I'm not sure who is going to see this, or who is going to read it or anything, but here goes anywhere.

I am unsure how to take certain actions. As I am sure everyone can be at some times.
In that regard, I would like to mention the fact of blocking people.
I have to ask, what is the point of blocking people?
But I already have an answer to that, don't I.
It's to keep people who are mean and annoying away from us.
After that, though. What do you do now?
I only ask this question because I have been blocked by two people (as far as I know), who I don't remember doing anything bad to. Since they have blocked me (their names will not be mentioned), some of their deviations have been removed from my favorites. Not only that, I can no longer comment on what they have done, I cannot favorite anything they do, I can't send them notes, and I cannot send them any messages.
It's not frustrating, because I forget about it after a while. But, eventually, memories resurface. Like those who have blocked me. To this point, I find blocking pointless.
Tell me, if you are reading this journal and gotten this far, have you blocked anyone? Why? What did they do? Do they remember you? I only ask because, it is pointless in a way. After you block someone, you forget about them, usually. Then, after a while, you may wonder why you blocked them at all.
It just makes me wonder why I was blocked by these two deviants I hold no ill will towards, one of whom I was watching, and commenting on their deviations, and favoriting them, as a fan.
In the end, isn't blocking sort of a useless feature?

I think it's useless, really. Why block someone & push the problem away even further if there's a problem in the first place? Why don't you simply work it out, if possible, instead of shoving it out of sight? If one can't handle an uncivil comment or someone who does not possess the same opinions/views as them, then why are they even on the internet. But alas, this is the internet after all. Nothing's fair. Not with all of the immature humans who miraculously achieved accessibility to such a place like this.
