Not "I don't want any dealings w/ you at all *in public*". Not for you to decide.
-
Yes, it is! Who else gets to decide who I have dealings with on social media if not me?!
-
Nate, u saying this is a public forum so no one should block others (even if abusive?) Your personal Twitter rules aren't universal.
-
I've already clarified that I'm ok w/ Block for abuse (so long as that's not equated to "annoying", "time wasting", etc).
-
Anything that impedes the free exchange of ideas I will block for. But I support people blocking for any reason to make their Twitter theirs
-
Blocking is itself an impediment to free xchange of ideas, not a solution for impediments. I agree, it's trying to make a public space yours
-
It can be if you're blocking sets of ideas rather than people who can't have discussions of them. I don't but that's OK too.
-
Yes, you build your own Twitter by choosing who to follow and who to allow to follow you, who to hear & who to allow to hear you.
