@d6@propensive For me blocking is just "I heard what you said, you've said it to me too many times, I'm tired of listening, thanks".3 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -

@shajra@travisbrown@d6 I think because the goal is to stop hearing the banal/repeated arguments. Unfollowing, you still get retweets.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@travisbrown@propensive@d6 I wish you all well, but whoever's blocking, I just ask that we try harder to avoid tribalism and listen more.2 replies 1 retweet 2 likes -

@travisbrown@shajra@d6 Well, it would be if the other side of the argument did the same, but that's not going to happen; accepted.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@travisbrown @shajra @d6 Either way, I hope yesterday was the beginning of the end of it.
