@mattblaze Lol. I once had a rando guy yelling "Where's my First Amendments! Where's my First Amendments! I got Rights! Let me talk, I'm talking now!" about crazy train stuff. I grinned and said "I am not infringing on your Right to Free Speech. The First Amendment, however, does not require me to listen. And I don't allow any yelling in my office, so you can get out of my office and go First Amendment yourself all you want outside at the mailboxes. Talk to anyone who cares. Have a great day!"

Good luck. Pompous blowhards really believe everyone should care what they think. Hard fact: No.

@mattblaze Ah, the absolute right to say things at people who don't want to listen. "Free speech" at it's finest. 🙄

Fedizens, I realise it sometimes stings a bit when someone you admire blocks you (most of us do have feelings!) but as an adult you should be getting over that pretty quickly and respecting others' boundaries.

Not everyone is gonna like you no matter who you are. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@mattblaze

At least he's not accusing you of violating his Third Amendment rights.

@mattblaze

Blocking and muting is changing the corner you sit in at the party, it does not block the door.

Blocking is you putting your hands over your ears.

Too many people think blocking affects _their posting, or others seeing _their posting. As in preventing speech.

All blocking prevents is one person listening. I have blocked just because I dont want to add another topic to my own useless ranting.

I've blocked wonderful.people, to benefit them.

@mattblaze Dude doesn't know that walking away from an interaction is one of the oldest and most human of human relationships.

@mattblaze

certain folks seem to conflate "1st amendment rights" with "1st annoyance rights"...
