see yr post. I have never blocked anyone, even he who must not be named, there is only one poster that I simply will not read any of his threads or posts, but other than that I conna really be bothered ignoring anyone.

What exactly does blocking mean. Does it mean you can't see their posts, or they can't PM you. So Horacegoesbumming has said 1 person on his block list has posted, how does he know...

I appreciate the sentiment and at times in my life would wholeheartedly agree. But to be honest this is more about how I react to posts. I've spent too much time wound up by what I read on here or Twitter for example, so much so that it impacts my offline life either by being in a bad mood or taking the time to reply to something. Life's too short to waste blood pressure on something that is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. I use blocking as a filter to improve the quality and length of my family time. I don't feel I'm missing out on what Ashley has to say to be quite honest with you. Arrogant? Probably.

I blocked someone yesterday my first one.wasn't really what he posted more the fact he had taken over the thread with multiple posts rendering the original thread obscure. Have to admit if I had known how to block before the season kicked in I would have blocked multitudes the negativity and vitriolic personal abuse of club employees sickened me.
