Deleting messages.

I once had a long argument with a Holocaust denialist, until they stopped responding. I checked back a few days later to see if I'd missed a response, only to find that they'd simply deleted my final comment, making it look like I was the one who had no response.

With blocking, what I'd like to see is existing posts to be marked "User has been blocked by the Asker" (or "Opinion Owner") if it happened once a conversation had been started. At the moment, the messages remain visible, but there's no indication why they stopped.

@goaded Why are you choosing a thread from over a year ago to prove your point? Is Jim Smith even here anymore?

@Daniela1982 I didn't talk with him; it was a blueanon, and an illustration of how bad it can be.

But you just want to distract from the person who was so disingenuous, don't you.

Both. But the first one is worse because it shows that you're afraid of what people might say

People who block you just because you have a differing opinion are the biggest pussies on gag. One particular person is named Jack (i forget the rest of his name), who tries to bait liberals then, blocks them after they respond. He's such a pussy ass, little bitch.

It probably depends on whether you are anon or not. You can try to block them but if that doesn't work you can always delete their replies.

this is like the equivalent to "Just don't get raped" or something. If blocking is a choice then so is being a moron like some people are.

That's what most people do but look at how many there are now. But unlike you, im not putting the blame on people who has nothing to do with them. I have nothing to do with them as well. I simply put the blame on those morons. So why are you trying to stop me? Why aren't you trying to stop them? Am i really affecting you?

@Aiko_E_Lara one person sees shit, then they follow suit and continue shit. Its a form of cyber bullying

It's called Eye for an Eye. Criminals get jailed in exchange also called justice. If you really have the thoughts to consider it "Cyber bullying" then you should also have the thoughts to consider it a self defense. And lastly, if you're so good at leaving people alone, why can't you leave people like me alone? It's ironic you're trying to stop justice but let those morons go.

Also if it's gonna cause a bigger problem for me, then they're gonna have to waste their time on me instead of looking for vulnerable people. They would be extra cautious for their consequences before they do it to someone else.

I'm against deleting replies unless they're actually abusive. Blocking is okay if you really don't want to interact with someone.
