ORIGINAL: NocturnalStalker I come online with the expectation of being offended and having thick skin to not get shaken to my very core by mere text. That's your interpretation of it, and for you that works. For me, it has nothing to do with having or not having thick skin, but of excluding negativity when I can. Sure, they are words on a screen and only I can allow them to affect me, no one can "make" that happen. But at the same time, an abusive post is going to provoke a response in the reader. To what degree the reader responds is up to that reader. Again, for myself, I just don't see any reason why I would want to see a reader's post when I know, for example, they always post in "angry" mode or consistently refer to others in derogatory terms. Positivity inspires positivity and negativity breeds negativity. You don't have to see it that way, but that's okay, because I do. :) What I'd like to know is how your reasoning equates to your earlier statement of blocking being a petty action.
