Have you noticed how wonderful this feature is?

I am using it for the first time with some of the assholes around here, and it's really nice.

It's sort of like going into a garden that was once rotted over and covered in graffiti, and then coming back to it again with everything blooming and the graffiti is gone.

It's going to be a much better experience this way, and I suggest it to anyone who is curious but has not tried it yet.

don't let anyone fuck up your homeostasis sf!
Seriously, dude.

It's amazing to come to DXP tonight and not read the trash that the human garbage writes about the decent people around here.

It's a whole different experience because you don't get notifications from assholes you have on block either.

The only notifications I get now are from quality people.

So yes, it is amazing.

I feel like I should try it sometime.
I am telling you, it is very liberating.

Whenever you log into DXP, and you see the little notifications tab to the top right?

It only has notes from people worth talking to on it.

No hate mail, no nastygrams, no contacts from assholes, nothing like that.

It is, in a word, AWESOME.
I don't like that they can still comment on your threads though!

Like I need that person to die off completely.

Oooooh, hahahaha.

I wish you had known me about 2 years ago on here.

Some of the assholes were really irritating a lot of the great people who used to post here.

So I created this board about how to kill an awful person and get rid of the body without getting caught.

Suffice it to say, some of the assholes around here got quiet all of a sudden.

But, sadly the great people (PurrrrHisss, BlackIndian, etc) who fled this site did not come back.

I'm baaaack 😄

I blocked you Ode, and then I couldn't see this thread in the feed or the miscellaneous board!

But then I could see my posts(even quotes) on this thread on my profile!

I clicked on the thread(on my profile) and could see only other's posts and my posts. But ones where I quoted you were also gone..

And then ...i unblocked you! :p


Thankyou for the experience :p : D

Was that thread directed towardsany geminis in specific, by chance 😛

Oh, no.

It was directed toward some of the more notorious losers around DXP, but to avoid causing Jerry Springer Show type drama tonight, those same idiots shall remain nameless.

BTW, I have a Gemini Moon, so I tend to mesh well with most Geminis.

......aren't you at times, guilty of that behaviour though?
Assholes tend to bring out my dark side, Dear.

But when those same assholes are blocked, there is no room for anger on my end.

I am certain that over the years you have noticed that my anger is always responsive in nature, especially with those who have it coming.
Yes I have noticed your aggression

Didn't you ever try to heal that.....it's a big part of growing up. Did you hear the saying 'rise above'

What is your rising sign?
click to expand

Perhaps I will tell you my rising sign some other time.

And yes, I am willing to rise above things with those who have an "agree to disagree" attitude.

....However, when the person is looking to stir shit up with me and is hellbent on starting shit for no other reason except to provoke me....

.....Then I am going to give them exactly what they have coming to them.

The block feature saves me the headache of having to deal with losers around here, and the peace and quiet is well worth it.

That feature has made it more likely that I'll keep reading and posting on DXP.

I learned which threads not to open if they were started by certain members, but even seeing them listed made me tense so I finally decided to use the power of The Block. I haven't blocked a lot of people, just the more vile.
Oh yeah, DXP definitely has it's fair share of vile "people" on it.

I am glad to see that you also see them for what they are.

But question about the blocking - so blocking only makes the blocked person disappear for the blockee - so what happens when that blocked person quotes the blockee in a post, throwin shade? Everyone else can see it, except for you (the blockee)?
I believe that once you block a person, you basically don't have to worry about reading their posts anymore and they cannot read yours either.

It's a total win, because you also don't receive any notifications from them either.

It's too bad you get called passive aggressive for appreciating the privilege to be able to block without any sore consequences.
I wouldn't define it as passive aggressive.

I would define it as common sense.

Some people on DXP are miserable POS types, and there isn't much you can do to have a positive conversation with them.

....And if you feel hounded by them or they crash your boards whenever you are trying to discuss things.....

.....Just block their sorry asses.

They are about as healthy to honest conversation as termites are to a new home.
