People keep talking about it, but no one had ever blocked me. I was beginning to feel, well, overlooked.
Also, isn't it cowardly to hide your Q&A? Don't you like to be able to check and see if the asker is a troll?

Wow, Deke, I have led a sheltered life. I can't imagine anyone having so little going on in their life that they become a YA stalker. Sad.

No, K*i*t*t*y, I don't take it seriously. This is called tongue in cheek.

OKAY, OKAY. I wasn't going to say, but several people have assumed I was thumping my Bible, which I was not. This person said [paraphrase], "If someone asked about my contribution to R&S, what would they hear?" I put one word - troll. Based on the answers I saw before I was blocked, I'd say he/she had to block a lot of people.

There's many people that keep their Q+A private because they're targeted, meaning someone goes through and reports everything they say.
Congratulations on your first blockage.

I have never looked at those issues from that perspective. If someone blocked me I would think they are uptight. I really don't care if someone hides their Q&A and I don't care if someone is a so-called troll.
I just take it one Q or A at a time, usually laughing as I go along. And I like most of the "trolls". They are the lifeblood of the board.

Cowardly? It's more like an act of self-preservation, as so many people like to add themselves to your contacts list, stalk you, snipe you, and try their damndest to get your account deleted.
I recently learned that I was blocked by another atheist. I don't know if there is a bigger compliment that I could receive.
EDIT : I had about 40 people add me to their contact list, only about half of which I knew. I have no idea who the others were, and it's well known that some people run multiple IDs here. It's not out of the realm of possibility that someone who I "knew" as a different ID added me, and was going through my Q&A's one by one, trying to eliminate me. I have the violation notices to back that theory up. Once I removed my contacts, and made my Q&A's private, it stopped.

I hide mine because of holier than thou pukes like you tend to have no life and follow people around reporting EVERY question and getting accounts deleted. Now stuff that in your smug pipe and smoke it.

I thought you religious folk always said there was no such things as atheists? I mean, we KNOW 'athiests' don't exist :P
