  I have yet to be blocked, Lu - I would imagine it is a little insulting unless you know why and there is a good reason.  My advice (since you're not asking - LOL) is to share your voice where it is welcome.
   
  Hugs - Wishy

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  ( Hugs ) to you too, wishy and thanks for the advice.

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  btw, it left me feeling confused and sad.

  but I trust this person's judgement and believe it was done without malice. 

  Some people do it maliciously or out of anger, and you feel their anger in it, but I don't think this was the case.

  In any case, it doesn't change my feelings about that person. Just wondered how others feel when they are blocked from commenting. 

• CayenneMan said on Sep 01, 2008....

    I don't like it at all. It's kinda cruel especially after all that work throwing all that out there , the nerve of some people , heck they only come around once a week ! Now this idiot comes around and blocks my trash with his piece of chunk old Pinto.     Just kidding crybabylu, I don't know but after this day I probably will have an idea.   

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  haha! an old pinto no less.  I used to have a standard pinto, and it got so that I couldn't keep a starter in that thing.  so i always parked on a decline, so i could let it coast and then pop the clutch and it would start.  Thanks for the memory, Cayenne.

• Expendable said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Who'd block you for any reason?
   
  When it's a friend, I get angry. I feel betrayed.
   
  When it's someone I've been arguing with, I feel vindicated. I must have been right - no other reason, is there?

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  you are so sweet, Expendable....

  but i have a feeling i had it coming.  I have been to self-absorbed lately and neglectful.  I am trying today to catch up on my blog and comment on other blogs around soulcast, including yours, sweets.  LOL and thanks for commenting...dee

• uniquely-ironic said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Are you talking about here?  I guess I'm so oblivious to it that I don't know if I've ever been blocked.  I suppose that means I don't worry about that.

• Expendable said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Excuse me? Papa Jack goes to hospital and gets stents put in his heart and it's somehow your fault for not first pandering to someone else's overbloated ego?

  Girl, you've done nothing to be ashamed of. Whoever blocks you for that is an ass, pure and simple.

• beyondtheveil said on Sep 01, 2008....

  I don't think I've ever been blocked, but if I was I'd write them off mentally as not existing on this planet. 

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  unique----yeah, i shouldn't worry about it, thanks!

  Expendable------It was probably more than that, but that's okay, I just was airing my thoughts, I'm okay!  Thanks!

  beyond-----It isn't that drastic to me.  I just wondered is all. thanks for responding.

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Expendable---I've been out of sorts since my baby sister died a month ago, and I've been on a pity party somewhat since, and then one thing after another happened, and I was starting to get bitter at life, and I think it may have reflected in my writing.

  The bible says to be thankful in all things, and I was not.  But, now I have repented and I'm on my way back up.  Thanks for taking the time to comment and saying such nice things.  It really has helped.  I hope all is well with you!  Thanks again, dee.

• Eilan said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Whenever I've been blocked, it's made me laugh, because it's either been related to SC "pedo" drama or it's been by an immature kid who was offended by what I sincerely thought were innocent comments.
  
  Even though I'm amused by getting blocked, I do hold grudges, so if someone blocks me, we will never be on friendly terms.  Similarly, people who get blocked from my blog will never get unblocked.
  

• skald said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Dee I am sure it would make me feel bad. I would wonder why. 

• andora said on Sep 01, 2008....

  hi sweetness,
  
  I can't imagine what you could have possibly said that would move someone to ex out your voice...but then again, I love people who have enough self-acceptance to express their views.
  
  Essentially, blocking someone's voice on a blog that is filled with anonymous voices is tantamount to killing their voice. It says more about the person who blocked the voice than the voice expressing opinion/views. I've been blocked and hate what that feels like...but then again, I'm aggressive, caustic and arrogant! ;]
  
  When I encounter people who do not wish to witness or hear a full array of opinions, I just conclude that they prefer to deny reality. I believe in being discerning about what I allow into my own cloistered reality...but, an anonymous blog???? This shows what a very thin skin some folks actually have! SUCKS TO BE THEM!!!!@#$%
  
  I must argue with your view that grief is self-pity.... and, the self-doubt you go through when someone rejects you is, in my not so humble opinion, healthy; unless, you let it cannibalize you. Diversity is great, some day I will be mature enough to realize that having other's disagree with me does not mean I am wrong, or even that they are wrong...it just means we are different with different world views.
  
  To me Crybaby you are on the sweet side with a hidden medusa that wants to wipe away bigotry and injustice. Like me, your medusa does not fit in well with polite society, so you keep her in solitary confinement in favor of being accepted. I gave up on getting acceptance and have swayed to compliment your position of sweetness with my position as a provocateur. I like playing see-saw with you because you and papajack are veritably the only voices that are nice, or that even bother to respond to me. So thanks for holding me present. XOXO
  
  I'm sorry about the grief that is holding your heart....you are not wrong for feeling your loss and being disoriented - trudge on sistah!. I love you.
  

