I’m late here but whatever. I’m finding myself more and more on board with this, the more time passes. When I was younger, I would’ve been more willing to ‘debate’ every asshole but the older I’ve got, the more I’ve realised that they’ve all just got the same ‘points’ over and over again and if arguing those points hasn’t changed anything in the last 15 years, it probably won’t change anything now.
Same goes for “just asking questions”. It’s the same fucking questions that every JAQ-off asks, and all ‘questions’ that can be easily answered by shutting your fucking mouth and opening your ears for once. Maybe stepping out of your bubble and listening to what people who are different from you are saying for once.
Last night I blocked my first customer. Got a shitty, really over reacted and unnecessary comment to something. Checked their profile to see if it was just someone having a bad day and saw that literally every comment this person makes is to shit on someone, that’s their entire contribution to this platform. Even spotted a “typical white females” in there. So I just blocked, knowing that nothing of value has been lost to me.
And I think that’s how I’m gonna play it from now. If I get an aggressive response from someone that isn’t full of aggressive responses, I’ll indulge them a little. But if it’s someone that’s clearly just here to fight and make people miserable, the most attention I’ll pay them is hitting that block button.
