Blocking is something you can do on All Poetry 

I used to block people for being rude, but this hurt me, so I unblocked them all. I unblocked them at the same time, and I felt lighter, happier and lovelier. Since that time I have only blocked one poet. I blocked this person because what they said to me was borderline insane. It was a threat, and it was ugly. It was nonsensical, for I had not done what they said I had done. I think they accused me of being unkind. I reread my words to them, and knew they were not unkind. It was not even a criticism. It was a compliment. I blocked them because they claimed they wanted to “argue with me”. I do not argue, even in person. That is why you are blocked if you are the one poet I have blocked.

What a moron! You know, I have a couple of people blocked simply because I don't want to deal with them. I am too old to put up with their s--t! I am a nice, good, thoughtful, kind person, so when someone is nasty to me, it is totally unwarranted. I am quick to apologize when I have done wrong, but I don't deserve and will not abide rudeness and nastiness...especially here when there are so many wonderful people to relate to.

I feel the same way, but giving 11 people a second "chance" made me feel great.

Sad that you've had to do this Caren, I thought the trolling on here had stopped. If you get any more nasty comments screen shot them and forward to admin. Hope you're well. Tom