• dailyachesandpains said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Dee  {{{HUGS}}}
  I read about your loss, but forgive me for not commenting.  All of last year I lost a little cousin, two uncles and an aunt and it's just still too fresh in my mind.  I'm still having a hard time seeing my Mother lose siblings in such a close family and losing my little cousin was shocking and I just don't know what to say other than I'm sorry.  So, what I'm trying to say is that I know how you feel with one thing after another after another (Papa going to the hospital, etc.). 
   
  Now, as far as being blocked...I was just blocked for the first time and I didn't know why.  I felt badly because I actually like this person as a human being.  It's not like you can PM him/her either, in order to ask if you hurt him/her, because the block prevents you from doing so.  So, it's either air it to all of SC, or keep it to yourself which stinks either way. 
   
  I've only blocked spammers and pedo posters.  I have NO place for that on my pages.

• SeanRenaud said on Sep 01, 2008....

  The only reason to block someone is if they are your superior.  Congratulations Crybabylu!  Your officially undisputably better than someone else here on Soulcast.  Now you just need to catch up to me!
   
  On a side note I really wish we didn't have to wait for someond to post on our blog before we could block them.  Example BRITNANYSPEARS, PARISHILTON, FRIT76 are all obviously the same person and they like to show up and and post elventy billion posts on y blogs just to piss me off and I end up spending a half hour erasing them and I can't block them now I have to wait until after teh damage is done.

• bluegum said on Sep 01, 2008....

  g'day cry wear the block like a badge of honer , only some have made those lofty heights.lol.
   
  blue.

• hotaka said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Well, I don't know why anyone would block you, lu. My impression is that you don't aim to provoke others and if you feel there's a problem you take amiable steps to ameliorate things. So I can understand it would bother you, being the kind soul you are.
  
  As for me I would be hurt because all the people I interact with here I think of as friends. So if one of them blocked me I would wonder why and try to find out what I had done.
  

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Eilan----I feel ridiculous for even mentioning it now.   thanks!

  skald----Thanks, but now I don't think I want to know.  I'm a coward at times.

  Andora----I love you sister!  Thanks for commenting and for all the kind things you said.  How are things with you now?  Are you enjoying your new place?

  Daily----(( hugs to you too! ))  I wish now that I would have kept it to myself.  I thought how I posed it, it wouldn't neccessarily mean that I was blocked.  Dumb of me, huh?  Thanks for commenting and for saying you know how I feel having lost my sister, etc.

  Sean-----No offense, but I don't believe anyone is better than anyone else.  I think we all are equal to each other.  We all have different likes and dislikes, and different ways of thinking, but I don't believe in respecting one over the other.  No offense to you when I say this, but I believe we all are God's children and worthy of respect as such.   LOL

  blue----It's okay, I'm feeling better about things now.  I don't blame that person.  Must have one's reasons for it.  It's okay.   Thanks!

  hotaka-----Thanks, you are kind.  I don't think I have the courage to find out.  I'm too scared, I think, to want to know why.   At first, I thought I wanted to know, but now, I'm feeling too cowardly to want to know why.  Thanks anyhow, but I'm going to let the matter drop.  I'm just going to leave it alone.  

• Ormocanon said on Sep 01, 2008....

  I really don't know yet how it feels to be blocked. But from the point of view of the one doing the blocking, I feel relief that I don't have to go enroll in "anger management." I just blocked some anonymous asshole who's got a grudge on Sean Renaud. The commenter repeatedly kept on accusing Sean as Frit77 and I don't know how he/she/it managed to click 30 times on the comment box. I had to delete and re-post a couple of my articles because the more I delete he/she/its comments, the more the comments multiplied.

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Ormocanon-----wow!  That doesn't sound like much fun at all and it sounds mighty annoying.  I'm coming to your site, and read. if you don't mind.....Thanks for commenting!

• anonymous said on Sep 01, 2008....

  I"m sorry Crybaby that you when you think about Adolph Hitler you thnk that everthing he's done you  are no better than.  I'm sorry that you feel that human being can't be judged on their actions but it is your decision.  Untl you vote that all murderers be set free though we aren' enemies I just idisagree.

• SeanRenaud said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Sorry for the the anon, that was me.

• crybabylu said on Sep 01, 2008....

  Sean----I think you know what I mean.  Just because someone blocks one, does not mean that one is superior to the one doing the blocking.  When I talk about respecting all, I am speaking 'idealistically'. 

  We all are given opportunities to make right choices.  What we do with those choices bring about certain consequences.  That is all I meant.  I am not honoring the adolf hitlers or the like.......

  Thank you for taking the time to make your point.

• Lucytorial said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Finally got here after catching up a little bit.  Phew!
   
  I've had only three occassions here where I've been blocked.
   
  Several inconsistent times by one blogger who I now avoid but still find interesting... doesn't really phase me at all.
   
