Sodahead is a site to express opinions! That being said, Has blocking gotten a bit out of control here?

When you express your opinion, that's one thing. It's quite another when you're called vile names for expressing your opinion. We are fortunate that being blocked is the worst thing we can do to one another.

The only thing that gets me, is people who say smart azz remarks then block so you can't respond. Don't dish it if you can't take it kinda thing. You know?

Blocking also expresses an opinion.

Some of the people here get out of control, that's why you maintain the right to block. Whether you use it or not.

I can understand blocking because you're being harassed, but to block simply because someone has a different opinion than your own defeats the purpose of Sodahead...

I block people always for a reason if they are annoying me or keep talking sexuality to me so stop trying make soda head get blocking off because it dumb to even try sometimes you need to block someone for your safely. And one more thing why does it matter if they block you or you block then is it hurting you are you bleeding or them no your not you don't even know the person anyways so it doesn't matter.

Yes i'm sure it has.Too many forget its an opinion site not a debate site. Really it should be an Arguing site because that is mostly what is done. Really at the end of the day does any of this really matter ? I think not.

But the whining about it has. I've had people I blocked get unblocked and come screwing around, yep blocked again. Not to mention some of the nastiest rudest personal comments made about my wife that got blocked and anyone who raved them.
But hey if you want to block someone fine, if not fine. NO One has to take abuse or personal attacks from anyone.

But that's life, some people can't stand opposing opinions.

They don't mind standing on their 1st amendment right to speak, but readily suspend other peoples right to rebuttle.

No, making BLOCKING a topic of discussion has gotten a bit out of control, though. Why discuss it so much?

At the end of the day, the people who whine about blocking are some of the same idiots who spew their vitriol onto the site on a regular basis. SodaHead aren't going to do a thing about it so it's either deal with it or leave.

it is my right on SH to block anyone I wish. I save it for idiots and the ignorant. They are not in short supply. I love the fools that get blocked and then come back whining about it on someone elses post. As for being blocked I see it as an honor that the ignorant and the idiots block me

It's so annoying. There's not a reason to block someone on an opinion site.

I've been blocked by some that I never even talked to. It's a blessing! It's like finding out that the person you were going to take out to dinner is a moody self serving bitch. You just saved yourself a bunch of money and a lousy time. Ha!

I find it strange that some people have to tell all their "friends" not to interact with someone they blocked. It's crazy. Anytime I jump someone here at SH they've provoked me into it. I know one poor sap that saves screenshots of what someone says to her but fails to show the abuse she throws. Pretty dishonest, don't you think.
