Blocking threads

I wish I'd skipped IKE's.

That was more offensive than some of the political carping that goes on here.

You mean the one about the blood drawing? I didn't find that offensive -- he was just commenting about his experience that day.

If that's what makes you feel happy, then that's definitely the way to go. Personally, I don't like to block anything or anyone. We all have 'moments' where we get a little tense or cranky, but being many faceted beings, we also have moments that are uplifting and enlightening to ourselves and to others. Not only that, but I think that aside from outright abuse and name calling, we can learn from others even with topics that push our buttons and our boundaries. And I think that's important because that's how we learn to get along even when things aren't going 'my' way.

Some here might think that on some topics, I'm totally pushy, but seriously folks, you should have seen me ten years ago when Rage was my middle name. I've learned an awful lot since then and 'several things' I've learned is how to relax, listen to others, present my case and not be a b**** about itlayful:.

Great response , some excellent points.