  Silver and Zayda blocked me early on when I did something very awful, I deserved it however having spent quite a long time on block apologising and what not, everyone else but Z & SW forgave and moved on in life.  It wasn't hurtful but there were some conversations I REALLY wanted to talk about (Their posts) and couldn't.  I'm not one to hold a grudge, its not in my nature, I have a shit and walk away, move on, happy again done and dusted.  Other people are not like me but I gave it time, it concerned me every now and then because I never really disliked either Ed or Z we just aren't that connected, in thinking or rationale or lifestyle.
   
  When I was unblocked by Z first well, it rocked me a bit and I was very thankful because I didn't hate her, I knew she had a hard streak (some say she is a bitch, well, she's good but I don't think bitch is the right word) but that comes with a certain type of person with a certain type of integrity they up hold.
   
  As with Ed, crickey! talk about tough, that guys got fucking croc skin as far as forgiving! (Ed lol) but at the end of the day we talked and expressed ourselves in a way I understood him, he understood me and now well, unblocked. 
   
  Not buddies, neither of them would say that but at least old annimosity has been allowed to erode to a fine dust rather than clog up the communication of life and peoples learning processes.  I've learned a lot because of it and have respect for both including myself in that whole experience.
   
  NB: Ed and Z ~ Hope I haven't offended but if I have then get the fuck over it cause you know I'm up front and I'm not gonna throw shit that sticks, its shit, I take a shower you take a shower and we laugh at how silly things can be.

• RollingC said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Angry that the fool blocked me over a petty dissagreement.  But I got over it after about a minute upon realizing how foolish and petty the whole thing was.

• crybabylu said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Lucy----Thanks for sharing!

  RollingC----Thanks!

• LtCmdrWorf1 said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Crybbaylu,
  
  I don't care if people block me.  The two times it happened were because one person didn't agree with my comment and another because they were being obnoxious and I became just as obnoxious as they did.  I don't block or delete anyone except spammers. Peace and Long Life
  
  Love Worf 

• crybabylu said on Sep 02, 2008....

  We don't live in an idealistic world though and to pretend that you Crybaby with your heart and inteligence and integrity is equal to this PARISHILTON posting all over SC, or to pretend that youre not BETTER than Frit77 is an insult to you and I won't be party to insulting someone of yoru charachter.
   
   

• crybabylu said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Sheltercrow----I don't know how to reply, so I will just simply thank you for taking the time to comment.

  Sean-----I do know what you mean, but I don't think that statute applies to the one who blocked me.  Thanks for commenting.

• sheltercrow said on Sep 02, 2008....

  hugecock!, coptips4u, and hottips4u are blocked for all the usual reasons. The others are just too ill informed and are better off not to comment or be read. SeanRenaud needs to find a better hobby, like reading. Last but not least, right wing zealots and Zionists are just too tedious and stupid.
  
  Have a good day.
  
  ps: if it's your blog post I assume your going to do a little cleanup now and again. Since I expect few comments, if someone leaves their human poop behind someone has to clean it up.
  

• SeanRenaud said on Sep 02, 2008....

  To paraphrase:  Shelter has the spamers blocked, and then the people who are superior to him.  Point made.

• Lucytorial said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Tee he heee *laughng at Shelter and Sean*

  One should never feel they are superior to another for as sure as shit stinks someone superior will come along.

• SeanRenaud said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Oh I'm sure I'll eventually meet my better.  That's just the way of things.  Well unless I'm the World's Finest which is a possibility :-P

• Lucytorial said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Hmm could be but will you ever know? thats the point, most people are well and truly rotting in the underground when it comes to point they were truly the best.
   
  I do so love your arrogance  *-}

• SeanRenaud said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Still I see no point in running around proclaiming to be medocre.  I mean what does it really say about you when you run around claiming to be average?

• Lucytorial said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Exactly, however from my perspective its better to live that life by example and keep your mouth shut.  Anyone I know who espouses their own uniqueness/greatness tends not to be able to back it up.
   
  Its something I enjoy in life when I meet someone, they start spouting off in the mouth, I sit back say nothing until they put their foot in it.  It requires very little energy, is extremely amusing and adds to my own sense of self because I am not insulting them, they are doing that themselves.  My integrity is not jeapordised by it at all if anything it shows I have far more integrity to back up my lifestye rather than being a boaster.

• SeanRenaud said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Ah. . . an extension of the don't argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience mantra.  Wise woman you are Lucy.  Far to wise to fall prey to be flattered on her own inteligence I'd be willing to bet.  I can respect your hold back method, it's just not a method I can successfully employ.  I'm more of a See, Want, Have person and it causes me to be pro-active in things.  You should try it sometimes Lucy, break out of the cage and fly with me a bit.  I promise you the world looks much better from up here.

• Lucytorial said on Sep 02, 2008....

  Sean ~ I like to fly, high, so maybe a taste of what you're saying might be good for me. Don't get me wrong when I jump off a cliff I do it knowing that I will land gracefully, with aplomb and charm enough to hide a weakened ankle ((te he he))
   
  Don't you find yourself playing catch up ball a lot though? I call that the steep learning curve with nothing but your wiles and wits to keep you safe ~ I've yet to try that one fully.
