So while today was rather slow in my 3D life, I think may have set some kind of record on this website; I got blocked by 3 separate 'entities', on 3 different posts, about 3 totally different topics.
Now before anyone jumps to any conclusions, I'm not even remotely complaining; I love being blocked.
It tells me that I got on the other person's nerves before they could get on mine.
=D
Nor am I trying to start yet another pointless argument about whether it constitutes "censorship". (It doesn't; unless your membership gets completely deactivated, you can always go make your OWN posts, and express whatever opinion you want.)
It merely got me to thinking about people's motivations when they make some of the comments that they do.
Personally, my only conscious intent when on this site is to entertain myself; and thereby make my tedious work day pass more quickly.
More often than not, my commentary is highly sarcastic, humorous, snarky, and on occasion, 'mean.'
I totally own that; it's how I am in real life, and it's not about to change anytime soon.
And yes, I'm aware that such an attitude can really make some folks angry.
All I can say to that is it's just a natural 'talent' of mine, because most of time, I'm really not intentionally trying to do so.
Sometimes I'm indifferent to that anger, at other times I find it hilarious, depending on just how far other people 'flip out.'
Hell, if the person in question decides to go on a rampage and start a 'flame war' or some such nonsense, chances are I'm gonna go grab some popcorn, and settle in to enjoy the show, because that's just free entertainment right there; haters are just awesome in that capacity.
What about you?
Do you actually enjoy pissing other people off, or is it something that you try to avoid?
Let's hear it, SH... but before we do, I have to do my best imitation of a broken record, yet again:
No Politics, No Religion; this ain't that kind of poll, bro.
Please 'play nice' and maintain a modicum of respect.

Never that.
Yikes, now that's scary; we actually have something in common...
*lolz
Congrats on your new World Record!!
Thanks.
;-)
I *was* kinda shocked to get blocked by Sista Prude-n-all, but hey, nuns happen. :-)
On the joys of trolling, I get my rocks off in other places/contexts. Here I'm Mr. Niceguy. . .mostly. :-)
Don't sweat the small stuff. . .and it's all small stuff.
Totally.
And I confess, sometimes I make folks block me. But never break TOS, heh heh.
And yes, I have blocked a personality or two. :-)
I sometimes politely become kind, after getting tired of dealing with someone who becomes no longer interesting, have found that kindly, but firmly pointing out what motivates a person's unpleasantness will give them a distaste for conversing with me.
This doesn't always work, as I only have but one brain cell.
I tend to be only as kind as the person I am dealing with.
I actually understand;
A few weeks back, I was in a great mood, and one of the hate-mongers came for me, trying to throw shade.
But instead of feeding into it, I started channeling my positive energy outward... in the form of West Side Story's 'I Feel Pretty.'
At first he kept trying to bait me, but all I would post in reply was... I feel pretty memes.
Then he started ignoring me, but by that time I was having way too much fun...
So I and my partner in crime kept posting 'I feel pretty' memes to each other.
And then the strangest thing happened...
He blocked me.
But I didn't "make" him.
;-)
Actually, come to think of it, a few people have blocked me over posting I feel pretty; I've found it to be quite the useful tool for counter-trolling.
But I'm gonna steal this little video you put up, heh heh.
